"No section remains untouched by PM's schemes": Delhi BJP chief Harsh Malhotra hails PM Modi's record-breaking tenure
New Delhi, June 10
Delhi BJP President Harsh Malhotra lauded the Prime Minister's dedication to the nation. "Today, people across the country are praying for Prime Minister Modi's long, healthy, and active life. For the invaluable service he has rendered to the people of the country, no section remains untouched by the Prime Minister's schemes," Malhotra said.
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta 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.
Bihar Minister Ramkripal Yadav also congratulated the Prime Minister, saying that under the vision of "Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas," the country had reached new heights over the last 12 years.
Other than the Vice President, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, and several other NDA allies, 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.

Honestly, this is a historic milestone. But let's not forget that governance is about outcomes, not just tenure length. While I appreciate some welfare schemes, the issue of rising inflation for common man is still there. Let's see real "Viksit Bharat" in our villages, not just Delhi speeches. 🤔
"No section remains untouched" - that's actually true! Even my grandmother in a small village in UP got a gas connection and toilet under PM's schemes. The digital India initiative has made life easier for everyone. 12 years of dedicated service, no holiday... that's real commitment. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳
As someone from outside India, I see the transformation in infrastructure and global standing. But I also hear about concerns over press freedom and minority rights. Milestones are great, but let's not ignore the cracks. Balanced growth matters more than blind praise.
Comparing to Nehru's tenure of 4,398 days... but those were different times - post-independence challenges. PM Modi's record is in a modern India. I'm grateful for schemes like Skill India and Startup India, but ground-level implementation in rural areas still lags behind. Hoping next term focuses on quality education and healthcare for all. 🙏
"Longest serving elected PM" - that's a great achievement no doubt. But my family in Bihar still struggles with basic water and electricity despite all the schemes. The vision of "Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas" sounds good in speeches, but we need to see it in our daily lives. Congratulations on the milestone, but work remains. 👍
