12 saal 'bemisaal': Union Minister CR Patil hails PM Modi's leadership
New Delhi, June 9
Union Minister CR Patil on Tuesday lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi for soon to become India's longest-serving PM in a continuous term, describing the PM's tenure as 'bemisaal'.
On June 10, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will complete 4,399 consecutive days in office, surpassing India's first PM Jawaharlal Nehru's record of 4,398 days served after the first general election in 1952. The achievement marks a significant moment in the country's political history.
Speaking to ANI, Patil highlighted the impact of the Prime Minister's leadership over the past twelve years, describing the period as a time of transformative governance that has touched every corner of the nation.
Reflecting on the government's approach, Patil emphasised that the success of the administration lies in its planning and effective execution.
"If we were to sum up what the entire nation is saying today in a single word, it would be that Prime Minister Modi's twelve years have been 'unparalleled' (bemisaal). Whether it is across sectors, for every individual, in every region, or in every state, he has formulated and implemented schemes to meet everyone's needs and ensured that the benefits actually reach the people. This comprehensive planning is precisely why people call these twelve years unparalleled," Patil said.
The Union Minister also pointed to PM Modi's ability to connect with voters during election cycles, noting that his presence often changes the political atmosphere.
"Speaking of elections, whenever the Prime Minister's rallies begin, there is a distinct surge in public momentum, which invariably translates into votes. We witnessed this recently in the West Bengal elections, just as we have seen it before," he said.
Patil attributed the Prime Minister's popularity to his down-to-earth nature and his deep understanding of common concerns.
"Prime Minister Modi has always remained grounded and connected to the grassroots. He understands the problems people face on the ground very well and knows the solutions to them; this is why people feel a sense of personal connection with him," he said.

I'm not a blind supporter but have to admit, the way PM Modi has connected with the grassroots is remarkable. From Ujjwala to Ayushman Bharat, schemes that actually reach the poor - that's what makes him different. But we still need to see more on unemployment.
As someone who moved back to India from the US, I genuinely see the change. In our village, people finally have toilets, gas connections, and bank accounts. The 'bemisaal' claim might sound like praise, but the data backs it up. Infrastructure and connectivity have transformed rural India.
Honestly, I find this a bit too much hero worship. Yes, 12 years is an achievement, but we should also talk about what hasn't been done - agrarian distress, inflation, and the handling of communal tensions. A leader should be praised without making them a deity.
The West Bengal election example is interesting - Modi ji's rallies do create a wave. But the real test is whether that translates into long-term development. As a foreigner living in India for work, I've seen the roads, railways, and airports improvement firsthand. Impressive but there's always room for more.
12 saal 'bemisaal' - well said! I'm from Gujarat and have seen Modi ji's journey from CM to PM. His biggest strength is execution. Schemes like PM Awas Yojana and Swachh Bharat are not just on paper - they've changed lives in my own village. 🙌 Fortunate to witness this era!
