Amaravati, June 10 (IANS) Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan on Wednesday said India today stands stronger and more prosperous than before, as he congratulated Prime Minister Narendra Modi for becoming the longest-serving Prime Minister in office.

The Jana Sena leader on Wednesday congratulated Prime Minister Narendra Modi on becoming the longest-serving Prime Minister. He called it 4,399 days of selfless service and 12 years of transformative leadership.

“Twelve years ago, Bharat chose decisive leadership. Today, Bharat stands stronger, safer, more prosperous, and more confident than ever before. Under Modi Ji’s exemplary leadership, the NDA Government has strengthened national security, modernized our armed forces, emerged as a leading global economy, successfully hosted the G20, amplified the voice of the Global South, and earned respect across the world through decisive and visionary leadership,” the actor-politician posted on ‘X’.

According to the Deputy CM, from the Digital India revolution, Jan Dhan-Aadhaar-Mobile integration, UPI and Direct Benefit Transfers to Ayushman Bharat, PM Awas Yojana, Jal Jeevan Mission, world-class highways, railways, airports, ports, and Vande Bharat trains, the scale of transformation has been unprecedented.

Pawan Kalyan also thanked PM Modi for his continued support towards the inclusive development of Andhra Pradesh. “As we work towards building a $2.4 trillion economy under Swarna Andhra 2047, Andhra Pradesh is proud to be a strong partner in realizing the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047.”
