Equaled Jawaharlal Nehru's record

Even Indira Gandhi could not record it

She then became Prime Minister again on 14 January 1980, however, she could not break Nehru's record as he was assassinated as Prime Minister. BJP won 240 seats in the Lok Sabha elections 2024. However, they are going to form the government in coalition as they are 32 seats short of a majority (272).
Jawaharlal Nehru's record
