Seven major nations witness leadership changes since 2014; PM Modi still at helm
A
total of seven major countries across the globe, including the US and UK, as well as the neighbouring nation of Pakistan have witnessed several leadership changes since 2014 -- the year Prime Minister Narendra Modi came to power.
Interestingly, PM Modi, now in his third consecutive term, still holds office even as the top seats have been replaced many times in the seven key nations -- US, UK, Australia, France, Japan, Italy, and Pakistan.
A graph shared on X by Akhilesh Mishra, CEO at BlueKraft Digital Foundation, presents an illustrative tale of how power has shifted to different hands since 2014, which Mishra described as "Unprecedented stability in India under PM Modi". Notably, the US got its new President on Wednesday, as Republican Party nominee Donald Trump emerged victorious in the presidential polls by defeating Kamala Harris (Democratic Party).
Lauding PM Modi's leadership despite power from other world leaders changing hands in seven major countries, Mishra in a post on X said: A testament to PM Modi's supremely rooted politics and India-First approach as well as the sagacity of Indian voters to stick to the once-in-a-century, turnaround leader."
