At a meeting in New Delhi, NDA clears a resolution reaffirming faith in Modi’s leadership
NARENDRA Modi on Wednesday became India’s longest-serving democratically elected prime minister, completing 4,399 days in office and surpassing the record held by India’s first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru.
Marking the milestone, PM Modi said a resolution passed by NDA leaders in his honour was “not a personal achievement” but a reflection of the alliance’s collective efforts. Emphasising the government’s economic record, he said India had registered a growth rate of 7.7% in 2025-26 and 7.8% in the quarter ending March 31 despite a global slowdown.
Leaders of the NDA, meeting in New Delhi, passed a resolution reaffirming their faith in Modi’s leadership. The resolution, moved by Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu and seconded by Nagaland CM Neiphiu Rio, received support from several leaders, including Jitan Ram Manjhi, H D Kumaraswamy, Eknath Shinde, Chirag Paswan, Jayant Chaudhary, Vishnu Deo Sai, Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Anupriya Patel.
