Prime Minister Narendra Modi marked 25 years as head of government by offering prayers at Delhi’s Shri Vinayaka Temple and renewing his commitment to public service. He began as Gujarat CM in 2001 before becoming PM in 2014.
On Wednesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the Shri Vinayaka Temple in Sarojini Nagar, New Delhi, to celebrate 25 years of continuous service as head of government. In a post on X in Hindi, he prayed to Lord Shri Ganesha for the well-being and prosperity of his family and the nation. Modi's tenure as head of government began on October 7, 2001, when he became the chief minister of Gujarat.
He assumed the role of prime minister in May 2014 and has retained the position, winning three successive Lok Sabha elections. The Union Cabinet passed a resolution on Tuesday, congratulating Modi on his milestone, while Information and Broadcasting Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw highlighted the significance of his long service as a reflection of the public's trust and Indian democracy's ability to elevate a person from a modest background to the highest office.
