In 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi set a historic milestone by delivering his 12th consecutive Independence Day address from the Red Fort. This achievement allowed him to surpass Indira Gandhi’s record of 11 consecutive speeches, making him the second-longest continuous speaker after Jawaharlal Nehru, who holds the record with 17. Modi’s streak began in 2014 and has continued uninterrupted for 12 years, reflecting both his political dominance and electoral success across three Lok Sabha terms. The Independence Day address is a significant tradition, where the Prime Minister outlines national priorities, achievements, and future goals to the people of India.
