NEW DELHI: PM Narendra Modi will reach another milestone in his career on Friday when he will overtake Indira Gandhi 's 48-year-old record of having the second-longest consecutive stint as PM. Modi will complete 4,078 days in office to overtake Indira's uninterrupted spell of 4,077 days from Jan 24, 1966, to March 24, 1977.
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.
