Prime minister Narendra Modi on Thursday inaugurated two new Metro lines - 2A and 7 - in Mumbai. He also travelled on the Metro between the city's Gundavali and Mogra stations with Maharashtra chief minister Eknath Shinde and deputy chief minister Devendra Fadnavis.

Fadnavis later tweeted a cryptic photo of the three of them together (and sharing a laugh) with the caption: "Guess the conversation."
Earlier Modi waved to crowds at the Gundavali station before boarding the train. During the ride, he also interacted with young men and women, and metro rail workers.
The 18.6 km 2A Yellow line service connects Dahisar East and DN Nagar in Andheri West. The 7 line links Andheri East to Dahisar East and is around 16.5 km long.
