Union Residence Minister Amit Shah has credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi with reshaping India’s overseas coverage and strengthening its international standing. Shah drew comparisons between Modi’s tenure and that of his predecessors, together with India’s first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru.

Talking to NDTV, Shah asserted that historical past will choose Modi’s period extra favourably when in comparison with earlier leaders. “When historians would examine the period of Modi with different Prime Ministers, the end result will probably be in PM Modi’s favour,” Shah remarked when requested to check PM Modi’s tenure to Nehru.

Nehru served as Prime Minister for greater than 16 years, the longest uninterrupted tenure up to now. Modi, now in his third consecutive time period, has been in workplace for over 11 years, making him the second-longest serving Prime Minister in steady service. Previous to that, he was Gujarat’s Chief Minister from October 2001 to Might 2014, the longest-serving in that function as effectively.

Narendra Modi Gave ‘Spine’ to International Coverage: Shah

Shah strongly argued that Modi introduced decisiveness to India’s diplomatic method. “Within the overseas coverage of India, after finding out it extensively, I’ve reached a call that there was an absence of spine within the overseas coverage of India. Narendra Modi has finished the work of including the spine to the overseas coverage of India,” Shah informed NDTV.

Having identified Modi for over 4 a long time, Shah added, “I’ve seen him very carefully. His greatest high quality has been that he can mould himself efficiently in each function. He has been profitable in finishing up all his duties. It is a nice high quality.”

Shah Highlights Landmark Selections in a Decade

Highlighting the federal government’s efficiency, Shah listed key reforms beneath Modi’s management. “25 crore folks have come out of poverty in a decade… the nation’s financial system has climbed from eleventh to 4th place. Article 370, Ram Mandir, Triple Talaq, clarifying the definition of citizenship of the nation, growing the respect of the Indian passport all through the nation, all this has been finished in only a decade,” he stated.

He pointed to the revocation of Article 370, the criminalisation of Triple Talaq, and the development of the Ram Mandir amongst measures which have outlined the federal government’s first ten years in energy.

PM Modi at 75

Prime Minister Modi turned 75 on September 17. To mark the milestone, the BJP launched a ‘Sewa Pakhwada’ marketing campaign that can run until October 2. As a part of the initiative, BJP-led governments on the Centre and within the states are organising outreach drives, well being camps, cleanliness programmes, mental meets, and gala’s to advertise indigenous merchandise.

Modi was first elected Prime Minister in 2014, secured a second time period in 2019, and took oath for a 3rd time period in 2024.
