In October 2010, Narendra Modi, then Chief Minister of Gujarat, shared a vision that aimed to bring the nation together. He wanted to honour Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, known as the Iron Man of India, by building the world's tallest statue. Narendra Modi’s idea was not just about the size of the statue. It was meant to celebrate India’s unity, the strength of its people, and the legacy of a leader who helped unite the country during challenging times. CM Modi said, “Sardar Patel's statue will remind those who question India's existence that this nation was, is, and will remain eternal.” For him, the Statue of Unity was more than just a monument. It stood as a living symbol of India’s unity and a vision that inspired a national movement. #RashtriyaEktaDiwas

On the BJP's Foundation Day today, we trace the journey of a man who never stopped being what he started as. A karyakarta. "We were not fortunate enough to die for independence. But we are fortunate enough to live for a free India. Today is not the time to die for the nation - today is the time to live for it." "हमें आज़ादी के लिए मरने का सौभाग्य नहीं मिला। लेकिन आज़ाद हिंदुस्तान में जीने का सौभाग्य मिला है। आज देश के लिए मरने का समय नहीं है। आज देश के लिए जीने का समय है।“ - Narendra Modi, Vadodara, 16 May 2014. His first words after winning India's Prime Ministership. A karyakarta of the BJP, he had started the journey riding pillion on a colleague's scooter. 1987 | The Scooter There was no announcement. No ceremony. Narendra Modi began his BJP journey in Gujarat as Organisation Secretary - a back-room man, a builder, invisible by design. His entry into active politics, by his own account, happened because a senior colleague, Nathalal Jaghda, was unwell and needed someone young to accompany him to party meetings. "I started sitting on his scooter, and that is how I got pulled into this work." - Narendra Modi, TV Asia interview, 1999 His first assignment? The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation elections. BJP had 21 seats going in. They came out with 64 - an absolute majority! The first time in the city's history. Narendra Modi was the architect behind this victory. That same year, in a closed-door address to BJP workers, he said something that would define everything that followed: "The path in life for a BJP karyakarta is not 'what to be' - but 'what to do'." "ભારતીય જનતા પાર્ટીના કાર્યકર્તાના જીવનમાં 'કઈ બનવું' નહીં, 'કઈ કરવું' માર્ગ છે." - Narendra Modi, Sangh Shiksha Varg address, 18 May 1988 #47YearsOfNationFirst

The journey from vision to reality began with the launch of the Loha Sangraha Abhiyan (Iron Collection Campaign). “Sardar Patel was Loh Purush (Iron Man), and I want iron pieces from your villages. But we do not want any piece of iron, we want iron pieces (tools) used by farmers during farming... because after all, Sardar Patel was the son of a farmer,” Narendra Modi said in 2013, urging every farmer to participate in this national tribute. The Statue’s foundation was laid on 31st October 2013, on the birth anniversary of Sardar Patel. Narendra Modi gave a clarion call for national unity in his speech and said India’s speciality is the unity in diversity. He said: “Bhasha Anek, Bhav Ek. Rajya Anek, Rashtra Ek. Panth Anek, Lakshya Ek. Boli Anek, Svar Ek. Rang Anek, Tiranga Ek. Samaj Anek, Bharat Ek. Rivaj Anek, Sanskar Ek. Karya Anek, Sankalp Ek. Rah Anek, Manzil Ek. Chehre Anek, Muskaan Ek.” #RashtriyaEktaDiwas

Letters from the PM | No One Stands Alone in India In a nation of over a billion, feeling personally seen is rare. But Prime Minister Narendra Modi continues to make it possible. When Vipul Pitroda’s young daughter was battling for her life, the Pradhan Mantri Jan Aarogya Yojana covered the full cost of her treatment—saving her life without breaking the family. What touched Vipul even more deeply was a personal letter from the Prime Minister himself—acknowledging the fear, the sleepless nights, and the helplessness of a father watching his child fight to survive. “For my daughter, it was a new lease on life. For me, it was the moment I knew—we’re not alone,” said Vipul Pitroda from Rajkot, Gujarat. Whether through a life-saving policy or a letter, in our hardest hours, his presence offers more than support—it feels like the strength of a nation wrapped around us.

In 2011, then-Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi raised his voice against the handling of 26/11 suspect #TahawwurRana's case in the US courts, calling out the dubious machinations behind his acquittal. "How can courts in America give judgment for a terrorist attack that happened in India? Would they allow the trial of 9/11 accused in India?" CM Modi exposed the dangerous precedent being set, warning that terrorists could manipulate legal systems abroad and evade justice while also slamming the UPA government for its weak stance. Fourteen years later, the world has come full circle. During Prime Minister Narendra Modi's official visit to Washington, U.S. President Donald J. Trump announced the approval of Tahawwur Rana's extradition, labeling him a "very violent man" and confirming that the U.S. would hand him over to India immediately. This is a significant moment—not just in counterterrorism efforts but also in global diplomacy. It marks a shift from the days when India's concerns were brushed aside to today when the world acknowledges and respects India's commitment to justice.
