At 75, Prime Minister Narendra Modi offered a glimpse into how he views the years ahead. During Pariksha Pe Charcha 2026, Modi recalled a leader calling him on his September 17 birthday and saying, “You have turned 75.” His response: “No, 25 are still left.” He told students not to dwell on what has passed, but focus on what remains. The remark comes as Modi’s third term faces domestic, economic and geopolitical challenges, alongside changing ways of engaging with younger audiences. From Twitter-era political communication to today’s Instagram-driven digital culture, Modi’s public outreach has continued to evolve, as his “25 still left” remark draws attention.
