After Emergency, the Indira Gandhi government was routed in the polls and the new Janata Party government ascended to power. At the same time, Modi was promoted to sambhaag pracharak, the equivalent of a regional organiser, and soon, he began travelling far and wide, spreading the RSS word.

Seeing Modi’s commitment and hard work, the RSS then handed over more responsibility to Modi and he asked by the Sangh to join the BJP in 1987.

Recongised as a master strategist, Modi was trusted with the municipal elections in Ahmedabad. Taking on the challenge head-on, Modi began touring the entire state, campaigning and spreading the BJP’s word and worked tirelessly to ensure a victory. His results bore fruit when the party won the elections.

With the assembly elections approaching in 1990, Modi was once again entrusted to repeat his previous performance. The BJP came a close second to the Janata Dal and after that the BJP emerged as a formidable force in the state

It was in the late 1990s when Modi started to emerge as a key player when he became the general secretary of the party in Delhi. It was then that he was handed over the responsibility of carrying out national yatras. He was tasked with ensuring that L K Advani’s Somnath to Ayodhya yatra went off without any hitch. The task was not easy, but Modi carried it off to perfection.

Then in 1992, Modi helped Murli Manohar Joshi carry out the Ekta Yatra. The yatra was held in the backdrop of the volatile atmosphere in Kashmir after terrorists refused to allow the hoisting of the Tricolour in Srinagar. Before the yatra commenced, Modi inspected all the locations himself.

In 2001, Modi received his huge break when Keshubhai Patel, the former chief minister of Gujarat, was forced to step down in the fallout from the January Bhuj earthquake that killed around 2,000 people. Trusted with rehabilitation efforts, Modi began the task in earnest and led the efforts to rebuild.
