NEW DELHI, Oct 7: Union Home Minister Amit Shah praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday, marking a significant milestone in Modi’s public service journey, which spans 23 years. Shah described this journey as a testament to Modi’s “unique dedication” to the nation, emphasizing how one individual can wholly commit to serving the national interest and the welfare of the people.
As Modi reflects on his extensive career, which began with his first term as Chief Minister of Gujarat in 2001 and transitioned to his role as Prime Minister in 2014, Shah noted that this enduring commitment to public service serves as a source of inspiration for those engaged in politics and governance. “Today, Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji has completed 23 years in public life as Chief Minister and Prime Minister. This 23-year-long journey of public service symbolizes the unique dedication of how a person can devote his entire life to the national interest and welfare of people,” Shah stated in a post on ‘X’, formerly Twitter, highlighting Modi’s contributions in Hindi.

Shah, who has been a steadfast ally of Modi throughout his political career, expressed his gratitude for being able to witness this remarkable journey. He remarked, “Modi has exemplified how to work for the welfare of the poor while simultaneously focusing on the country’s development, security, and enhancing India’s global standing.” Rather than addressing issues in isolation, Shah noted that Modi has offered a holistic vision for tackling the country’s challenges.
In his tribute, Shah congratulated Modi as a “nation builder” dedicated to the service of the nation and its people for 23 uninterrupted years, commending his tireless efforts and selfless approach to leadership. Modi first assumed office as Chief Minister of Gujarat on October 7, 2001, serving for 13 years before becoming Prime Minister. He was sworn in for a third consecutive term in June this year, solidifying his role as a central figure in Indian politics.
Shah’s remarks not only celebrate Modi’s personal achievements but also highlight the broader narrative of dedicated public service, urging others in political life to emulate Modi’s commitment to the nation and its citizens.
