BJP leaders on Wednesday heaped praise on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his leadership as he entered his 20th year without a break as the head of an elected government, including close to 13 years as chief minister of Gujarat.Members of the Union Cabinet also congratulated the prime minister.
Party president J P Nadda said October 7, 2001, when Modi was sworn in as Gujarat chief minister for the first time, is a "milestone" in India's political history.
भारत के राजनीतिक इतिहास में 7 अक्तूबर, 2001 की तारीख एक मील का पत्थर है, जब मोदी जी ने पहली बार गुजरात के मुख्यमंत्री के रूप में शपथ ली थी। तब से, हर बार पिछली जीत से बड़ी जीत, पिछले समर्थन से बड़ा समर्थन, लोकप्रियता का बढ़ता पायदान। #20thYearOfNaMo

Modi, who turned 70 last month, started as a volunteer of the RSS and then served in the BJP's organisation for many years before the party leadership sent him to Gujarat, his home state, as its chief minister in 2001.
Since then, he has never tasted electoral defeat and led the BJP to power in the state three straight times before steering the party to its biggest, until then, Lok Sabha poll win in 2014 and then scripting an even bigger win in the 2019 general elections.
Briefing reporters on the decisions taken by the Union Cabinet on Wednesday, Union minister Prakash Javadekar said as soon as the meeting of the Union Cabinet began this morning, ministers congratulated Modi.
He said the prime minister has brought reforms in governance and major sectors.
The prime minister, Javadekar said, has given a government free of corruption and has completed various projects that had been languishing for many years.
He said the prime minister was also congratulated for the way he has raised the standards of living of the poor and the deprived.
"That is a noteworthy work he has done," the Union minister said.
