Congratulations to my friend Prime Minister @narendramodi on becoming India’s longest-serving elected Prime Minister. This historic milestone reflects not only his enduring leadership, but also the trust and confidence the people of India have placed in him over the years.  I have the privilege of knowing and working with Prime Minister Modi, and I continue to admire his vision for India’s future. As I have said before, I consider him the Ronald Reagan of India for his ability to inspire optimism, drive economic growth, and instill a strong sense of national pride. I extend my sincere congratulations to Prime Minister Modi on this remarkable achievement and wish him, and the people of India, continued prosperity and success in the years ahead.

Congratulations, Mazel Tov, my dear friend @PMOIndia @narendramodi, on becoming India's longest-serving elected Prime Minister! 🇮🇱🇮🇳

Today, Prime Minister @narendramodi made history in India as he now is the longest serving Prime Minister of India. Here on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, we recognize India as a key democratic partner and thank the Indian-American community for their contributions to our hospitals, universities, and businesses.

Heartiest congratulations to Prime Minister @narendramodi on becoming India’s longest-serving elected Prime Minister. Your leadership has inspired millions and elevated India’s standing across the world. Proud moment for every Indian. 🇮🇳 @narendramodi @PMOIndia @cgihou

Good to be here to support vital assistance programs from BAPS—for families in need here and around the world—at their Charity Walkathon in Piscataway today.

An energizing Sunday morning spent at the B.A.P.S. Charities annual walk-a-thon, celebrating the importance of community, service, and making a difference!

Service has a powerful way of bringing people together, and few organizations live that mission more fully than @BAPSCharities. Over the past two days, that spirit was on full display at the annual Spirit of Service Walk-Runs—first at Falls Township Community Park in support of the Middletown Community Foundation, and again this morning at Lions Pride Park in Warrington in support of the Warrington Township Police Department’s Shop with a Cop program. Over the years, our longtime partnership has grown into a true friendship, rooted in our shared mission to unite, serve, and strengthen the community we are all blessed to call home. Thank you to the entire BAPS team, countless volunteers, and every neighbor who joined us!

This weekend, thousands joined the 2026 @BAPSCharities Walk | Run to support local charitable causes and strengthen their communities. We are grateful to U.S. Senator @MarkWarner of Virginia, U.S. Senator @RogerMarshallMD of Kansas, @RepBrianFitz (PA-1), Rep. @FrankPallone (NJ-6), @RepGregLandsman (OH-1), @RepGraceMeng (NY-6) and many other leaders who joined participants in turning compassion into action and making a meaningful difference.

Thank you @CasforTX for joined and supported walk event.

Today, BAPS Charities – Dallas hosted the 24th Annual Walk | Run 2026 at Levy Event Plaza in Irving with 1,300 participants supporting @childrens , @TheMainPlaceirving & @MetrocrestHelps.

Over the past three weeks, @BAPSCharities children, youth, and families visited city council meetings across North Texas — including Irving, Allen, McKinney, Plano, Flower Mound, Coppell, and Farmers Branch — to personally invite local leaders and residents to the upcoming BAPS Charities Walk in Irving, Texas. Through these visits, our youth shared BAPS Charities’ continued commitment to supporting local causes by raising awareness, encouraging community participation, and generating financial support for organizations serving our North Texas families. We are grateful to the Mayors, City Council Members, City Managers, Police Chiefs, Fire Chiefs, government officials, and community leaders who welcomed our youth and encouraged their spirit of service. For the past 23 years, the BAPS Charities Walk has brought together families, volunteers, civic leaders, and community partners with one shared purpose — to serve our community and inspire the next generation to give back. Proud of our children and youth for representing the values of service, unity, humility, and community impact. #BAPSCharities #SpiritOfService #InTheJoyOfOthers #NorthTexas #IrvingTX #AllenTX #McKinneyTX #PlanoTX #FlowerMoundTX #CoppellTX #FarmersBranchTX #CommunityService #YouthLeadership #LocalCauses #CommunityImpact
