Prime Minister Narendra Modi joined local youngsters for a casual game of football in Gangtok during his visit to Sikkim, drawing widespread attention.
The interaction took place as part of his two-day tour to mark the state’s 50th year of statehood and to review key development initiatives. Modi later shared that the experience was refreshing and appreciated the enthusiasm of the youth.
The timing of the event, coming soon after his campaign activities in West Bengal, has also attracted political interest, especially given the popularity of football in the eastern region.
Photos and videos of the Prime Minister playing with the youth quickly circulated on social media, highlighting a blend of informal engagement and public outreach.
