New Delhi, Jul 25: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday marked a major milestone in the country\u2019s history, becoming the second-longest-serving PM of India in consecutive terms, surpassing the record of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
\nNotably, he is the first non-Congress Prime Minister to mark this achievement. Additionally, Narendra Modi is the first Prime Minister born after independence and the longest-serving from a non-Hindi state.
\nNarendra Modi, 74, took oath as Prime Minister for the first time on May 26, 2014 and has served a total of 11 years and 60 days in office till date.
\nThe erstwhile Prime Minister Indira Gandhi had served for 11 years 59 days in office in consecutive terms. She held the highest office as Prime Minister of India from January 24, 1966 \u2013 March 24, 1977.
\nFormer and first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru holds the record of the longest-serving Prime Minister of India in consecutive terms for 16 years and 286 days, from August 15, 1947 to May 27, 1964.
\nThe first Prime Minister born after India\u2019s independence, Prime Minister Modi, has previously served as the Prime Minister of India from 2014 to 2019 and from 2019 to 2024.
\nHe also has the distinction of being the longest-serving Chief Minister of Gujarat with his term spanning from October 2001 to May 2014
\nIn the 2014 and 2019 Parliamentary elections, PM Modi led the Bharatiya Janata Party to record Lok Sabha wins, securing absolute majority on both occasions. The last time that a political party secured such an absolute majority was in the 1984 elections in which Congress secured a landslide vicotry.
\nPrime Minister Modi-led government has also taken several notable decisions during his term, including the Abrogation of Article 370, the abolition of Triple Talaq, the construction of Ram Janmbhoomi Temple in Ayodhya, the Waqf Amendment Act, etc.
\nInspired by the motto of \u2018Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas\u2019, Prime Minister Modi has ushered in a paradigm shift in governance that has led to inclusive, development-oriented and corruption-free governance. The Prime Minister has worked with speed and scale to realise the aim of Antyodaya, or ensuring last-mile delivery of schemes and services.
\nLeading international agencies have noted that under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi, India has been eliminating poverty at a record pace. According to the findings from NITI Aayog\u2019s latest report \u2018Multidimensional Poverty in India since 2005-06\u2019, almost 25 crore people escaped multidimensional poverty in last nine years. The credit for this remarkable achievement goes to the significant initiatives of the government to address all dimensions of poverty.<\/p>\n
