Q. Who is 3 times PM of India

Narendra Modi has served as Prime Minister of India three times, being elected in 2014, 2019, and 2024. He first became Prime Minister on May 26, 2014, after leading the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to a historic majority victory with 282 seats in the Lok Sabha, ending three decades of coalition governments and becoming the first non-Congress party to win an absolute majority on its own. Modi was re-elected in 2019 with an even stronger mandate, as the BJP increased its tally to 303 seats, making him the first non-Congress Prime Minister to secure two consecutive full terms with clear majorities. His third term began in 2024, though with a significant difference—the BJP won 240 seats, falling short of the 272 majority mark, requiring Modi to lead a coalition government under the National Democratic Alliance (NDA).

Before Modi, Jawaharlal Nehru was the other Prime Minister to serve three full terms, serving continuously from 1947 until his death in 1964. Indira Gandhi also served as Prime Minister during three separate periods (1966-1977 and 1980-1984), though not all were full consecutive terms due to her electoral defeat in 1977. Modi's achievement of winning three consecutive elections represents significant electoral success and reflects the BJP's dominance in Indian politics under his leadership, particularly his ability to maintain popular support across a decade of governance. His third term, however, marks a shift from single-party dominance to coalition management, presenting different governance challenges compared to his first two terms where he enjoyed overwhelming parliamentary majorities.
