Modi becomes fourth longest serving Indian PM: BJP

New Delhi: Narendra Modi has become the longest-serving non-Congress prime minister and the fourth longest-serving overall, the party noted on Thursday.

“Today, PM Narendra Modi becomes the fourth longest-serving PM in the history of India! He now also holds the distinction of being the longest-serving non-Congress PM. Vajpayee ji served for 2,268 days, with all his terms put together. Today PM Modi has surpassed that duration,” BJP IT department in-charge Amit Malviya tweeted.

Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi and Manmohan Singh, all from the Congress, are the three longest-serving Indian prime minister in that order.
