He was re-elected from Maninagar in 2007 and 2012 and represented the constituency till 2014 when he became the Prime Minister of India.

In 2014, Modi contested for the two Lok Sabha constituencies: Varanasi and Vadodara.[2] He won in both constituencies, defeating Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal in Varanasi and Madhusudan Mistry of the Indian National Congress in Vadodara.[3] To comply with the law that an elected representative cannot represent more than one constituency, he vacated the Vadodara seat.[4] In 2019 he was again re-elected from Varanasi.
