Businessman Nathwani lauds PM Modi's quarter-century in public service

Dheeraj Nathwani, a prominent business figure, shared a post on social media highlighting Prime Minister Narendra Modi's milestone of 25 years in executive leadership. Nathwani's tribute comes as Modi marks a quarter-century since taking oath as Chief Minister of Gujarat in 2001, subsequently leading the country as Prime Minister.

In his social media post, Nathwani described Modi's tenure as "outstanding," underscoring what he characterized as remarkable achievements across the extended period of public service. The businessman's remarks reflected appreciation for Modi's trajectory through various administrative positions over the past two-and-a-half decades.

The praise has drawn scrutiny from opposition quarters, with the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) raising questions about the public endorsement. The reaction highlights the polarized political environment surrounding Modi's leadership record and tenure in both state and national government roles.

Modi's 25-year span in public administration encompasses his long tenure as Gujarat's Chief Minister followed by his premiership since 2014, a period that has remained contentious among political observers and opposition parties.
