Modi completes 25 years as head of government, BJP holds events
Prime Minister Narendra Modi completed 25 consecutive years as head of government on Wednesday, 7 October 2026. He marked the occasion by offering prayers at Shri Vinayak Mandir in Delhi's Sarojini Nagar. Modi took oath as Gujarat chief minister on 7 October 2001, and after three consecutive Lok Sabha wins, is now serving his third term as Prime Minister. The Union cabinet passed a resolution on Tuesday, 6 October, hailing his tenure and listing achievements including Jan Dhan accounts, UPI, GST, Chandrayaan-3 and the 2016 surgical strikes. Japan's Prime Minister Sana Takachi also sent greetings.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Aaj Tak's coverage leads with celebratory cabinet resolutions and foreign congratulations, framing Modi's tenure as a record of governance achievements and national pride. Prabhat Khabar, while noting the same milestone, devotes proportionally more space to the political journey from Gujarat to Delhi and to opposition protest plans, including an India alliance demonstration in Gaya on 8 October. Where Aaj Tak presents the milestone as an unalloyed success story backed by cabinet and ally praise, Prabhat Khabar's inclusion of a competing event the next day offers readers a counterpoint. The uniform facts are the temple visit, the 25-year timeline and the cabinet resolution.
