New Delhi, June 10: Senior Congress leader and former Union Minister Karn Singh has congratulated Prime Minister Narendra Modi, commending his achievements. On June 10, 2026, Modi became the longest-serving elected Prime Minister in independent India. On this historic occasion, Karn Singh penned an editorial in a prominent newspaper, describing Modi’s tenure as an unprecedented phase of national development.
In his writing, Karn Singh noted that June 10, 2026, marked a significant moment in India’s democratic journey, as Modi became the longest-serving elected Prime Minister in the country’s history. He referenced his extensive experience alongside leaders like Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi. Singh pointed out that Nehru inherited a wounded civilization, while Modi took charge of a vastly different India, where the population has surged from 340 million to 1.46 billion and the number of voters has increased from 110 million to over 830 million.
Karn Singh praised India’s economic progress under Modi’s leadership. He highlighted that the Modi government has maintained robust economic growth despite challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic, global inflation, and geopolitical tensions. Initiatives like Swachh Bharat, Ujjwala Yojana, rural electrification, housing schemes, solar energy, and food security have positively impacted the lives of millions of impoverished citizens.
Significant advancements have also occurred in education and healthcare. There has been a substantial increase in the number of IITs, AIIMS, and IIMs. Infrastructure development, including highways, airport modernization, railway upgrades, and enhanced digital connectivity, has transformed the country’s landscape.
Discussing the Modi government’s successes in foreign policy, Karn Singh stated that India has emerged as a strong voice on the global stage. India’s leadership role in the Global South has grown. He also cited the construction of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya as a key achievement of the Modi administration.
While acknowledging some controversial decisions, such as demonetization and the abrogation of Article 370, Karn Singh noted that both sides have expressed strong opinions on these matters. However, he commended PM Modi for demonstrating unwavering determination in achieving his goals.
Karn Singh emphasized Modi’s ability to connect directly with the public as his greatest contribution. He remarked, “Narendra Modi has changed the vocabulary of Indian politics. Very few leaders have established such a direct relationship with voters since independence.”
In conclusion, Karn Singh addressed future challenges, including strengthening the federal structure, improving the quality of education, creating jobs for youth, environmental protection, and promoting inclusive development. He expressed hope that the coming years will lead India towards strength, prosperity, knowledge, compassion, and national unity.
