On the occasion of 70th Independence Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has broken his own record by delivering the longest Independence Day speech by an Indian Prime Minister from the ramparts of Red Fort.Modi was at his usual best while delivering his 3rd Independence Day speech which lasted for 94 minutes. With this address, Modi broke his own record of 86 minute long speech that he had mouthed last year on the same occasion. His first Independence Day speech in 2014 lasted for 65 minutes and the address duration continued to increase since then.
Modi’s senior and the first BJP Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee never spoke beyond 30 minutes during his tenure. Former Congress Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who addressed 10 I-Day speeches during his tenure, had set his longest speech to 50 minutes in 2006. Hence, Modi’s eloquent speeches were quite lengthy in comparison.
During his speech this year, Modi highlighted the achievements of NDA government and also criticized Pakistan for glorifying terrorism. He gave a call to eliminate social discrimination from the society.
