New Delhi, Oct. 7 -- 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. There are few countries where people have voted for the same person again and again," Vaishnaw said. "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." 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". The resolution lauded how PM Modi carried Gujarat's successful initiatives to the national stage. It cited the example of SWAGAT through which he personally heard citizens' grievances. 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. Jyotigram scheme's separate agricultural electricity feeders similarly extended Gujarat's experience across India, Vaishnaw said. The resolution listed GST and welfare delivery reforms. It said public capital expenditure rose from around Rs.2 lakh crore to more than Rs.12 lakh crore, while highway expansion, railway electrification and electronics production also increased. On national security, it cited the 2016 surgical strikes, 2019 Balakot air strikes and 2025 Operation Sindoor. It also highlighted UPI, Jan Dhan, Aadhaar, India's Covid-19 vaccine programme and Chandrayaan-3. It said these initiatives formed part of Modi's vision of a self-reliant and developed India by 2047....
