Modi becomes second-longest serving PM in unbroken stint
The New Indian Express Kochi
|July 26, 2025
PRIME Minister Narendra Modi has become India's second-longest-serving prime minister in consecutive terms, completing 4,078 uninterrupted days in office, surpassing the 4,077-day tenure of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi from January 1966 to March 1977.
Modi, 74, first assumed office on May 26, 2014, and was sworn in for a third consecutive term in June 2024 following the general elections. He is the first Indian prime minister to be born after Independence and remains the longest-serving leader from a non-Congress party in the country's political history.
Only India's first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, has served a longer uninterrupted term—lasting 16 years and 286 days (5,783 days)—from August 15, 1947, to May 27, 1964.
