PM Modi At 75: Still The Defining Force In BJP’s Politics

New Delhi, September 16:
As Prime Minister Narendra Modi turns 75, Indian politics continues to revolve around him, underlining his unmatched influence in the country’s democratic landscape.

From leading the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to a historic 282 seats in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, to securing 240 seats in 2024, Modi has remained the party’s main campaigner and most powerful electoral mascot. Despite questions in the early years about whether his charisma would sustain beyond one term, he has consolidated his position as the BJP’s central figure for more than a decade.

Far from retreating into political sunset, Modi continues to shape the party’s fortunes and electoral strategies. Even at 75, he stands at the core of the BJP’s identity, embodying both its successes and challenges.

Analysts note that few leaders in the world’s largest democracy have commanded such sustained dominance. Modi’s blend of strong leadership, mass outreach, and a carefully cultivated image ensures that the BJP’s political destiny remains closely tied to his presence.

As he steps into this milestone year, one fact is clear: Narendra Modi at 75 is not just a leader of the BJP—he is its defining force.
