Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s monthly radio broadcast, ‘Mann Ki Baat’, resumed on Sunday after a three-month hiatus due to the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Today’s episode of ‘Mann Ki Baat’, a platform for PM Modi to engage directly with citizens on key issues, was the first after his re-election for a third term.
PM Modi thanked voters in his address for re-electing the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) to power. He said people reposed their unbreakable trust in the Constitution and the democratic process in elections. “Today I also thank the countrymen that they have reiterated their unwavering faith in our Constitution and the democratic system of the country. The Lok Sabha election 2024 was the biggest election in the world. Such a big election has never been held in any country of the world in which 65 crore people cast their votes,” Prime Minister said.
He mentioned that though the ‘Mann Ki Baat’ broadcasts were suspended for a few months, its spirit continued in the country. PM Modi added that he had “missed the communication” since the last episode on February 25, when it was paused due to the electoral process.
“Today, finally, the day has some for which we were all waiting for since February. Through ‘Mann Ki Baat’, I am once again amongst you, amongst my family members. I told you in February that I would meet you again after the election results and today I am again present amongst you with Mann Ki Baat. The arrival of the monsoon has made your hearts happy as well,” the PM said.
