He served as the acting Prime Minister of India for two 13-day tenures following the deaths of Jawaharlal Nehru in 1964 and Lal Bahadur Shastri in 1966 respectively. Both his terms ended after the ruling Indian National Congress's parliamentary party elected a new prime minister. He was awarded the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian award, in 1997. Passing away at the age of 99 years and 195 days, he holds the record as the longest-lived Prime Minister in India's history.","summary_more":[],"facts":[{"key":"born","label":"Born","values":[{"text":"4 July 1898","date":"1898-07-04"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q317769#P569"}},{"key":"birthplace","label":"Place of birth","values":[{"text":"Sialkot","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q643883"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q317769#P19"}},{"key":"died","label":"Died","values":[{"text":"15 January 1998","date":"1998-01-15"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q317769#P570"}},{"key":"deathplace","label":"Place of death","values":[{"text":"New Delhi","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q987"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q317769#P20"}},{"key":"citizenship","label":"Citizenship","values":[{"text":"India","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q668","start":"1950-01-26"},{"text":"British Raj","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q129286","end":"1947-08-14"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q317769#P27"}},{"key":"occupation","label":"Occupation","values":[{"text":"politician","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q82955"},{"text":"economist","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q188094"},{"text":"university teacher","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1622272"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q317769#P106"}},{"key":"party","label":"Political party","values":[{"text":"Indian National Congress","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q10225"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q317769#P102"}},{"key":"education","label":"Education","values":[{"text":"University of Allahabad","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2005647"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q317769#P69"}},{"key":"positions","label":"Positions held","values":[{"text":"Prime Minister of India (11 January 1966 – 24 January 1966)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q192711","start":"1966-01-11","end":"1966-01-24"},{"text":"Minister of External Affairs (27 May 1964 – 9 June 1964)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q313465","start":"1964-05-27","end":"1964-06-09"},{"text":"Prime Minister of India (27 May 1964 – 9 June 1964)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q192711","start":"1964-05-27","end":"1964-06-09"},{"text":"Minister of Home Affairs (29 August 1963 – 14 November 1966)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3440901","start":"1963-08-29","end":"1966-11-14"},{"text":"Member of the Lok Sabha","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q16556694"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q317769#P39"}},{"key":"awards","label":"Awards","values":[{"text":"Bharat Ratna","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q322132","date":"1997"},{"text":"Padma Vibhushan in Public Affairs","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q84042880"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q317769#P166"}}],"office":null,"sections":[],"cited":[],"cited_from":null,"videos":[],"last_reviewed":null,"organizations":[],"same_as":["https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulzarilal_Nanda","https://ne.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A4%97%E0%A5%81%E0%A4%B2%E0%A4%9C%E0%A4%B0%E0%A5%80%E0%A4%B2%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%B2_%E0%A4%A8%E0%A4%A8%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%A6%E0%A4%BE","https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q317769"],"faq":[{"q":"When was Gulzarilal Nanda born?","a":"Gulzarilal Nanda was born on 4 July 1898 in Sialkot."},{"q":"What positions has Gulzarilal Nanda held?","a":"Positions held by Gulzarilal Nanda include: Prime Minister of India (1966–1966);
