Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel launched a media interaction programme on June 12, 2026, to celebrate Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 12-year tenure [1].

The event marks a significant political milestone, as Modi has become the longest-serving elected prime minister in the history of India [2].

Patel inaugurated the multi-day initiative, titled “12 Years of Trust, Development, and Public Welfare,” at the state BJP headquarters in Gandhinagar [1]. The campaign is designed as a statewide media outreach effort to highlight the achievements of the central government during its time in power.

According to the program's objectives, the interactions aim to showcase the progress made across various sectors of public welfare, and national development [1]. The campaign emphasizes the trust established between the administration and the citizenry over the last 12 consecutive years [1].

Modi's tenure is characterized by his status as the first elected leader to reach this specific duration in office [2]. The event in Gandhinagar serves as the primary launch point for a broader series of engagements intended to document and disseminate the impact of the prime minister's policies.

Patel said the initiative is a way to recognize the historic nature of the milestone while engaging with the press to explain the government's trajectory [2]. The program will involve various media segments and public interactions across the state of Gujarat to ensure the message reaches a wide demographic.

“12 Years of Trust, Development, and Public Welfare”

This campaign represents a strategic effort by the BJP to institutionalize the legacy of Narendra Modi's leadership. By framing the 12-year mark as a historic achievement of stability and development, the party is reinforcing the image of the Prime Minister as an indispensable figure in Indian governance ahead of future electoral cycles.
