Amit Shah Congratulates PM Modi On 23 Years Of Holding Constitutional Posts

As Prime Minister Narendra Modi completed 23 years in public office, the BJP on Monday hailed his journey from Gujarat to the Centre as a "living inspiration", and said the country's progress and global prestige achieved "new dimensions" under his leadership.

Modi took oath as the chief minister of Gujarat for the first time on October 7, 2001, and continued in the post for 13 years before becoming the prime minister in 2014. He assumed charge as the prime minister for the third consecutive term in June this year.

"Today Prime Minister Narendra Modi has completed 23 years in his public life as Chief Minister and Prime Minister. This 23-year long journey of public service is a symbol of the unique dedication of how a person can devote his entire life to the national interest and welfare of people," Union Home Minister Amit Shah said in a post on 'X' in Hindi.
