PM Modi's 20 years in office & 'Seva Samarpan' programs

It is worth mentioning that BJP has marked the 20-year journey of PM Modi with 'Seva Samarpan' programs across the country. In Tamil Nadu, the party workers cleaned the streets and also distributed free food to the needy. They even sent postcards to the Prime Minister to congratulate him for serving the nation for this long. PM Modi, who has completed today 20 years in public office, has become the longest-serving head of an elected government after former Prime Ministers Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi.

Earlier today, PM Modi expressed his gratitude to people as he was given the opportunity to serve as Gujarat Chief Minister and later as India's Prime Minister. He recalled that his journey in service began long before his CM terms, referring to his journey in the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).

"On this day, 20 years ago, I got a new responsibility to serve the public. My journey of serving the people, living among the people was going on for many decades ago. But 20 years ago, I got a new responsibility as the Chief Minister of Gujarat. As the head of the government, first as Chief Minister and then Prime Minister of the country. I had never imagined that I could reach the post of PM," said PM Modi.
