Narendra Modi becomes India’s longest‑serving elected Prime Minister

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has broken a historic benchmark in Indian politics. He is now the longest‑serving elected Prime Minister since independence. The milestone was highlighted in a broadcast by Akashvani News. Modi first assumed office in May 2014 and secured a second term in 2019. His tenure now exceeds that of previous record‑holder Jawaharlal Nehru’s elected term. The achievement underscores the ruling party’s continued electoral strength. Opposition parties have raised concerns about the concentration of power. Analysts suggest the record may influence upcoming state elections and policy agendas.
