COVID-19: Narendra Modi is a Leader at all Times





“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” ―Martin Luther King, Jr.


India’s Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi is an expert in converting threats into opportunities. A few weeks ago, there were protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC). Some of the States in India have passed resolutions against their implementation. With the onslaught of COVID-19, things have changed and the attention has been diverted to combating Coronavirus. Modi proposed 14 hours Janata Curfew which drew the attention across India and elevated his image globally. He involved the people in the fight against COVID-19 and diverted their attention from various major issues including economy and unemployment.

On 14 February 2019, a convoy of vehicles carrying security personnel on the Jammu Srinagar National Highway was attacked by a vehicle-borne suicide bomber at Lethpora in the Pulwama district, Jammu and Kashmir, India. The attack resulted in the deaths of 40 Central Reserve Police Force personnel and the attacker. The entire nation was shocked and saddened. He converted this threat into an opportunity by conducting surgical strikes in Pakistan and used the public sentiment to win the 2019 elections with a huge majority.

Modi has a list of great advisers who advise him on the right lines and he makes decisions as per the situation. Real leaders emerge during tough times, especially during the global crisis. Modi is a motivational leader and decisive leader who makes decisions fearlessly.  He is a leader at all times including war and peace, unlike Winston Churchill who was only a wartime hero.

Although COVID came out with several challenges it connected all Indians and united them into one platform emotionally. The Indian government announced a 21-day lockdown to stop the spread of coronavirus. Thanks to Modi for uniting all Indians into one platform and winning their hearts. Jai Hind!
