PM Narendra Modi has achieved the milestone of being the longest-serving elected Prime Minister in India, completing 4,399 days in office as of June 10. He took the oath of office on May 26, 2014, and has been serving continuously since then. This surpasses the previous record held by Jawaharlal Nehru, who served 4,398 days as Prime Minister.
The distinction between 'continuous tenure' and 'total tenure' was highlighted, with Modi's uninterrupted service since 2014 qualifying as continuous tenure. In contrast, Nehru's tenure included both appointed and elected periods, with his elected tenure starting from May 13, 1952.
To commemorate this achievement, an NDA parliamentary meeting is scheduled in Delhi. Leaders from NDA-ruled states, including Chief Ministers, Deputy Chief Ministers, BJP leadership, and allied party representatives, will attend. The meeting will include discussions on the 'Developed India-2047' roadmap, coordination between central and state governments, development projects, and initiatives to improve 'Ease of Living' and 'Ease of Doing Business.'
Modi's tenure has also seen him receive 31 international honors, including Saudi Arabia's 'Order of King Abdulaziz' and Norway's 'Grand Cross of Royal Norwegian Order of Merit.' Additionally, he has addressed parliaments in 15 countries and undertaken 100 foreign trips since 2014.
