Hyderabad : Telangana BJP State President N Ramchander Rao today described 12-year regime of Narendra Modi as “golden rule” who has created a new record by serving as the longest-serving elected Prime Minister in the history of democratic India, as the true testament to the country’s progress.
Addressing a press conference here on the completion of 12 years of governance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he stated that PM Modi has successfully completed 4,399 highest working days as the Prime Minister of the country, creating a new history as the only Indian leader to hold the office for the longest period while being directly elected by the people.
In the history of this country, Prime Minister Narendra Modi stands as the leader who has served the longest as a consecutively elected Prime Minister, he said and reminded that although Jawaharlal Nehru served as Prime Minister for a long duration, he assumed office under the circumstances following independence, But Narendra Modi, who has been directly elected by the people for three consecutive terms, has already completed 12 year.
Rao expressed absolute confidence that for the past 12 years, the BJP’s central government has successfully moved forward with three supreme goals of “Jan Vishwas, Vikas, Jan Kalyan” (People’s Trust, Development, Public Welfare), and with three years still remaining for the current government, it is certain that Narendra Modi will return as the Prime Minister of the country once again.
State BJP chief Rao congratulated Prime Minister Narendra Modi on becoming India’s longest-serving elected Prime Minister. This historic milestone is not merely a reflection of the Prime Minister’s long tenure, but a powerful testament to the trust, faith and aspirations of 140 crore Indians, he said.
He criticized that even though the Congress party ruled the country for a long time after independence, the laws, education system, and administrative structure designed by the British continued unchanged even after they left. He noted that during the UPA-1 and UPA-2 governments that ruled before Modi, the country witnessed numerous scams and severe corruption, which people have not yet forgotten. However, he clarified that the most important achievement of Modi during these twelve years was liberating the country from a colonial mindset. As part of this, old laws like the IPC, CrPC, and the Evidence Act were repealed to introduce new laws like the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) along with the New National Education Policy, Rao explained.

Rao further stated that several reforms were introduced in the judiciary alongside the establishment of commercial courts, and the entire credit for this goes to Narendra Modi. He expressed happiness that with a strong “India First” foreign policy, India’s prestige on the global stage and self-confidence among the youth have been elevated; while there was once a culture of gifting replicas of the Taj Mahal to foreign delegates, today a new India has been unveiled by presenting the Bhagavad Gita as a symbol of Indian culture and spirituality.
Giving details of achievements, he said India has achieved remarkable growth in economics and infrastructure development. He informed that prior to 2014, only about Rs 2 lakh crore was spent on the country’s infrastructure, whereas currently, this expenditure has increased nearly six fold to reach Rs 12.2 lakh crore. Similarly, foreign exchange reserves have also grown massively, he said.
Through the implementation of GST (One Nation – One Market) which simplified the taxation system, GST collections crossed a staggering Rs 22 lakh crore in the 2024-25 financial year. With an increase in the number of honest taxpayers, direct tax collections and government revenue have also seen a massive rise.
He explained that a digital revolution was brought about to reach every citizen through technology. While India ranked 142nd in the Ease of Doing Business rankings in 2014, it has now reached the 63rd position. Under the Pradhan Mantri Gramin Digital Saksharta Abhiyaan, digital literacy was provided to around 6 crore people in rural areas over the past years, and through the BharatNet project, optical fiber connectivity has been provided to 2.14 lakh gram panchayats across the nation.
He expressed happiness that through the Jan Dhan – Aadhaar – Mobile (JAM) trinity, more than Rs. 50 lakh crore has been deposited directly into the bank accounts of the poor under the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system without any middlemen. He also reminded that Modi gave special priority to the development of the Northeastern states, visiting the region as many as 83 times.
He stated that the Modi government is leading the country toward “Atmanirbhar” (self-reliance) in all sectors. Under the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, investments of around Rs 20 lakh crore are being registered by March 2026, creating 12 lakh new jobs for the country’s youth. In the electronics manufacturing sector, production was valued at around Rs 1.9 lakh crore in 2014, which grew sixfold to Rs 11.3 lakh crore by 2024-25. “Development is mission” was only aim of the NDA government led by PM Modi since 2014, he asserted.
