Only Jawaharlal Nehru, had a longer unbroken run after the first general election in 1952 - from April 1952 to May 27, 1964. Modi, who served as Gujarat CM for 13 years, holds the record of being the PM with the longest spell as head of govt among the holders of the top office.


He led BJP to three consecutive victories in Gujarat - in 2002, 2007 and 2012. He achieved the feat also at Centre, by taking his party to the top finish in three consecutive Lok Sabha elections - 2014, 2019 and 2024.
