"Continues to lead India ": Sukanta Majumdar lauds PM Modi's record-breaking tenure
Balurghat, June 10
Union Minister Sukanta Majumdar on Wednesday celebrated Prime Minister Narendra Modi's achievement of becoming India's longest continuously serving Prime Minister, a significant milestone in Indian political history.
Highlighting the historic nature of the occasion, Majumdar emphasised the impact of the Prime Minister's leadership on the nation's trajectory.
"There is a special day in the political history of India," Majumdar stated. "Prime Minister Narendra Modi has set the record for the longest tenure as India's Prime Minister."
Reflecting on the Prime Minister's vision for the country, the Union Minister expressed his hopes for the future under his guidance. "We pray to God that the Prime Minister remains healthy, continues to lead India in the same manner, and guides the nation on the path to becoming a developed India," he added.
Earlier, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders and Union Ministers on Wednesday hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for becoming India's longest continuously serving elected Prime Minister, describing the milestone as a historic moment for Indian democracy and crediting his leadership for the country's development, welfare initiatives, and rising global stature.
L Murugan, Minister of State of the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs and Minister of Information and Broadcasting, termed the occasion a historic day in Indian democracy, noting that Prime Minister Modi has completed 4,399 days, or 12 years, in office, surpassing the record of former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru. He said Modi had achieved the feat while leading the country with strong public support and guiding India towards the goal of Viksit Bharat.
Murugan said the Prime Minister's commitment to the welfare of the poor, inclusive development, and governance based on trust and collective effort had inspired citizens. He added that people across the country were praying for Modi's good health and long life and said he would offer prayers at a Murugan temple for the Prime Minister's continued leadership. The Union Minister also highlighted flagship initiatives such as the PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi and the Swachh Bharat Mission, saying they had contributed significantly to national progress alongside infrastructure development and social welfare measures.
Meanwhile, Karnataka BJP President B.Y. Vijayendra called the occasion historic and said India had continued to move forward despite global challenges under Modi's leadership. He asserted that the past 12 years of governance had been marked by development and clean administration, and expressed hope that the Prime Minister would continue leading the country towards the goals of Viksit Bharat and Atmanirbhar Bharat by 2047.

It's heartening to see a leader who works 18-hour days and actually cares about the nation. From surgical strikes to abrogation of Article 370, from Chandrayaan to vaccine diplomacy—Modi ji has shown what decisive leadership looks like. The way he connected with the diaspora during "Howdy Modi" events was brilliant. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳
While I acknowledge the progress, we cannot ignore the challenges. Unemployment remains a serious concern, especially for our youth. The economy needs more robust growth. I hope the next term focuses more on job creation and controlling inflation. A developed India by 2047 is a great vision, but we need practical steps visible on the ground, not just speeches and slogans. Balance is key.
As someone who moved to India for work from the US, I've witnessed the transformation firsthand. The ease of doing business has improved dramatically, and cities are cleaner due to Swachh Bharat. The digital payments revolution is incredible—even my chai wala uses UPI! PM Modi has truly modernized India while preserving its cultural roots. Kudos to the leadership! 👏
My grandparents in rural Tamil Nadu now have a proper toilet thanks to Swachh Bharat. My mother gets LPG subsidy directly in her bank account. But what truly moves me is how PM Modi has given India a sense of pride on the global stage—whether it's the UN Yoga Day or the 'Make in India' initiative. May he continue to lead with the same dedication. Long live Bharat Mata! 🙏🌸
