"Testament to tireless dedication, integrity and nation-first governance..." Kiren Rijiju hails PM Modi

PM Narendra Modi surpasses Pawan Kumar Chamling's record with 8,931 days in office, hailed by Kiren Rijiju and Amit Shah for his dedication and transformative governance.

"His 8,931 days of service... stand as a testament to tireless dedication, integrity & nation-first governance. - Kiren Rijiju"

New Delhi, March 22

Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju on Sunday hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi as India's longest-serving leader, praising his 8,931 days of uninterrupted public service, breaking the 8,930-day record of former Sikkim CM Pawan Kumar Chamling.

Taking it to X, Rijiju wrote, "A truly remarkable milestone. PM @narendramodi ji today becomes the longest-serving head of a government in India, surpassing the 8,930-day record of former Sikkim CM Pawan Kumar Chamling. His 8,931 days of service, from Gujarat CM to Prime Minister, stand as a testament to tireless dedication, integrity & nation-first governance. An inspiring journey of trust and Seva."

Earlier today, Union Home Minister Amit Shah also hailed PM Modi's "sheer commitment" to the nation, noting that his tenure has reshaped India through development initiatives, welfare measures, and bolstering the country's global stature.

In a post on X, Amit Shah wrote, "Modi Ji's decades of Seva have shaped an era of his own. Whether it is giving the poor their rights, setting new landmarks in development or enhancing the nation's pride on global platforms, the Modi era has transformed India unrecognisably."

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 tenure is impressive, I hope this milestone is also a moment to reflect. The focus should remain on delivering for all citizens, addressing economic disparities, and ensuring inclusive growth that reaches the last person in line.

The digital outreach numbers are mind-blowing! 30 million on YouTube and 100 million on Instagram? It shows how effectively he connects with the youth and the global Indian diaspora. A modern leader for a modern India.

It's a significant record, no doubt. But let's not forget the work of leaders like Pawan Kumar Chamling who served a small state with dedication for so long. Every leader who serves the public sincerely deserves recognition.

Jai Ho! The nation-first approach is visible in every action. From surgical strikes to handling COVID, and now making India a voice on the world stage. This is the strong leadership we needed. Proud moment!

Longevity in service is commendable. However, the true testament will be how history judges this era on parameters beyond social media followers—like education quality, healthcare access, and job creation for our graduates.
