Nitish hails Modi’s record tenure, BJP holds special prayers

Patna: Former CM and JD(U) chief Nitish Kumar congratulated PM Narendra Modi on Wednesday while BJP ministers, legislators and workers in Bihar organised various religious events to mark the completion of 12 years of the Modi govt at the Centre.

Special prayers were offered for PM Modi at different places. Bihar BJP said the people of the state offered prayers across various districts to mark PM Modi’s historic 4,399-day tenure, wishing him good health and a long life, and praying for the nation’s continued progress.

“Heartfelt congratulations and best wishes to the respected Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, on becoming India’s longest-serving PM with an uninterrupted tenure. This is a historic occasion. Under your leadership, the country has achieved numerous significant milestones in the realms of development, good governance, and public welfare. India’s global stature has also steadily risen. Through our collaborative efforts within the NDA alliance, various public welfare and development initiatives in Bihar have gained momentum. It has been a positive experience,” Nitish posted on X.

“…Although personal commitments prevent me from being present in person to convey my greetings on this special occasion, my heartfelt best wishes are with you. I pray for your good health and long life. I am confident that under your leadership, the nation will continue to march forward on the path of development,” Nitish added.

Ministers Vijay Kumar Sinha, Nitish Mishra, Lakhendra Paswan, Mithilesh Tiwari and many other BJP functionaries visited temples to offer prayers for PM Modi’s long life. Agriculture minister Vijay Kumar Sinha said the defining element of the PM’s work style is his spirit of public service. “He has established power not merely as a means of authority, but as a medium for service. Through humility, unwavering dedication, and a strong sense of duty, PM Modi has not only created a new history of public trust but has also set an example of ‘politics based on sound policy’ that is being appreciated across the globe,” Sinha said.
