Modi's political career began on October 7, 2001, when he was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Gujarat, and he has since served three consecutive terms as Prime Minister starting in 2014.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah expressed his congratulations on social media, stating in Hindi, “Heartfelt congratulations to Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji on completing 25 years of dedicated service, marked by hard work and a commitment to putting the nation first.”
Shah reflected on Modi's journey, noting that since taking office in Gujarat, he has been synonymous with the welfare of the underprivileged, women's empowerment, youth upliftment, and overall societal prosperity.
He emphasized that Modi's 25 years of service have transformed governance through a focus on the people, effective policy implementation, decisive actions, transparency, and a commitment to performance-oriented politics.

He highlighted the expansion of welfare initiatives under Modi, which have provided millions with access to essential services like housing, clean water, sanitation, LPG connections, and banking facilities.
