Union Minister for Railways, Information and Broadcasting, and Electronics and Information Technology, Ashwini Vaishnaw, on Wednesday lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi after he became the longest-serving elected Prime Minister in India’s history.
Speaking to ANI, Vaishnaw said: “It is a special day today because Narendra Modi has become the longest-serving democratically elected PM in the country. I have offered prayers that the PM continues to serve the nation and that all the 140 crore citizens join him in his resolve for Viksit Bharat 2047.”
The Union Minister said the NDA government had placed the country on a strong development path and claimed that public trust in the government remained high.
“The way the NDA government has put the country on the path of development, there is huge faith and trust in the NDA government in the country. Under the NDA, the country has seen tremendous changes, be it infrastructure, good governance, welfare of the poor or empowerment of women,” he said.
PM Modi on Wednesday became the longest-serving elected Prime Minister of India, surpassing former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. He is also the first Prime Minister born after Independence to hold the office.
Prime Minister Modi first took oath on May 26, 2014, after the Bharatiya Janata Party secured a majority in the Lok Sabha elections. He was re-elected in 2019 and returned for a third consecutive term in 2024.
