Taking it to X, Singh said that PM Modi has surpassed the record of former Sikkim Chief Minister Pawan Kumar Chamling, who served for 8,930 days.

"A remarkable moment in India's political journey today. With over 8,931 days in continuous public office as head of government, Prime Minister @narendramodi has now overtaken Pawan Kumar Chamling to become the longest-serving in this role. From leading Gujarat for over a decade to serving as Prime Minister, this journey reflects consistency, commitment, and an enduring connect with the people," he wrote on X.

Furthermore, he noted the key highlights of the Prime Minister's journey, "Key highlights: Longest-serving Chief Minister of Gujarat, Prime Minister with the deepest administrative experience as a former CM, First Prime Minister born in independent India, Three consecutive Lok Sabha mandates -- 2014, 2019, 2024. An extraordinary milestone--defined by continuity, governance experience and sustained public trust."

Earlier today, Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju hailed PM Modi as India's longest-serving leader.

Taking it to X, Rijiju wrote, "A truly remarkable milestone. PM @narendramodi ji today becomes the longest-serving head of a government in India, surpassing the 8,930-day record of former Sikkim CM Pawan Kumar Chamling. His 8,931 days of service, from Gujarat CM to Prime Minister, stand as a testament to tireless dedication, integrity & nation-first governance. An inspiring journey of trust and Seva."

The achievement underscores Modi's decades-long leadership and continuous public service. He remains the first Prime Minister born after Independence and has led his party to three consecutive Lok Sabha victories in 2014, 2019, and 2024.

In March, PM Modi crossed the significant milestone of 30 million subscribers on YouTube, further cementing his position as the most-followed world leader on the platform.

Among world leaders, PM Modi has the highest number of subscribers on YouTube. As per the rankings, he is comfortably ahead of others in the category. The second-highest, former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, has a subscriber base that is only about one-fourth of PM Modi's.

PM Modi has more than seven times the number of subscribers compared to US President Donald Trump, underlining the scale of his digital outreach and engagement worldwide.

This achievement comes after Prime Minister Narendra Modi earlier crossed the historic milestone of 100 million followers on Instagram, becoming the first world leader and politician to achieve this feat on the platform.
