In India, a Chief Minister is the de facto elected head of government of a state and sometimes a Union Territory (UT). Currently, 28 states and only the union territories of Delhi and Puducherry have a Chief Minister. According to the Constitution of India, the Governor is the head of the state, but the actual executive authority rests with the Chief Minister.

Since the Chief Minister is an elected head and in a democracy, election (or election) is related to popularity. In such a situation, only the Chief Minister who has more popularity can remain in office for the longest time. Come, let us know about such Chief Ministers who remained in their posts for the longest period. Or in short – the longest serving Indian Chief Minister.
