New Delhi is buzzing with nostalgia and admiration as a viral social media post highlights Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s enduring relationships with every national president of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The popular X handle ‘Modi Archive’ has shared a stunning photo collage featuring PM Modi alongside all 12 BJP presidents from the party’s inception to the present day.
This meticulously curated collection, titled ‘Narendra Modi with BJP National Presidents – 12 Presidents, 15 Leadership Terms,’ has exploded across platforms, amassing thousands of likes, reposts, and views in mere hours. It serves as a powerful visual testament to Modi’s consistent presence at the pinnacle of BJP leadership over four decades.
The images capture intimate and formal moments spanning generations: from early meetings with Atal Bihari Vajpayee (1980-1986) and Lal Krishna Advani (multiple terms including 1986-1991, 1993-1998, 2004-2005), to interactions with Murali Manohar Joshi (1991-1993), Kushabhau Thakre (1998-2000), Bangaru Laxman (2000-2001), Jana Krishnamurthy (2001-2002), Venkaiah Naidu (2002-2004), Rajnath Singh (2005-2009, 2013-2014), Nitin Gadkari (2009-2013), Amit Shah (2014-2020), J.P. Nadda (2020-2026), and the current youngest president, Nitin Nabin (2026-present).
Each snapshot tells a story of trust and collaboration. Whether in the foundational era of Vajpayee and Advani or the transformative phases under Shah and Nadda, Modi appears as a central figure, evolving from a grassroots organizer in Gujarat to India’s longest-serving Prime Minister.
This collage arrives at a poignant moment, coinciding with Nitin Nabin’s assumption of office as the 45-year-old Bihar leader becomes BJP’s youngest-ever national president. PM Modi, who began his journey with the Bharatiya Jana Sangh in his youth, has worked closely with every leader in various capacities—from Gujarat BJP organizer to Chief Minister and now PM.
Social media users are hailing it as a tribute to Modi’s ‘exceptional political longevity’ and the party’s organizational depth. Many see it as visual proof of his pivotal role in BJP’s electoral triumphs and expansion. The post underscores a rare continuity in Indian politics, where one leader has been the trusted confidant of every party chief across eras.
As celebrations for the new president’s induction continue at BJP headquarters—with PM Modi personally attending— this archive reminds us of the ideological commitment and leadership resilience that define the BJP’s success story.
