A captivating collage of photographs has taken social media by storm, showcasing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s unbroken association with every single national president of the BJP across four decades. Shared by the renowned ‘Modi Archive’ on X, the post titled ‘Narendra Modi with BJP National Presidents – 12 Presidents, 15 Leadership Terms’ has gone viral, drawing massive engagement.
From the party’s formative years under Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Lal Krishna Advani to the dynamic leadership of recent figures like Amit Shah, J.P. Nadda, and now Nitin Nabin, Modi’s face is a constant in these historic frames. The collection includes 12 presidents and their 15 tenures: Vajpayee (1980-1986), Advani (1986-1991, 1993-1998, 2004-2005), Joshi (1991-1993), Thakre (1998-2000), Laxman (2000-2001), Krishnamurthy (2001-2002), Naidu (2002-2004), Rajnath Singh (2005-2009, 2013-2014), Gadkari (2009-2013), Shah (2014-2020), Nadda (2020-2026), and Nabin (2026-present).
These images trace Modi’s ascent: a young RSS pracharak turned Gujarat BJP secretary, state chief minister, and eventually the nation’s Prime Minister. No matter the era—be it the Ram Janmabhoomi movement days or modern organizational overhauls—Modi stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the party president.
Timing couldn’t be more symbolic. With 45-year-old Nitin Nabin from Bihar stepping in as the youngest-ever BJP chief, the post celebrates generational transition while affirming Modi’s central role. Users online are praising it as an emotional chronicle of loyalty, with comments flooding in about his ‘irreplaceable contributions’ to the party’s growth from a modest outfit to India’s dominant political force.
PM Modi himself joined festivities at party HQ, welcoming Nabin and honoring past presidents’ legacies. This viral moment not only evokes pride but also highlights the BJP’s unique blend of experience and youth, anchored by Modi’s unwavering presence. It’s a reminder that in the volatile world of politics, true continuity builds empires.
