The tweet has left the netizens guessing on Twitter.
The tweet comes just hours after PM Modi inaugurated Mumbai Metro lines 2A and 7, comprising a 35-km long elevated corridor stretching from Andheri to Dahisar.
After the inaugration, PM Modi travelled in a Mumbai metro train between Gundavali and Mogra stations in suburban Mumbai and interacted with a group of youngsters, women and metro rail workers. These two stations are part of the Metro line 7 phase 2, which was inaugurated by him.
Chief Minister Shinde and his deputy Fadnavis accompanied the PM during the ride.
He also inaugurated 20 'Aapla Davakhana' health clinics named after Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray. This novel initiative provides essential medical services like health checkups, medicines, investigations and diagnostics completely free, to people.
During his visit to Mumbai, PM Modi also laid foundation stones for seven sewage treatment plants, a road concretisation project and redevelopment of the iconic Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus.
The prime minister also launched MUMBAI 1 mobile app and National Common Mobility Card (Mumbai 1). The app, which can be shown at the entry gates of metro stations, will facilitate ease of travel. It supports digital payment to buy tickets through UPI.
Further, the prime minister started the transfer of approved loans of over one lakh beneficiaries under PM SVANidhi Yojana. The scheme funded by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs is targeted at street vendors and seeks to provide them credit for working capital for their business which suffered due to the coronavirus pandemic.
