Narendra Damodardas Modi (born 17 September 1950) is an Indian politician serving as the 14th and current Prime Minister of India since 2014. He was the Chief Minister of Gujarat from 2001 to 2014 and is the Member of Parliament for Varanasi. Modi is a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a Hindu nationalist volunteer organisation.

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will share a video message with Indians on Friday as central and state authorities work on a war footing to contain the spread of covid-19 and give relief to those who lost their livelihood. “At 9 AM tomorrow morning, I’ll share a small video message with my fellow Indians," Modi said in his twitter handle.
A government official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that the Prime Minister’s message would be about matters in general and would be under 10 minutes.
This will be the Prime Minister’s third message on coronavirus pandemic since 19 March, besides his 'Man Ki Baat' radio programme on 29 March.
