The Union Cabinet on Tuesday adopted a resolution congratulating Prime Minister Narendra Modi on completing 25 years as the head of a government, first as Gujarat chief minister and later as prime minister, highlighting his leadership in welfare, reforms, infrastructure, technology, national security and foreign policy.
The Cabinet also gave Modi a standing ovation, Information and Broadcasting Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said at the cabinet briefing.
“PM Modi has created a history which is unique to any democratic country. The resolution listed GST , welfare delivery reforms and replacement of several colonial-era laws among major reforms. “From October 7, 2001 to October 7, 2026, the PM completes 25 years as the head of government – as chief minister of Gujarat and then the Prime Minister of India. The grievance tracking portal, which received the United Nations Public Service Award in 2010, later inspired PRAGATI, bringing governments together to review stalled projects, resolve obstacles and accelerate completion. It said public capital expenditure rose from around ₹ 2 lakh crore to more than ₹ 12 lakh crore, while highway expansion, railway electrification and electronics production also increased. The resolution also highlighted UPI, Jan Dhan , Aadhaar, India’s Covid-19 vaccine programme and Chandrayaan-3, along with India’s role in the G20, BRICS and the Global South. It said these initiatives formed part of Modi’s vision of a prosperous, self-reliant and developed India by 2047.
There are few countries where people have voted for the same person again and again,” Vaishnaw said. A statement listing the highlights of the resolution said Modi’s “extraordinary journey” was guided by the principle of “Nation First and Citizen First”. It cited three mandates in Gujarat and three successive Lok Sabha victories as reflecting the public’s “enduring trust”. Jyotigram scheme’s separate agricultural electricity feeders similarly extended Gujarat’s experience across India, Vaishnaw said.
