In Mumbai, PM Narendra Modi: On Friday, two Vande Bharat trains headed from Mumbai to Shirdi and Solapur were flagged off by the prime minister. Modi first flagged off the CSMT-Solapur Vande Bharat Express and then another semi-high-speed train connecting the financial centre to Sainagar Shirdi shrine town in the Ahmednagar district at an event at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus in south Mumbai. Additionally, he opened two MMRDA projects. The PM will also open the Aljamea-tus-Saifiyah Arabic Academy’s Mumbai campus, which is situated in Marol in the western suburbs. The timing of his second trip to Mumbai coincides with the upcoming Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation elections.
Due to PM Modi’s visit, there will be traffic restrictions between 2.45 and 6.30 pm in the Andheri and CST areas. According to the traffic authorities, Central Railways has booked a programme for Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus platform number 18, and a public event for Friday is also planned for Aljamea-Tas-Saifiyah in Marol Campus in Andheri (East), where many people are anticipated to attend.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi‘s repeated travels to Mumbai, according to Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut, demonstrate that the BJP and the Eknath Shinde faction are not qualified to win the elections for the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). The PM appears to be more focused on the BMC elections in Mumbai, the speaker said, rather than responding to important questions raised during the current budget debate in Parliament.
