New Delhi [India], March 23 (HBTV): 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, who served 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 the Prime Minister on the milestone, praising his ‘decades-long dedication, continuous public service, and commitment to development and good governance’.
In a post on X, Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party president Jagan Mohan Reddy wrote, ‘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.’
Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami also congratulated the Prime Minister and hailed his efforts in making the state ‘strong, prosperous, and self-reliant’.
In a post on 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 milestone of 30 million subscribers on YouTube, further strengthening his position as the most-followed world leader on the platform.
Among global leaders, he has the highest number of subscribers on YouTube, significantly ahead of others. The second-highest, former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, has a subscriber base that is only about one-fourth of PM Modi’s.
PM Modi also has more than seven times the number of subscribers compared to US President Donald Trump, highlighting the scale of his global digital outreach.
Earlier, the Prime Minister crossed 100 million followers on Instagram, becoming the first world leader and politician to achieve this milestone on the platform.
