No the image of Modi cannot be used without taking permission from Modiji. It would infringe his privacy.

If the cuttings are speaking about your project, the same can be used and if the same are stated in general then it cannot be used in the advertisement as well. If by way of advertisement, a wrong impression is given to the public, the same is not permissible.
