Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday congratulated Bengaluru MLA Suresh Kumar for cycling more than 700 km from Bengaluru to Kanniyakumari.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared a post on his X account, praising Suresh Kumar's commendable effort.

"Shri S. Suresh Kumar Ji's feat of cycling from Bengaluru to Kanniyakumari is commendable and inspiring. The fact that it was done after he overcame health setbacks highlights his grit and unyielding spirit. It also gives an important message of fitness. Spoke to him and congratulated him for the effort," PM Modi wrote, while quoting a news article.

Earlier, Bengaluru MLA Suresh Kumar shared a post and opened up on receiving a call from Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He added that PM Modi congratulated him for cycling 702 kms to Kanniyakumari, that too after suffering a serious ailment.

"I was really thrilled to receive a call from none other than Hon'ble PM of Bharath @narendramodi congratulating me for my 702 kms cycling to Kanyakumari. He was happy to know that after 51 years this was my 2nd cycling to Kanyakumari, that too after suffering serious ailment," Suresh Kumar wrote.

In November 2025, PM Modi congratulated the Indian women's cricket team on winning their first-ever ICC Women's World Cup, saying the entire nation is proud of their achievement and that their success will inspire millions of young people across the country.

Speaking at the Emerging Science, Technology and Innovation Conclave (ESTIC) 2025, PM Modi said, "This event is related to science. But first, I will talk about India's spectacular victory in cricket. All of India is overjoyed with the success of its cricket team. This is India's first Women's World Cup. I congratulate our women's cricket team. We are proud of you. Your success will inspire millions of young people across the country." (ANI)
