Prime Minister Narendra Modi has reached yet another historic political milestone. As of July 25, 2025, he has completed 4,078 consecutive days in office, surpassing former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s record of 4,077 days (January 1966 – March 1977), making him the second-longest-serving Indian Prime Minister in a single uninterrupted term.
This moment is more than just a number — it reflects an enduring legacy of leadership, evolving from his early days as Gujarat’s Chief Minister in 2001 to now commanding the highest elected office in the country for nearly 24 continuous years. No other Indian Prime Minister has led governments — at both state and national levels — for such an extended, unbroken period.
Modi’s rise has been marked by a blend of grassroots connect, digital savviness, and strong centralised governance. His political longevity stands out not only in terms of tenure but also in terms of consistency — winning two consecutive full terms and navigating India through complex challenges including economic reforms, global diplomacy, the COVID-19 pandemic, and national security concerns.
