Modi Poised to Surpass Indira Gandhi's Tenure
Narendra Modi is about to become the second-longest-serving Prime Minister of India, meaning he's been in charge for a very long time.
He'll pass Indira Gandhi's record this week.
The person who was in charge the longest was Jawaharlal Nehru.
Modi has also won many elections in a row, both in his state and for the whole country.
He's the first PM born after India became independent and is the longest-serving one who wasn't from the Congress party.
Basically, he's been in power a lot longer than most people.
PM Modi is set to become the second-longest-serving Indian PM in consecutive terms, surpassing Indira Gandhi.
Modi will complete 4,078 days in office, exceeding Gandhi's 4,077 days in an unbroken stint.
The record for the longest unbroken stint is held by Jawaharlal Nehru.
Modi is the longest-serving head of government, both at the state and central levels.
He is the longest-serving non-Congress PM and the only non-Congress leader to complete two full terms.
