Congress criticises Modi’s record as India’s longest‑serving prime minister, cites Nehru legacy, Mint reports

Mint reports that India’s Congress party has launched a sharp attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The criticism focuses on Modi’s claim of being the country’s longest‑serving prime minister. Congress members invoked the legacy of Jawaharlal Nehru to challenge the claim. They described the milestone as “dubiously invented.” The party argues that the record overlooks earlier long‑serving leaders. Critics say the rhetoric aims to question Modi’s historical standing. The debate is playing out ahead of upcoming parliamentary sessions. Observers will watch how the controversy influences public opinion.
