October seven two thousand one to December twenty two two thousand two
December twenty two two thousand two to December twenty two two thousand seven
December twenty three two thousand seven to December twenty two two thousand twelve

These successive terms established Modi as one of the longest serving state leaders before his transition to national leadership.

Rise to national leadership

Narendra Modi later went on to lead the Bharatiya Janata Party to major victories in the national elections. The party secured strong mandates in the general elections of two thousand fourteen two thousand nineteen and two thousand twenty four enabling him to continue as Prime Minister.

Another landmark in Indian political history
