Prime Minister Narendra Modi said people have seen the power of a stable government while marking 12 years [1] of his administration.
The milestone highlights the longevity of the current leadership and its impact on India's political landscape. By emphasizing stability, the Prime Minister sought to link the government's duration to its ability to implement large-scale welfare, and infrastructure projects.
Modi said during a meeting of National Democratic Alliance (NDA) leaders in New Delhi on May 26, 2026 [2]. The gathering served as a platform to review the achievements of the government since it first assumed office.
"People have seen the power of a stable government," Modi said [3].
The administration first took power on May 26, 2014 [4]. Over the last 12 years [1], the BJP-led coalition has focused on a push for welfare, and a rise in global influence. Union ministers and NDA leaders said the leadership of the Prime Minister described the period as a journey from resolve to achievement [2].
Supporters of the administration pointed to the consistency of policy implementation as a primary benefit of the current tenure. The government has utilized this stability to push through various schemes intended to transform the lives of millions of ordinary citizens [5].
While the anniversary was marked on May 26, reports on the specific day of the week varied between Monday and Tuesday [6]. Regardless of the calendar day, the event centered on the Prime Minister's assertion that a steady hand at the center of power is essential for national progress.
“"People have seen the power of a stable government."”
The emphasis on a 'stable government' serves as a political contrast to previous eras of coalition instability in India. By anchoring the 12-year mark to specific welfare outcomes and global standing, the administration is framing political longevity not just as a result of electoral success, but as a prerequisite for effective governance and economic transformation.
