New Delhi: The Union Cabinet on Wednesday adopted a resolution congratulating Prime Minister Narendra Modi after he became the longest-serving elected Prime Minister in India to hold office continuously. The milestone came as PM Modi completed 4,399 consecutive days in office.

With this achievement, PM Modi moved past the record earlier held by former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, who had served 4,398 consecutive days after India’s first general elections.
PM Modi Highlights Importance of Public Service
Responding to the occasion, PM Modi described public service as the true measure of good governance. Sharing a Sanskrit shloka on X, he spoke about humility, commitment and dedication as essential qualities for earning the trust of citizens.
जनसेवा ही सुशासन की सबसे बड़ी कसौटी है। विनम्रता, समर्पण और कर्तव्यनिष्ठा के साथ निरंतर कार्य करने वाला व्यक्ति ही जनविश्वास अर्जित करता है।
