12 years of continued service: Delhi CM Rekha Gupta hails PM Modi
New Delhi, June 10
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Wednesday said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 12 years have been marked by continuous service.
Speaking to reporters, the Delhi CM said, "Today, the PM has completed the longest tenure of any Prime Minister serving the country--a tenure marked by continuous service without taking a single day off... Today, every citizen of the country wishes to thank him and express deep gratitude for his contribution toward a 'Viksit Bharat'," Gupta said.
Earlier in the day, Vice President CP Radhakrishnan congratulated Prime Minister Narendra Modi on becoming the longest-serving elected Prime Minister in India's history, surpassing Jawaharlal Nehru, and said the achievement 'reflects a transformative era' in the country's development journey.
In a post on X, the Vice President said the milestone was not merely a measure of time in office but a reflection of the changes witnessed across various sectors under PM Modi's leadership.
"Heartiest congratulations to Hon'ble Prime Minister Shriman Narendra Modi Ji on becoming Bharat's longest continuously serving elected Prime Minister. This historic milestone is not merely a measure of time in office, but a reflection of a transformative era in our national development journey. Bharat has witnessed remarkable progress under his visionary leadership across every sphere from economic growth and infrastructure expansion to social empowerment and technological advancement; from enhanced global stature to a renaissance of our civilizational consciousness," Radhakrishnan said.
Other than the Vice President, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, and several other NDA allies, and global leaders congratulated PM Modi on the achievement.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday surpassed former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru to become the longest-serving elected Prime Minister of India. PM Modi has now served 4,399 consecutive days in office, surpassing Nehru's record of 4,398 consecutive days.

From infrastructure to global standing, PM Modi has indeed transformed India. As a young Indian, I feel proud seeing our country take bold steps on the world stage. Viksit Bharat is not just a slogan—it's a vision we can see happening on ground! 🙏✨
I appreciate the consistency, but let's not forget that democracy thrives on peaceful transitions and accountability. Long tenures can be good, but we need to ensure they don't become entrenched. India's greatness is in its people and institutions, not just one leader.
The way PM Modi has focused on development—digital payments, UPI, highways, railways, and even space missions—is truly remarkable. As a common citizen, I feel the positive impact in daily life. Thank you for serving the nation selflessly! 🇮🇳
Statistical milestones are fine, but I wish the media would focus more on issues like employment, inflation, and farmer welfare rather than just praising record tenures. Numbers don't always tell the full story of a common man's struggle.
So proud to see India's leader being recognized globally! The confidence India has earned under PM Modi's leadership is unmatched. From Chandrayaan to G20 presidency—these 12 years have truly put Bharat on the world map. 😊
