On 5 August 2025, Amit Shah officially became India's longest serving Union Home Minister, who, senior leader L.K. Broke Advani's record. Advani worked for 2,256 days on this post, while Shah has been in this role for more than 2,258 days so far after assuming this responsibility in May 2019.

This achievement reflects Shah's continuous impact in national rule and internal security. As the Home Minister, he has monitored important policies like Border Security, Anti-terrorism, reconciliation in Manipur, and administrative reforms. Former Chief Minister of Manipur N. Biren Singh praised Shah's tenure as strategic and sensitive, called him modern "Chanakya" and praised his leadership in holding peace talks with militant groups.

Shah's term reflects the regular confidence and support of both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), as he has also served as Cooperative Minister before 2021. His long term under Modi's leadership further transfer power to his reputation as a strategist and administrator. Crossing this record amidst India's current security and development challenges highlights how important Shah's role has been in making an internal policy outlook of the government. Political analysts say that in modern Indian politics it is rare to continue in this position for more than six years, which reflects both political stability and permanent administrative hold.

Amit Shah's achievement as the longest-serving Home Minister remarks a important chapter in Indian political administration, and highlights his central role in managing the nation’s internal affairs over a sustained period.
