Narendra Modi Becomes Longest-Serving Elected Indian Prime Minister

Prime Minister Narendra Modi created a new record on June 10. He has become the longest-serving elected PM of the country. He has broken the record of former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru. PM Modi took oath of office for the first time on May 26, 2014 and has completed 4399 days in office, while Nehru was continuously elected and remained the Prime Minister for 4398 days. The BJP's comparison between Narendra Modi and Pandit Nehru has also evoked a response from the Congress. Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh said that Jawaharlal Nehru became the Prime Minister of India on 15 August 1947 and he led a brilliant cabinet, which was rarely seen in the world. Then in the next five years, modern India was built. More than 560 princely states were peacefully merged into the Indian Union, the Constitution of India was discussed and adopted, zamindari system was abolished, reservation for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes was implemented, many multi-purpose irrigation and multipurpose power projects were started in the field of science and technology, and India has become a global power.
