NEW DELHI: PM Modi on Friday broke his own record for the longest-ever I-Day speech, speaking for 103 minutes in his address to the nation. He spoke for 98 minutes last year.
Modi had first broken the record in 2015 with an 88-minute speech. In 1947, then PM Jawaharlal Nehru's first I-Day speech had lasted 72 minutes.
Modi reached another milestone Friday, going past Indira Gandhi's tally by delivering his 12th consecutive speech from Red Fort. Nehru holds the overall record, having delivered 17 I-Day speeches in a row.
