BJP Jammu and Kashmir spokesman Altaf Thakur hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for becoming India’s longest-serving elected Prime Minister, calling it a historic milestone in the country’s democratic journey and a reflection of the people’s immense trust in his leadership.
In a statement, Thakur said Prime Minister Modi, who first took oath on May 26, 2014, has emerged as one of the most influential global leaders of the modern era and elevated India’s stature worldwide through decisive governance, bold diplomacy and a clear developmental vision.
He said that while India’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru served from August 15, 1947, to May 27, 1964, Modi’s uninterrupted democratic mandate since 2014 symbolises the faith of 140 crore Indians in his leadership, honesty and commitment towards nation-building.
“Prime Minister Modi has transformed India from a country once viewed merely as a regional power into a decisive and respected global voice whose opinion matters in every major international forum,” Thakur said.
He added that Modi’s foreign policy has strengthened India diplomatically and positioned the country as a key player in global discussions on security, economy, climate action, technology and humanitarian cooperation.
“Whether it is India’s leadership during global crises, evacuation missions for Indian citizens abroad, strengthening ties with Gulf nations, deepening strategic partnerships with world powers or enhancing India’s influence in international institutions, Modi Ji has given Indian diplomacy a new confidence, direction and credibility,” he said.
Referring to tensions in West Asia involving Iran, the United States and Israel, along with concerns over instability around the Strait of Hormuz, Thakur said the Prime Minister has shown exceptional statesmanship by safeguarding India’s strategic and economic interests amid volatile global conditions.
“At a time when many economies are facing uncertainty due to geopolitical tensions and disruptions in global energy routes, India under Modi Ji has demonstrated remarkable resilience and stability,” he said.
Thakur further said Modi’s leadership has strengthened India’s image as a trusted global partner capable of maintaining balanced relations with nations across different blocs without compromising national interests.
The BJP spokesman also praised the Prime Minister’s development initiatives, saying the last decade witnessed unprecedented transformation in infrastructure, governance and public welfare.
“From highways, expressways, rail corridors, tunnels and airports to welfare schemes for the poor, farmers, youth and women, every sector has witnessed rapid development under Modi Ji’s leadership,” he said.
He added that Jammu and Kashmir has also witnessed a new era of development and connectivity under Prime Minister Modi, with major investments in infrastructure, tourism, healthcare, education and public welfare.
“Prime Minister Modi’s leadership has infused a new sense of confidence, national pride and optimism among the people. His dedication and commitment towards making India a strong and developed nation will continue to inspire generations,” Thakur added.(KINS)
