PM Narendra Modi Becomes Indias Second Longest Serving Prime Minister, Surpassing Indira Gandhis Record

A day after signing the landmark India–UK Free Trade Agreement in London, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday made history once again by becoming the second-longest consecutively serving Prime Minister in India’s history, surpassing Indira Gandhi’s uninterrupted tenure of 4,077 days.

While Jawaharlal Nehru, the country’s first Prime Minister, remains India’s longest-serving PM with a total of 6,130 days in office, Modi’s achievement is nonetheless significant.

With 4,078 days in office, Modi has reached a major milestone in a political career spanning nearly a quarter of a century — 24 years at the helm of democratically elected governments at both state and national levels.
