PM Modi’s first Mann Ki Baat today after re-election, says ‘Glad to be back’

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s monthly radio broadcast, ‘Mann Ki Baat’, will resume 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, will be the first after his re-election for a third term.

“Inviting you all to tune in to this month’s #MannKiBaat at 11 AM. Glad to be back on this medium, highlighting collective efforts for societal good,” PM Modi wrote on X ahead of the programme.

On June 18, Prime Minister Modi confirmed the programme’s resumption and encouraged the public to contribute their ideas and feedback through various channels, including the MyGov Open Forum, NaMo App, or by recording messages on 1800-11-7800.

“Delighted to share that after a gap of some months due to the elections, #MannKiBaat is back! This month’s programme will take place on Sunday, 30th June. I call upon all of you to share your ideas and inputs for the same,” PM Modi announced.

The broadcast generally airs on the last Sunday of each month. The last episode was broadcast on February 25 before being temporarily halted due to the electoral process.

‘Mann Ki Baat’, launched in October 2014, allows the Prime Minister to directly connect with the nation, discussing various topics such as government initiatives, national issues, and inspiring messages to the people.

It is broadcast in 22 Indian languages and 29 dialects, as well as 11 foreign languages, including French, Chinese, and Arabic, reaching a wide audience through more than 500 broadcast centres of the All India Radio.
