PM Modi becomes longest-serving head of government, draws wishes from across the nation

PM Narendra Modi surpasses a historic tenure record, drawing congratulations from leaders nationwide and cementing his global digital influence.

"This landmark is a testament to one's grit and resolve. - Jagan Mohan Reddy"

New Delhi, March 23

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday became India's longest-serving head of government, completing 8,931 days in office and surpassing the record of former Sikkim Chief Minister Pawan Kumar Chamling's record of 8,930 days.

The achievement underscores PM 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.

Several senior leaders congratulated PM Modi on the milestone, praising his "decades-long dedication, continuous public service, and commitment to development and good governance".

In a post on X, President of Yuvajana Sramika Rythu (YSR) Congress Party, Jagan Mohan Reddy posted, "Heartfelt congratulations to Hon'ble PM Shri Narendra Modi ji on completing 8,931 days as Head of Government and setting a historic milestone in dedicated public service. This landmark is a testament to one's grit and resolve. Wishing you strength and good health in the service of the nation."

Pushkar Singh Dhamni, the Chief Minister of Uttarakhand, also congratulates the Prime Minister and hails him for his continuous efforts in making the state of Uttarakhand 'strong, prosperous, and self-reliant.'

In a post in X, he wrote, "Fulfilling the dreams of the state agitators, in line with the hopes and aspirations of over 1.25 crore residents of the province, our government, under the inspiration and guidance of the honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji, is continuously working towards building a strong, prosperous, and self-reliant Uttarakhand.

With better coordination between economy and ecology, we are committed to the sustainable development of Devbhoomi Uttarakhand and the welfare of its residents, guided by the mantra of 'Development as well as Heritage'."

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.

Records are nice, but what truly matters is the impact on the common man. While there have been achievements, I hope the next phase focuses more on job creation and controlling inflation. The length of tenure should translate to deeper, widespread prosperity.

The digital numbers are staggering! 100M on Instagram? It shows how effectively he has used social media to communicate directly with people, cutting through traditional media. A masterclass in political communication, for sure.

Being the first PM born after independence gives him a unique perspective. He has shaped the modern Indian political narrative like no one else. The connection with states like Uttarakhand, as mentioned, shows a focus on holistic national development.

It's interesting that the previous record was held by a Chief Minister and not a PM. Shows that dedication can come from any level of governance. Congratulations to Modiji, but let's also appreciate the work of all our long-serving leaders across parties.
