This surpassed the record of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, who served as an elected Prime Minister for 4,398 days from May 1952 to May 27, 1964. The milestone coincided with the Modi government completing 12 full years in office at the Centre. Modi secured this historic achievement across three back-to-back electoral victories in the 2014, 2019, and 2024 general elections, making him the first non-Congress Prime Minister to win three consecutive terms. The record is specifically measured from the point that a Prime Minister held office on the basis of a democratic electoral mandate - which is why Nehru's tenure is counted from May 1952 rather than August 1947.
