PM Modi Completes 25 Years as Head of Government
According to Dhami’s social media post, the puja was organised to mark Modi completing 25 years in public service as the head of a government. Modi first became Chief Minister of Gujarat in October 2001 and later took office as India’s Prime Minister in May 2014.
His journey from leading the Gujarat government to heading the Union government has been a significant part of India’s political landscape. His tenure and policies have drawn both support and criticism from different sections of the political spectrum.
The Haridwar ceremony marked the milestone through a religious observance, with Dhami and his Cabinet colleagues praying for Modi’s continued well-being and for Uttarakhand’s peace, prosperity and development.
