In a digital blast from the past, ‘Modi Archive’ on X has unveiled a photo montage that captures Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s deep-rooted connections with all 12 national presidents of the BJP, spanning over 40 years and 15 leadership terms. The post, which has racked up viral status with thousands of interactions, paints a vivid picture of Modi’s pivotal journey within the party.
Titled evocatively, the collage features Modi with icons like Atal Bihari Vajpayee, L.K. Advani, M.M. Joshi, Kushabhau Thakre, Bangaru Laxman, J. Krishnamurthy, Venkaiah Naidu, Rajnath Singh, Nitin Gadkari, Amit Shah, J.P. Nadda, and the freshly appointed Nitin Nabin—the youngest at 45 from Bihar.
Delving into history, the images span critical phases: coalition-building under Advani, organizational revamps by Rajnath and Gadkari, and electoral juggernauts led by Shah and Nadda. Modi, starting as a dedicated worker in Gujarat, emerges as the thread weaving through each presidency, embodying loyalty and strategic acumen.
This revelation hits amid Nabin’s inauguration, signaling a youth infusion while Modi—whose career began in the Jana Sangh era—remains the glue. Social media is abuzz with accolades for his ‘timeless relevance,’ with many calling the collage a ‘masterclass in political endurance.’
At BJP headquarters, Modi graced the event, lauding predecessors and embracing the new guard. Beyond visuals, this archive symbolizes ideological steadfastness, from the party’s 1980 founding to today’s dominance. It challenges narratives of fleeting alliances, proving Modi’s role as the enduring architect of BJP’s rise—a story of trust earned across generations.
