Modi marks 25 years as head of government with temple visit and service pledge
The Prime Minister offered prayers at a Delhi temple to commemorate a quarter-century leading government, first in Gujarat and then nationally.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday marked 25 years as a head of government by visiting Shri Vinayaka Temple in Delhi, where he offered prayers and renewed his commitment to public service.
Modi was first sworn in as Chief Minister of Gujarat on October 7, 2001, a post he held until May 2014, when he assumed office as Prime Minister of India. The temple visit served as a moment of personal reflection on the milestone.
The occasion underlines a political career spanning more than two decades at the helm of government, from leading India's most industrialised states to guiding the world's most populous nation. By marking the anniversary with a religious observance rather than a formal ceremony, Modi chose a characteristically personal and symbolic way to acknowledge the landmark.
