A nonagenarian named Hiraba mistakenly reached Gurgaon instead of Delhi and said Prime Minister Narendra Modi feels like a son to him, wishing only blessings.
A 90-year-old resident identified as Hiraba travelled towards the national capital but inadvertently disembarked in Gurgaon, a satellite city of Delhi. The mix‑up was reported by local observers who noted the senior citizen’s confusion over the destination.
Upon realizing the error, Hiraba addressed the media, stating that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is "like my son" and that he only wishes to bless the leader. The comment reflected a personal admiration rather than any formal political endorsement.
The incident underscores the occasional challenges faced by elderly travelers navigating the congested corridors between Delhi and its adjoining urban centres. No further remarks were made by officials regarding the statement.
