Members of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) said the prime minister is a "tireless karmayogi" during the events [3]. The gathering in the capital was a show of strength for the NDA as they reflected on the duration of their leadership [3].
Modi's streak of 4,399 days [1] establishes a new benchmark for elected leadership in the republic. The NDA used the occasion to highlight the stability, and continuity of their policy implementation over the last 12 years [2].
