"This unparalleled milestone stands as a testament to your visionary leadership, statesmanship, and unwavering commitment to upholding democratic values and serving the nation with integrity," he added.
Earlier, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Sudhanshu Trivedi lauded the PM's 25 years and highlighted his rise from the Gujarat Chief Minister to a leader setting new benchmarks in governance, noting that the development model he introduced in Gujarat was appreciated not only in India but also around the world..
Speaking to ANI, Trivedi said, "24 years ago on this day, PM Modi became the CM of Gujarat, and perhaps this will be the first time in the history of India that he is entering his 25th year after continuously serving the people, creating new records of blessings and good governance for 24 years... The new model of development he introduced in Gujarat was appreciated not only in India but also around the world."
PM Modi is currently the second-longest-serving Prime Minister of India, having recently surpassed Indira Gandhi's record of serving as PM for around 11 years.
In 2029, when the next general elections will be held, PM Modi is set to complete over 15 years as Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister noted that over the past 11 years, India has undergone numerous transformations. Over 25 crore people have been lifted out of poverty, and the country has emerged as a bright spot among major global economies. He said that people across India, especially Nari Shakti, Yuva Shakti and hard-working Annadatas, have been empowered through path-breaking efforts and reforms. (ANI)
