2014 Indian Election
Starting with the current Hero Modi (BJP) .........
Narendra Damodardas Modi (born September 17, 1950) is the longest-serving chief minister of Gujarat. He has been successfully re-elected three times. Widely seen as a protege of LK Advani, a senior BJP leader and its former president, Modi is known for his astute administrative skills and has a record for being incorruptible. He is credited with turning around Gujarat's economy and making it an attractive investment destination for industrialists.

Modi's nemesis though has been the Gujarat riots that broke out after the Godhra train burning incident in 2002. Allegedly, while Hindu rioters went on a rampage against the Muslims, killing people and destroying property, the state administration under Modi's charge turned a blind eye and failed to control the violence.
In 2005, the state department had revoked a visa that Modi had for travelling to the US in the wake of the 2002 riots in Gujarat.
The US has repeatedly said there is no change in its long-standing visa policy relating to Modi but he is free to apply for a visa and await a review like any other applicant.
