US envoy Sergio Gor congratulated Prime Minister Narendra Modi after he became India’s longest-serving elected Prime Minister, describing the milestone as a “powerful testament" to his decades of public service and leadership.

In a message posted on social media, Gor wrote: “Congratulations to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on becoming India’s longest-serving elected Prime Minister. This achievement is a powerful testament to his decades of dedicated public service and leadership! Wishing him all the best!"

PM Narendra Modi, on Wednesday, became India’s longest-serving prime minister, with an unbroken tenure of 4,399 days in office, surpassing the record of first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru.

US Senator John Cornyn, the co-chair of the Senate India Caucus, also greeted PM Modi.

“Congratulations to Prime Minister @narendramodi on becoming India’s longest-serving elected Prime Minister — 4,399 days of leadership earned through the trust of 1.4 billion people across three democratic mandates," Cornyn, the Republican Senator from Texas, said in a post on X.

“From lifting 250 million out of poverty to making India the world’s fastest-growing major economy, PM Modi’s tenure has been nothing short of transformational. The US-India partnership has never been stronger," Cornyn said.
