New Delhi, Oct 7 (PTI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the residence of former deputy prime minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) stalwart L K Advani and sought his blessings on completing 25 years as a head of government on Wednesday.
Modi has been serving continuously as a head of government — first as the chief minister of Gujarat for three terms and subsequently, as the prime minister of India after winning three Lok Sabha elections — since October 7, 2001.
The prime minister visited Advani’s residence here on completing 25 years as a head of government, official sources said.
In a post on X, the prime minister said, “Met Advani Ji at his residence and sought his blessings. His decades of public service and contribution to our national life have left a lasting imprint. He has played a pivotal role in strengthening India’s progress.”
Earlier, addressing the ‘Viksit Bharat Sankalp Sabha’ to mark a quarter-century as a head of government, Modi coined a slogan — “We Will Do It” — and asserted that India will become a developed country by 2047, but flagged casteist divisions during elections as a major challenge. PTI ACB RC
