Prime Minister Narendra Modi become India’s second non congress longest serving Prime Minister in a single uninterrupted term after Indira Gandhi

July 26, 2025

Prime Minister Narendra Modi achieved a major milestone by surpassing Indira Gandhi’s record of 4,077 consecutive days in office. With this, he became India’s second-longest serving Prime Minister in a single uninterrupted term, solidifying his position in India’s political history.

Indira Gandhi served continuously from January 1966 to March 1977. PM Modi, who first took office on May 26, 2014, crossed this record on July 25, 2025, completing 4,078 days in office. His political journey began in 2001 as Gujarat’s Chief Minister, and he has since led governments at both the state and national levels for nearly 24 years.

Modi is the first non-Congress Prime Minister to serve two full terms with a clear majority in the Lok Sabha. He is also the first post-independence born Prime Minister to hold the office and the longest-serving PM from a non-Hindi-speaking state. He led the BJP to three consecutive general election victories, a record only matched by Jawaharlal Nehru before him.
