New Delhi, Sep 5 : Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday surprised many commuters, including school children, in Delhi Metro as he stepped into a coach and shared a ride with them till Delhi University where he was scheduled to address Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC) students during centenary celebrations.
Freely shaking hands with school children travelling in the coach, PM Modi interacted with them and some women passengers in the 20-odd minute journey around 7 p.m.
Visuals of PM Modi's public transport journey on social media showed him punching at the Metro station's ticketing gate using a travel card and then boarding a coach on the Yellow Line heading towards the Vishwavidyalaya Metro station.
The visuals showed PM Modi interacting with students of different age groups. One of the boys sitting next to him could be seen whispering into PM Modi's ears and then shaking hands with him.
This is not the first time that PM Modi has travelled in the Metro.
In 2023, the Prime Minister had taken Metro ride to reach Delhi University for attending the varsity's centenary celebrations.
In 2015, PM Modi had travelled by Delhi Metro to inaugurate Faridabad extension line.
In February 2026, PM Modi travelled in Meerut Metro and alighted at the Meerut South Station.
During his address at the SRCC, PM Modi highlighted the economic development and the growth story, increasing defence exports, end of Naxalism in the country and achievements like the construction of the new Parliament Building and the fight against Covid-19.
The Prime Minister said that he sets ambitious targets for the country and strives hard to achieve them.
Hitting out at regressive mentality, PM Modi once again used the phrase 'Dimagi Naxal', highlighting that citizens were seeing the true colours of people with anarchist mentality.
In his address, the Prime Minister also named famous alumni of SRCC and remarked, "I am the sixth player. Today's occasion is historic. It is also significant for the country's education sector. Many generations who have been part of SRCC are connected here."
He paid tribute to the college's founder, industrialist and philanthropist Sir Shri Ram, saying, "I also thank the college's founder, Sir Shri Ram ji. When a person lives for 100 years, their experiences are considered to be a sea of riches. And when an institution does so, it becomes an ocean of achievements."
