Modi marks 25 years in elected office with ‘Viksit Bharat’ vow
Prime Minister Narendra Modi marked 25 years in elected office on October 7, thanking 140 crore Indians for their trust and pledging to work for a developed India.
Modi first took oath as Gujarat chief minister on October 7, 2001. He led the state for more than 12 years before becoming Prime Minister in May 2014. He has since won three straight Lok Sabha elections, a feat matched only by Jawaharlal Nehru.
To mark the day, Modi addressed a “Viksit Bharat Sankalp Sabha” and coined the slogan “We Will Do It” for the goal of a developed India by 2047. He also offered prayers at the Shri Vinayak Mandir in Delhi’s Sarojini Nagar.
The Union Cabinet passed a resolution on October 6 honouring the milestone. BJP leaders held events across states under the #25YearsOfSeva theme.
Context: Cabinet colleagues highlighted Gujarat-era schemes such as SWAGAT and Jyotigram rural electrification as models for national programmes.
