World leaders congratulated Prime Minister Narendra Modi on becoming India’s longest continuously serving elected prime minister on June 10, surpassing Jawaharlal Nehru’s 4,398 consecutive days in office.
Messages arrived from counterparts across Asia, Europe and the Americas praising Modi’s tenure and bilateral cooperation. Nehru served from independence in 1947 until his death in 1964.
Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party has won successive national elections since 2014. His continuous term reflects uninterrupted electoral mandates rather than coalition rotations.
Domestic opponents acknowledged the milestone while criticizing Modi’s record on unemployment and democratic institutions.
On June 10, Modi completed 4,399 consecutive days in elected office, surpassing Jawaharlal Nehru’s prior record.
