In his message, Pradhan wrote, “Today marks a significant moment in India’s democratic history — as our respected Prime Minister Narendra Modi, by serving continuously for 4,078 days, becomes the second-longest serving Prime Minister of India. This is not just a milestone, but a chapter in the extraordinary journey of nearly 24 years that PM Modi has led democratic governments at both state and central levels.”

Pradhan praised PM Modi’s unwavering commitment to public service and nation-first governance, highlighting his adherence to the principle of Antyodaya — prioritizing the welfare of the most marginalized sections of society. He described Modi as a “Pradhan Sevak” whose leadership has become a symbol of public trust and national progress.

The Prime Minister’s tenure began on May 26, 2014, and he is currently serving his third consecutive term, having led the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to three successive Lok Sabha victories. His political journey spans nearly 24 years, including his time as Chief Minister of Gujarat from 2001 to 2014.

With this milestone, PM Modi now trails only Jawaharlal Nehru, India’s first Prime Minister, who served for 6,130 days. The achievement underscores Modi’s enduring popularity and his transformative impact on governance, infrastructure, digital innovation, and global diplomacy.
