The picture, where PM Modi is without his iconic beard that become a trademark of his appearance in later years, was taken in 1994 when he was visiting Washington DC. Alongside PM Modi is fellow party member G Kishan Reddy, who is currently the Minister of Development of North Eastern Region of India.

As reminded in a Facebook post in 2014 by Reddy, PM Modi was in the US on the invitation of American Council of Young Political Leaders (ACYPL). Another politician also part of the team was late Ananth Kumar, who was former Minister of Parliamentary Affairs of India and Minister for Fertilizers and Chemicals.

The Minister had shared other pics from his memorable trip to the US with PM Modi.
