Early Life
Modi completed his higher secondary school education in Vadnagar in 1967. He was interested in social work; He joined RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) when he was 8 years old.
Childhood is a time for children to play and learn. But everything was the opposite in Modi’s life. He faced poverty first because his father sold tea at the railway station. Not only that but he had also faced difficulties and determinants. But he took all the difficulties, all the challenges, all the problems positively and made them into opportunities. He also took care of his studies and also helped his father in selling tea. He was a hardworking boy, even though he was weak in studying but he had the courage to do something. And all we know is what he has done. Here are some things related to him.
Modi was fond of swimming and he loved to play with crocodiles. Once he brought a baby crocodile when he was a child. Then he was put back at the behest of his mother. This incident shows his bravery.
Modi was also fond of reading books. He used to spend a lot of time reading.
Modi was very annoying and naughty. Once he had told his childhood story in a show. That he harassed the shehnai players. And how? It is very interesting, he showed them tamarind, and then when water came into his mouth, he could not play the shehnai.
One other story he told is that when he went to the wedding, he put staplers on the clothes of the people who were standing nearby.
Modi was very fond of speech. He often took part in speech and speech competitions.
Along with speech, he was also very interested in drama. He had taken apart many more times in school functions.
Once he was invited for a speech at a function. The program workers asked for his biodata. Then he wrote that I do not know who I am. And even after that, in many programs, he has given the same answer.
Modi was insistent to work on time. Even today, he advises that every work should be completed at the right time.
Modi says whether you are rich or poor don’t worry about it, you should believe in yourself. And he has also proved it. He has faced the problem of poverty in childhood and we all know where he is right now.

Marriage Life
At the age of 13, Modi’s engagement with Jashodaben was fixed by his family. When Modi was 18, he had arranged marriage with Jashodaben and then she was 17 years old.
According to the financial express, they lived some years together but Modi abandoned Jashodaben soon after the marriage. They became strangers to each other.
Modi’s biographers do not believe this. They say, “Both were definitely married but never lived together, after some years of marriage he renounced home and at that time their marriage life was about to end”.
Modi was inspired by Swami Vivekanand. Even today he believes Swami Vivekanand is his role model. Just like them, he liked to work for the nation and society.

Although, Modi had accepted Jashodaben as his wife. They met last time in 1987.
After they parted, Jashodaben lived in her father’s home and completed her further study in Dholka in 1972, she became a teacher and lived his life.

Under the leadership of Modi BJP won the state assembly with the majority. In 2014, Goa’s BJP working committee had handed over to Modi the responsibility of the post of Lok Sabha election. But L. K. Advani lost the election and they also lost many seats of the assembly. Then Modi was appointed as the candidate for the post of Prime Minister. After this, he started campaigning all over India.
