দিল্লি মেট্রো কিভাবে নাগরিকদের জীবনে ইতিবাচক স্বাচ্ছন্দ্য এনে দিয়েছে, তা এদিন প্রধানমন্ত্রী বিবৃত করেন তাঁর ভাষণে। বাহাদুরগড়ে অর্জিত বিশেষ অর্থনৈতিক সাফল্য ও অগ্রগতির কথা উল্লেখ করে তিনি বলেন যে, সেখানে বেশ কিছু গুরুত্বপূর্ণ শিক্ষা কেন্দ্র রয়েছে, যেখানে দিল্লি থেকে যাতায়াত করে ছাত্রছাত্রীরা পঠন-পাঠনে সুযোগ গ্রহণ করে থাকে। মেট্রোর নতুন লাইনটি চালু হওয়ার ফলে তাঁদের বিশেষ সুবিধা হবে বলে জানান প্রধানমন্ত্রী।
শ্রী মোদী বলেন যে, উন্নয়ন ও যোগাযোগের মধ্যে এক প্রত্যক্ষ যোগ বা সম্পর্ক রয়েছে। মেট্রো প্রকল্প যে স্থানীয় অধিবাসীদের কাছে আরও বেশি মাত্রায় কর্মসংস্থানের সুযোগ-সুবিধা এনে দেবে এ ব্যাপারে বিশেষ আশাবাদী তিনি।
