Rajasthan BJP President Madan Rathore on Wednesday offered prayers at Jharkhan Mahadev Temple in Jaipur and lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership as he became India's longest continuously serving elected Prime Minister, describing his 12-year tenure as a period marked by development, prosperity, security and transformative governance.
Speaking on the occasion, Rathore said Prime Minister Modi has completed 12 years in office, amounting to 4,399 days of continuous leadership, and termed his tenure highly successful and dedicated to the nation's progress.
"Prime Minister Narendra Modi has completed 12 years in office, 4,399 days of continuous leadership. His tenure is highly successful, dedicated to the nation's progress, prosperity, and security," Rathore said.
Highlighting key achievements under the Prime Minister's leadership, the Rajasthan BJP chief said India has made significant strides in defence production and self-reliance while ensuring that welfare benefits reach citizens directly without the involvement of middlemen.
He said the government has undertaken extensive expansion of railway infrastructure and electrification projects across the country, contributing to improved connectivity and economic growth.
Rathore further noted that India was able to ensure the availability of fuel during challenging global circumstances, reflecting the government's ability to effectively manage crises and safeguard the interests of citizens.
He also highlighted flagship welfare initiatives launched during the Modi government's tenure, including Ayushman Bharat and the PM-Kisan scheme. According to Rathore, these programmes have played an important role in extending healthcare coverage and financial assistance to millions of beneficiaries across the country.
The BJP leader said industrial growth has accelerated under Prime Minister Modi's leadership, leading to increased employment opportunities and economic expansion. He added that the government's focus on development-oriented policies has contributed to strengthening India's overall growth trajectory.
On the issue of national security, Rathore referred to surgical strikes carried out by Indian forces and said such actions reflected the government's firm stance against threats to the country's sovereignty and security

I appreciate the focus on welfare schemes like Ayushman Bharat and PM-Kisan. My family in rural UP has directly benefited from these. The direct benefit transfer system has indeed cut out middlemen. But we must also ensure these schemes reach every last mile. Good work so far, but more needs to be done for the poor.
Modi ji has truly transformed India's image globally. The surgical strikes showed our military strength and made every Indian proud. Development in railways and infrastructure is visible everywhere you go. But you can't please everyone - some people will never appreciate what has been achieved. Proud to see India rising under his leadership! 🇮🇳
As someone who follows Indian news from abroad, it's interesting to see how Modi's tenure is being framed. The infrastructure work and welfare schemes sound impressive. But I also read about concerns over democratic space and press freedom. Would be good to see a balanced view. Still, 12 years as elected PM is remarkable anywhere.
The railway electrification and expansion has made travel much better. I commute between Delhi and Jaipur often and the difference is clear. But I wish the government would focus more on education and healthcare quality, not just coverage. Ayushman Bharat is good on paper, but hospitals need better infrastructure. However, credit where due - Modi has shown strong leadership in tough times.
Rathore ji is just doing his party duty. But let's not forget that governance is about more than just press releases. The economic growth numbers are good, but unemployment data tells a different story. We need policies that create sustainable jobs, not just rely on
