Prime Minister Narendra Modi Set to Break Nehru's Record as Longest-Serving PM in India On June 10, 2026, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to become the longest-serving leader in India’s history, surpassing the record held by Jawaharlal Nehru. This milestone marks Modi’s 12th year in office, during which he has maintained a continuous tenure since his 2014 election. His 4399 days in power will surpass Nehru’s 4398 days, which he held from 1952 to 1964. Modi’s achievement also eclipses Indira Gandhi’s record of 4077 days, which spanned her two non-consecutive tenures in the 1960s and 1980s. Modi’s tenure began on May 26, 2014, when he took office as India’s 14th prime minister. His first full term ended in 2019, followed by a second term in 2024, making him the first non-Congress leader to complete two full terms with a majority. He is also the first leader after Nehru to secure three consecutive general elections, a feat achieved in 2014, 2019, and 2024. Nehru, who led India from 1952 to 1964, was the only leader to win three elections during the dominance of the Indian National Congress. Modi’s record is further highlighted by his global engagement. While Nehru addressed three foreign parliaments during his tenure, Modi has spoken at 19 international legislative bodies, reflecting India’s expanded diplomatic influence. His leadership has also been tested by global challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical tensions, and economic fluctuations. His policies have been praised for maintaining stability during these crises, earning recognition both domestically and internationally. A key aspect of Modi’s legacy is his focus on inclusive development.#india #indian_national_congress #prime_minister_narendra_modis #jawaharlal_nehrus #global_honors
