Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday achieved a historic milestone by becoming India’s longest-serving elected Prime Minister serving consecutive terms, completing 4,399 days in office. To commemorate the achievement, the Union Cabinet adopted a resolution praising his leadership and contributions to the nation’s development over the past 12 years.
Cabinet members congratulated the Prime Minister with a standing ovation, recognizing the significance of the moment in India’s political history. With this milestone, PM Modi surpassed the record held by India’s first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, whose elected tenure from 1952 onwards had remained unmatched for decades.
The comparison excludes Nehru’s leadership of the interim government between 1947 and 1952, considering only the period following India’s first general elections. While former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi served for more than 14 years in total, her tenure was interrupted, making Narendra Modi the longest continuously serving elected Prime Minister in independent India’s history.
Since first taking office in May 2014, PM Modi has secured electoral victories in 2019 and 2024, becoming the first Prime Minister after Nehru to win three consecutive Lok Sabha elections. His administration has focused on economic reforms, infrastructure development, digital governance, welfare schemes, and national security initiatives.
The Modi government’s tenure has witnessed the completion and launch of several landmark projects, including the new Parliament building, Central Vista redevelopment, Kartavya Path, Vande Bharat trains, the Statue of Unity, INS Vikrant, the Kashmir rail link project, Noida International Airport, Namo Bharat Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS), and the Ganga Expressway.
To celebrate the completion of 12 years of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government, a major meeting is scheduled at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi. The event is expected to be attended by Prime Minister Modi, senior BJP leaders, chief ministers and deputy chief ministers from NDA-ruled states and Union Territories, along with leaders of alliance partners.
According to sources, the NDA is expected to adopt a separate resolution congratulating PM Modi on surpassing Jawaharlal Nehru’s record. Discussions during the meeting are also likely to focus on governance achievements, future policy priorities, development programmes, and preparations for upcoming electoral challenges.
Senior Union ministers including Rajnath Singh, Amit Shah, J.P. Nadda, and Shivraj Singh Chouhan are expected to participate in the celebrations marking both the government’s 12-year journey and the Prime Minister’s historic achievement.
