PM Modi's record run: Assessing 12 years of governance and change

As Prime Minister Narendra Modi prepares to surpass Jawaharlal Nehru's record and become India's longest continuously serving democratically elected Prime Minister, this special discussion examines the political, economic and diplomatic legacy of his 12 years in office. From landmark welfare schemes such as Jan Dhan, Ujjwala and Ayushman Bharat to transformative reforms including GST, Article 370 abrogation and the UPI revolution, the programme explores how Modi's leadership has reshaped governance, politics and policymaking. The discussion also traces the BJP's electoral journey after the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, its performance in key states, and the evolution of India's foreign policy under Modi's leadership—from Global South outreach and neighbourhood diplomacy to strategic partnerships across the world. With India looking towards Viksit Bharat 2047, the show analyses the achievements, challenges, power shifts and defining moments that have marked Narendra Modi's unprecedented tenure.
