New Delhi, June 10: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has officially become India’s longest-serving Prime Minister. He has completed 12 years in office as the head of the central government.
PM Modi has broken the record of former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, serving 4,399 days as an elected Prime Minister. This comparison is based on Nehru’s term, which began in 1952, as he was the head of the interim government from 1947 to 1952 before the first general elections.
While former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi served for over 14 years, her tenure was not continuous. Thus, PM Modi is now recognized as the longest-serving elected Prime Minister in India’s history. He first took the oath in 2014, secured a second consecutive mandate in 2019, and achieved a historic third consecutive term in 2024.
Under PM Modi’s leadership, numerous significant infrastructure and nation-building projects have been initiated. These include the new Parliament building, the redevelopment of Central Vista, Kartavya Path, Vande Bharat trains, the Statue of Unity, INS Vikrant, the Kashmir rail link, Noida International Airport, the Nammo Bharat RRTS, and the Ganga Expressway.
Meanwhile, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) will hold an important meeting in the capital on Wednesday. This gathering is to celebrate the NDA government’s 12 years in power and PM Modi’s achievement as the longest-serving elected Prime Minister.
The meeting, set to take place at Bharat Mandapam, is expected to include PM Modi, top BJP leaders, Chief Ministers and Deputy Chief Ministers from all 22 NDA-ruled states and Union Territories, as well as leaders from allied parties.
Sources indicate that the NDA may pass a resolution congratulating PM Modi for this historic achievement of surpassing Nehru’s record. Senior ministers from the central government and other key NDA leaders, including Rajnath Singh, Amit Shah, BJP President Nitin Nabin, and Shivraj Singh Chouhan, are anticipated to attend.
This meeting marks the completion of 12 years of the NDA government and is expected to focus on the coalition’s achievements, future policy priorities, and political roadmap. Discussions are likely to revolve around governance initiatives, development programs, and preparations for upcoming electoral challenges.
