Changed the fate of the poor: BJP leaders hail PM Modi's record-breaking tenure

BJP leaders hail PM Modi's record-breaking tenure, highlighting poverty alleviation and global leadership as he surpasses 8,931 days in office.

"He changed the fate of the poorest of the poor. - VD Sharma"

New Delhi, March 23

Bharatiya Janata Party leaders on Monday lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi as he became the longest-serving head of government in the country, highlighting his contributions to governance and public service.

Speaking to ANI, BJP MP VD Sharma said, "The Prime Minister has recorded history... He changed the fate of the poorest of the poor."

Rajya Sabha MP Dinesh Sharma also praised PM Modi's dedication as India advances globally.

"What bigger example can it be of dedication to public service... He has established himself as a global leader because while the world suffers, India goes on with the continuous pace," he told ANI.

BJP MP Arun Govil also added, "We are fortunate to have such a leader for whom the nation always comes first, and who never plays politics like the opposition..."

PM Modi's milestone comes after he surpassed former Sikkim Chief Minister Pawan Kumar Chamling, reaching 8,931 days in office across his tenure as Gujarat Chief Minister and Prime Minister, breaking Chamling's record of 8,930 days.

The achievement underscores Modi's decades-long leadership and continuous public service. He remains the first Prime Minister born after Independence and has led his party to three consecutive Lok Sabha victories in 2014, 2019, and 2024.

In March, PM Modi crossed the significant milestone of 30 million subscribers on YouTube, further cementing his position as the most-followed world leader on the platform.

Among world leaders, PM Modi has the highest number of subscribers on YouTube. As per the rankings, he is comfortably ahead of others in the category. The second-highest, former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, has a subscriber base that is only about one-fourth of PM Modi's.

PM Modi has more than seven times the number of subscribers compared to US President Donald Trump, underlining the scale of his digital outreach and engagement worldwide.

This achievement comes after Prime Minister Narendra Modi earlier crossed the historic milestone of 100 million followers on Instagram, becoming the first world leader and politician to achieve this feat on the platform.

While the record is impressive, I wish the article also talked about the ground reality for the 'poorest of the poor' he mentioned. Inflation and job creation remain big concerns for many families.

His global stature is undeniable. When he speaks at the UN or G20, you feel a sense of pride. India's voice is heard louder now. The YouTube numbers just prove his connect with the youth.

Interesting to see the digital metrics being highlighted. The social media following is massive, but I wonder how that translates to on-ground policy impact for rural development.

Schemes like Ayushman Bharat and Ujjwala Yojana have directly helped my family in the village. That's what matters more than records. Wishing him well.

Longevity in office is one thing, but consistent electoral mandate is another. Three consecutive wins shows the public's faith. The opposition really needs to step up their game.
