Since 2014 - when Narendra Modi became the prime minister - many world leaders, such as in the US and UK, not to mention Pakistan with an India border, have followed each other in turn.
In fact, PM Modi, at his third consecutive term, is still in the office as the key positions have changed many times in seven key nations — US, UK, Australia, France, Japan, Italy, and Pakistan.
An illustration tale of how the power has been changing hands since 2014 stands before us in the graph posted by Akhilesh Mishra, CEO at BlueKraft Digital Foundation, on X. Now, onto the week's top highlights: US got its new President on Wednesday with Republican Party nominee Donald Trump crossing the poll against Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party candidate, and unprecedented stability in India under PM Modi-just to name a few.
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.".
