Former Nagaland Chief Minister S. C. Jamir, who in his early days served as Parliamentary Secretary to Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru, offers a unique perspective as Narendra Modi completes 4399 days in office, becoming the longest-serving Prime Minister of India in continuous elected tenure. Jamir draws an interesting distinction between the two leaders. "Panditji was a philosopher. Modi ji is a practical man. That's the difference," he says. Jamir points out that PM Modi's approach is marked by him getting involved personally in issues. “Nehru largely worked through officers and institutions, whereas Modi engages directly,” he says. “If you raise an issue with him, he addresses it personally without intermediaries.” This direct approach gives Modi firsthand knowledge of challenges across the country, including in the North East, whereas many concerns during Nehru’s time often did not reach the Prime Minister through layers of administration, says Jamir. “In those days, we were heavily influenced by British etiquette and administrative culture. Today we have our Indian model, making Prime Minister Modi far more accessible. Modi ji speaks openly and expresses freely, unlike many of his predecessors,” says Jamir. He also points to the shift in India's economic philosophy. “The Nehru government followed a Russian model of planned economy. Everything was controlled through licences. Therefore we could not develop like we are doing now under PM Modi,” he says. Jamir acknowledges that under PM Modi's leadership, this shift in economic policy is helping India emerge as one of the world's fastest growing major economies. S.C. Jamir adds, "The Northeast was neglected for far too long. When Modi ji took office, he gave unprecedented attention to this underdeveloped region. The scale of funding and development support we receive today is something we could hardly have imagined earlier. When I was Chief Minister, budgets often ran into just 10-20 crores. But today the investments are on an entirely different scale." "One of the most significant achievements for Prime Minister Modi's leadership has been the progress in the Naga peace process. For the first time, Naga underground groups agreed to sign two landmark political agreements," says Jamir. #LongestServingElectedPMModi

Called on the Acting President of Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela HE @delcyrodriguezv today with the leadership of @PetroleumMin and CMDs of India’s energy sector PSUs. India has a long standing energy partnership with Venezuela since 2008 and shares unique complimentarities with the country. Venezuela possesses biggest proven reserves of oil in the world, while India not only possesses huge demand for energy but also has the technological expertise and manpower to refine Venezuelan crude in our refineries. Venezuela is already among the largest crude oil suppliers to India in April & May 2026, which is a reflection of the future potential. Our technical team will visit Venezuela soon to further explore this potential. Indian companies already have existing investments in Venezuela and now look forward to building upon them, in addition to looking for newer opportunities for fruitful collaborations which will provide momentum to our quest towards energy security under the leadership of PM Sh @narendramodi Ji. @PMOIndia @PetroleumMin @MEAIndia @IndiaVenezuela @PIB_India @MIB_India @IndianOilcl @ONGC_ @ongcvideshltd @BPCLimited @HPCL @OilIndiaLimited @PetronetLNGLtd @IGLConnect @NRL_MoPNG @PetronetLNGLtd @gailindia @investindia @mygovindia @transformIndia
