NEW DELHI: As Prime Minister Narendra Modi became the longest-serving head of government in India, the BJP on Monday hailed the achievement, calling it a proud moment.
This comes as PM Modi surpassed former Sikkim Chief Minister Pawan Kumar Chamling’s record of 8, 930 days. PM Modi has now entered his 8, 932nd day in public office as the head of government, having first served as the Chief Minister of Gujarat and now as the Prime Minister.
Speaking to reporters, BJP MP Nishikant Dubey said, “It is a proud moment. A person who came from a humble background, whose family used to sell tea, and who himself helped his father at the Vadnagar railway station, rose from there to provide the nation with a vision through the Gujarat Model. He has also given the mantra of Viksit Bharat@2047 and has continuously served the nation.”
BJP MP Shashank Mani said, “We continue to draw inspiration from our respected Prime Minister at all times. The way he has guided the country, and earlier his state, along with his conduct in public life, is truly admirable. The entire nation is proud.”
