Cabinet congratulates PM Modi on 25 years of unbroken leadership

The Union Cabinet on Tuesday passed a resolution congratulating Prime Minister Narendra Modi on completing 25 years of continuous leadership as head of government, highlighting his record in development, welfare, economic reform, national security and diplomacy. The resolution traced the links between PM Modi’s leadership in Gujarat and his tenure as Prime Minister, describing “Nation First” and “Citizen First” as guiding principles. It said three electoral mandates in Gujarat and support in three successive Lok Sabha elections reflected the public’s enduring trust in his leadership.
Among the initiatives carried from Gujarat to the national level, the Cabinet highlighted SWAGAT, through which PM Modi personally heard citizens’ grievances. The programme received the United Nations Public Service Award in 2010 and later inspired PRAGATI, a platform bringing governments together to review stalled projects, resolve obstacles and accelerate completion. The resolution also cited Gujarat’s Jyotigram initiative, which introduced separate agricultural electricity feeders, as an approach subsequently extended nationally.
The resolution praised PM Modi’s commitment to reforms despite political risks, citing GST, changes in welfare delivery and the replacement of colonial laws. It said his appeals on cleanliness, digital payments and local products had encouraged citizens to participate in these changes.Technology featured prominently in the resolution. It cited the use of Jan Dhan accounts, Aadhaar and mobile connectivity to improve welfare delivery, as well as UPI’s role in transforming payments.
On national security, the resolution cited the 2016 surgical strikes, the 2019 Balakot air strikes and Operation Sindoor in 2025 as examples of the security red lines established under his leadership. It also highlighted the removal of Article 370, implementation of One Rank One Pension, creation of the Chief of Defence Staff’s post, action against Maoist terrorism and peace efforts in the Northeast. The Cabinet linked India’s growing international standing to PM Modi’s diplomatic engagement, citing consensus-building at the G20 and BRICS, advocacy for the Global South and the African Union’s inclusion in the G20.

The Union Cabinet today passed a resolution congratulating Hon'ble PM Shri @narendramodi ji on completing 25 years of continuous leadership as Head of Government. It marks a defining milestone in a journey shaped by the unwavering principles of ‘Nation First’ and ‘Citizen First’. #CabinetDecisions
