Washington: Senior US Senator John Cornyn congratulated PM Modi by posting directly on X. He clearly wrote, “India has taken a big leap during Modi’s time. India-America friendship is the strongest today.” Cornyn also said that by winning the elections thrice, Modi won the hearts of 140 crore people. Getting continuous trust is no small thing.
What record was created?
On Wednesday, PM Modi completed 4,399 days. That means, from 2014 till today, he has been sitting on the chair without a single day’s leave. With this, he became the elected leader of India who has been the longest-serving PM. Nehru Ji and Indira Gandhi also lived for a long time, but Indira Ji’s tenure was interrupted. Modi’s tenure is going on continuously.
Where has BJP reached in 12 years?
When Modi government came in 2014, BJP was present only in some states. Now the picture has changed. In the last 12 years, the party’s network has spread across the country. Bengal, Bihar, Odisha – where earlier BJP was weak, it is now giving competition. It became a party that fought directly in many elections. The organisation got off the ground.
How will it be celebrated?
All the NDA friends are organising a big felicitation ceremony together. Modi’s colleagues say that his leadership and journey deserve to be celebrated. He will be honoured in that.
Why did relations with America come in the way?
Cornyn’s tweet came at a time when talks are going on about the India-US trade deal. Both the countries together want to further strengthen the trade and security partnership. In the last months, many meetings of officials were held on trade, investment, market access. The objective is clear – reduce tax barriers and increase business.
What did Trump say?
Trump was also not left behind. He told the open forum, “Modi is my good friend. We are very close to the trade deal.” Experts are saying that if India-America friendship grows like this, then there will be benefits in all three areas – technology, business and security. Overall, this is not just Modi’s record. This is a new chapter in Indian politics. And the world is also watching it carefully.
