Prime Minister Narendra Modi has become India’s longest-serving elected Prime Minister, completing 4,399 consecutive days in office and surpassing the record of India’s first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru. The milestone is being marked at a National Democratic Alliance (NDA) conclave in New Delhi, attended by chief ministers, deputy chief ministers and senior coalition leaders. The meeting is expected to pass a resolution congratulating Modi and discuss governance priorities, welfare schemes, infrastructure development and the ‘Viksit Bharat 2047’ vision. The Ministry of External Affairs highlighted India’s expanded global engagement during the past 12 years, while leaders from India and abroad, including US Senator John Cornyn, offered congratulatory messages recognising Modi’s tenure and leadership.
