Prime Minister Narendra Modi has achieved a historic milestone in Indian politics by surpassing former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi to become the second-longest serving Prime Minister in India’s history with an uninterrupted tenure.

On 25th July 2025, Modi completed 4,078 consecutive days in office, overtaking Indira Gandhi’s record of 4,077 days served between 1966 and 1977. This remarkable achievement reflects his continued popularity and ability to lead the nation through challenging times while maintaining a strong political presence.

As of now, Modi enjoys the longest tenure for an elected head of government in India across state and central roles — a testament to his political journey that began as Gujarat’s Chief Minister and now as India’s Prime Minister for over a decade.

This milestone highlights Modi’s role in shaping India’s domestic and international policies over the years, including landmark economic reforms, digital transformation initiatives, welfare programs, and strengthening India’s global standing.

Political analysts note that this achievement also underscores the stability of his leadership and the trust placed in him by millions of Indians. As Modi continues his tenure, he is now second only to Jawaharlal Nehru, India’s first Prime Minister, who holds the record for the longest continuous term in office.
