ONE HOUR, FORTY THREE MINUTES: PM'S LONGEST ADDRESS YET

From the iconic Red Fort on the 79th Independence Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered one of his most forward-looking speeches, outlining a series of strategic commitments that he said would anchor India's transformation into a Viksit Bharat (developed nation) by the centenary of independence in 2047.

Marking his 12th Independence Day address—the most by any Indian Prime Minister—the 105-minute speech, his longest from this platform, laid out concrete deliverables with measurable timelines and long-term structural impact.
