Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday took to social media to express his heartfelt gratitude on completing 23 years as the head of a government.

In a post on X, Modi, 74, spoke about his journey, which began on October 7, 2001, when he first assumed office as the Chief Minister of Gujarat.

His message acknowledged the support and blessings that the Prime Minister has received over the years and emphasized the pivotal role his party, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), played in entrusting him with leadership.

“A heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has sent their blessings and good wishes as I complete 23 years as the head of a government. It was on October 7, 2001, that I took on the responsibility of serving as the Chief Minister of Gujarat. It was the greatness of my Party, @BJP4India, to task a humble Karyakarta like me with the responsibility of heading the state administration,” PM Modi said.

Modi’s political career gained prominence when he became the Chief Minister of Gujarat in 2001, a role he held until 2014. During his tenure in Gujarat, he was lauded for his governance model, focusing on economic development, infrastructure, and industrial growth.

“When I assumed office as CM, Gujarat was facing numerous challenges – the 2001 Kutch Earthquake, before that a Super Cyclone, a massive drought, and the legacy of many decades of Congress misrule like loot, communalism, and casteism,” Modi wrote.

“Powered by Jana Shakti, we rebuilt Gujarat and propelled it to new heights of progress, even in a sector like agriculture, for which the state was not traditionally known.”

During his 13-year tenure as Chief Minister, Modi highlighted how Gujarat emerged as a model of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas,’ ensuring prosperity for all sections of society.

In 2014, Modi was elected as Prime Minister with a historic mandate, securing a full majority for the BJP for the first time in 30 years. Reflecting on his decade as Prime Minister, he emphasized key milestones.

PM Modi said in his post, “Over 25 crore people have been freed from the clutches of poverty. India has become the fifth largest economy and this has particularly helped our MSMEs, StartUps sector, and more.”

The top BJP leader also highlighted progress in empowering farmers, women, youth, and marginalized sections of society, along with India’s increasing global prominence.

“India’s developmental strides have ensured that our country is being viewed with utmost optimism globally. The world is keen to engage with us, invest in our people, and be a part of our success.”

He reaffirmed India’s commitment to tackling global challenges such as climate change, healthcare, and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). While acknowledging the achievements of the past two decades, Modi stressed that much more remains to be done.

“I assure my fellow Indians that I will keep working tirelessly, with even more vigour in service of the people. I will not rest till our collective goal of a Viksit Bharat is realised,” he said.
