Uttarakhand CM Dhami congratulates PM Modi on becoming longest-serving elected Prime Minister
New Delhi, June 11
Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami said that he had the opportunity to receive inspiring guidance from Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the NDA Conclave held in New Delhi on Wednesday evening.
On the occasion, the Chief Minister extended his heartfelt congratulations and best wishes to the Prime Minister for setting a new milestone as the longest-serving elected Prime Minister of India.
"Received the inspiring guidance of the Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji at the NDA Conclave held in New Delhi. On this occasion, extended heartfelt congratulations and best wishes to him for establishing a new record as the longest-serving elected Prime Minister of the country," CM Dhami wrote on X.
Earlier, CM Dhami said that he had the opportunity to listen to the energetic and inspiring address of PM Modi at the NDA Conclave held at Bharat Mandapam in the national capital.
He stated that the Prime Minister's leadership consistently inspires and energises everyone to strengthen their commitment to nation-building.
The Chief Minister noted that 75 representatives from 35 constituent parties participated in this important NDA meeting.
All alliance partners expressed their unwavering confidence in the Prime Minister's leadership and extended their felicitations to him.
He said that India is currently witnessing a historic and proud era in which a new chapter of development is being written, guided by the principles of service, good governance, and the welfare of the poor.
The Chief Minister further said that under the Prime Minister's leadership, the vision of a Developed India has gained renewed momentum, while the mantra of "Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas" has become the foundation of public trust across the nation.
The greetings came as PM Modi completed 4,399 days in office, officially surpassing the previous record held by India's first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru.
India's first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, originally assumed office in 1947 and won the country's first general election in 1951-52. He remained in office until his passing in 1964. Meanwhile, Indira Gandhi, India's first woman Prime Minister, served for a little less than 16 years, but her tenure was spread across two separate stints.
This achievement of PM Modi marks over twelve years of continuous leadership at the helm of the nation. In a statement acknowledging the occasion, the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) on Wednesday extended its warm congratulations to Prime Minister Modi as he achieved a historic milestone - becoming India's longest-serving democratically elected Prime Minister in consecutive terms.

Honestly, I'm happy for the milestone but a little concerned about the concentration of power. Every leader needs checks and balances. I hope the opposition learns to work together to provide better governance alternatives. Ye toh democracy ka maamla hai!
From "Mai koi PM nahi hoon" to becoming the longest serving elected PM... what a journey! The way PM Modi has connected with small town India is remarkable. I'm from a village in Telangana and the electricity and roads here changed completely in the last decade. 👏
It's a proud moment for India! But also a reminder that we must stay vigilant about democracy. Personal milestones are secondary - what matters is the country's progress. Let's see how the next 5 years shape up with the coalition dynamics. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳
While this is a big deal politically, I worry about the cult of personality growing too strong. We must remember that leaders come and go, but the nation remains. The infrastructure development is undeniable though - our city roads and airports have improved tremendously.
Be it the abrogation of Article 370, the Ram Mandir movement, or the push for "Vocal for Local" - this man has redefined Indian politics. But I genuinely wish the unity among NDA allies translates into better coordination on ground. There's still work to do on farmer issues and unemployment.
