Narendra Modi Marks 25 Years in Public Service
· India · Hindustan Times, Indian Express, The Hindu
On October 7, Narendra Modi will complete 25 years in public service, having spent 4,495 days as India's longest continuously-serving elected prime minister. His political career began on October 7, 2001, when he was sworn in as the 14th chief minister of Gujarat following a devastating earthquake in Kutch. Appointed by the BJP leadership while serving as national general secretary, he took charge of a state grappling with administrative challenges and drought. The management style established during his first year in Gujarat, focused on strict deadlines and accountability, was later replicated at the national level after the 2014 Lok Sabha polls.
Why it matters
The milestone marks a quarter-century of continuous leadership that transformed the political trajectory of the BJP and governance models across India.
