“PM Shri @narendramodi Ji made #MetroRevolutionInIndia a reality, making Bharat a global leader in network length, zooming past major economies of the world. Expanding to new cities at an unmatched pace, urban travel has been made faster, safer, and more accessible to commuters,” said Union Home minister Amit Shah in a post on X.
PM Narendra Modi inaugurated and took a ride on the Namo Bharat train on the RRTS corridor from Sahibabad in Ghaziabad to New Ashok Nagar in Delhi, news agency PTI reported.
“It is their (BJP's) habit. They launch such projects worth thousands of crores before the elections. It was done in Maharashtra as well. They do not do anything for 5 years and before the announcement of the election date, they want to do everything. They again go silent for the next 5 years. The people of Delhi are with Kejriwa,” said Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut.
The key differences between rapid transit trains (like RRTS) and metro trains lie in their purpose, speed, coverage, and operational characteristics.
Metro trains are primarily designed for urban transit within cities, catering to short-distance travel. It connects various parts of a city or metropolitan area.
Rapid transit trains are focused on regional transit, connecting cities and suburbs or even nearby towns. They are ideal for medium to long-distance travel.
AAP leader Priyanka Kakkar said Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ‘Papua’ remark was an abuse of Arvind Kejriwal, who ‘brought a transformative model’ for Delhi.
“This kind of person was abused by PM Modi. I feel 'aapda' is on BJP this time, who don't have any CM face, no vision, agenda. The only 'aapda' on Delhi is of law and order, which is a direct responsibility of Amit Shah, BJP, where they have failed,” said Kakkar.
Delhi chief minister Atishi said the national capital's transport facilities have expanded on a “very large” scale in the last decade.
“With today's inauguration of the metro line and RRTS, Delhi is starting to become a model in the transport sector in the country and the world,” Atishi said.
PM Modi in Delhi updates: Delhi chief minister Atishi congratulated the people of national capital ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's inauguration of several projects.
“I would like to congratulate all the people of Delhi. The Delhi government and the central government are jointly taking the transport sector in Delhi far ahead,” Atishi said.
Union minister of parliamentary and minority affairs Kiren Rijiju hailed ‘metro revolution’ under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's tenure.
“Bringing Cities Closer, Changing Lives! Under Hon'ble PM Shri @narendramodi ji's visionary leadership, the #MetroRevolutionInIndia has transformed urban mobility, connecting millions & empowering dreams.From 248 km in 2014 to over 1,000 km today, this is progress that touches every life!,” Rijiju said in a post on X.
“We are committed to expanding regional connectivity in Delhi as well as making travel convenient. In this series, I will have the privilege of inaugurating and laying the foundation stone of many projects today at around 12:15 pm. Before this, I will inaugurate the Sahibabad-Ashok Nagar Namo Bharat Corridor,” said PM Modi in a post on X.
“Today is a very important day for Delhi-NCR. Today, for the first time, the Namo Bharat train will enter the capital, and there will also be an opportunity to inaugurate and lay the foundation stone of many development projects, including the expansion of the Delhi Metro,” said PM Modi in a post on X.
PM Modi in Delhi updates: “PM Narendra Modi is continuously striving for convenience, comfort, and connectivity for the people of Delhi... Metro Phase 4 will ease traffic and pollution. Congress' cynicism and criticism never end,” said BJP leader Shehzad Poonawalla.
Congress candidate from the New Delhi constituency, Sandeep Dikshit, questioned the timing of inaugurating development projects.
“People understand all this is being done just because elections are around the corner. Kejriwal and PM Modi are doing the same thing, and both keep raising questions on one another. Neither of them can answer why all these development projects were not started in the last 10 years and why it is being done just days before MCC is implemented. We will contest the elections on 10 years of Congress rule in Delhi and the shortcomings of BJP and AAP governments,” said Dikshit.
