What does it take to become the longest-serving, elected Prime Minister in India’s history?
In a country as diverse & argumentative as ours, that’s no small feat
We come with different political beliefs, different priorities & very different ideas about the path forward.
But that’s not a flaw. It’s one of our greatest strengths.
I think that what’s sustained this remarkable journey is an aspiration that rises above those differences: the desire to build an India that offers a better quality of life for its citizens, while growing stronger & more influential on the world stage.
This aspiration itself is one that I suspect most Indians, irrespective of political views, can subscribe to.
Congratulations, Prime Minister Modi, on this historic milestone.
I thank the Chief Ministers and leaders of the NDA for their warm wishes. The NDA’s journey has been defined by a shared resolve to further national interest and regional aspirations. This spirit has strengthened our democracy, deepened cooperative federalism and accelerated development. Over the last 12 years, the NDA has provided a stable government that has furthered progress across sectors.
We will continue working together with renewed vigour in service of the nation and the vision of Viksit Bharat.
