He said the prime minister had guided the country through complex global challenges while enhancing India's standing on the world stage.
Adhikari also highlighted PM Modi's governance philosophy of "Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas", and said the focus on "Antyodaya" had helped ensure that the benefits of development reached the last person in society.
Terming the achievement a reflection of the people's mandate, Adhikari said the milestone would strengthen the country's march towards a prosperous and self-reliant India.
Later, Adhikari also offered prayers at the New Town Ram Mandir.
