Assam CM Sarma listens to PM Modi's Mann Ki Baat 134th episode in Delhi
Guwahati, May 31
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma participated in the 134th episode of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Mann Ki Baat programme with party workers in the national capital on Sunday.
In a press statement issued from the State BJP Headquarters, Atal Bihari Vajpayee Bhawan, BJP Media Panellist Amal Narayan Patowary stated that lakhs of BJP workers across more than 25,000 booths in 433 mandals spread across all 39 districts of Assam listened to the Prime Minister's Mann Ki Baat programme.
State Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Dilip Saikia also joined BJP workers in West Bengal's Kolkata to listen to the broadcast.
The 134th episode of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's widely acclaimed monthly radio programme, Mann Ki Baat, was broadcast across the country today.
Addressing the nation, the Prime Minister highlighted the increasing intensity of the summer season and urged citizens to remain vigilant against heat-related health risks. He encouraged people to stay hydrated, consume traditional Indian beverages such as buttermilk and avoid unnecessary exposure to the sun during peak hours.
The Prime Minister also spoke about the diverse varieties of mangoes cultivated across different states of India and extended his greetings and appreciation to farmers associated with mango production.
He further advised citizens to adhere to the guidelines and advisories issued by various government departments regarding heatwave preparedness and safety. Referring to his recent visit to the Netherlands, Prime Minister Modi noted with gratitude that the Dutch Prime Minister had returned several ancient Indian copper plates to India.
These inscriptions, he observed, contain valuable records of the prosperous and illustrious history of the ancient Chola Empire. He also mentioned the recent discovery of three rare copper plates in Chhattisgarh. Written in Pali and dating back nearly 1,400 years, these inscriptions provide significant insights into the economic conditions and cultural life of that era.
Highlighting India's rich tradition of astronomical studies, the Prime Minister spoke about the country's historic contributions to Mathematical Astronomy. He underscored the growing interest in astronomy and astrophysics and encouraged greater collaboration among organisations such as the Bangalore Astronomical Society, Astro Keralam, Big Bang Astronomy of Rajkot, and other scientific institutions across the nation.
He called upon India's youth to actively engage with astronomy clubs and contribute to the advancement of astronomy and astrophysics.

Mango ki baat achi lagi. Hum North East mein bhi organic mangoes grow karte hain, lekin awareness chahiye. Lekin yeh West Bengal mein Dilip Saikia ka join karna — kya Narendra Modi ji ne Bengal mein bhi BJP ka expansion dikhane ki koshish ki? Mann Ki Baat toh national unity ke liye hai, local politics nahi.
Impressive how Modi uses radio to reach rural India. The copper plates story shows India's ancient intellectual heritage. But I'm curious — with Assam's heat, were there any specific state-level heatwave guidelines mentioned? Local implementation matters more than central speeches sometimes.
Guwahati mein bhi suna humne! Mann Ki Baat ka best part yeh hai ki yeh common aadmi ko connect karta hai. Mango varieties ka mention — asli Bharatiya feeling. Lekin Delhi mein event karke Assam CM ka photo op ban gaya? Assam mein karo toh local issues bhi highlight ho jaate. But overall, good initiative. 🌞🥭
Traditional Indian beverages — buttermilk, aam panna — yeh toh summer survival tips hain. Lekin astronomy clubs ka encouragement kuch forced lagta hai. Institute of Advanced Study in Science and Technology Guwahati mein hai, lekin Assam youth ke liye astronomy opportunities hain? Local resources ka mention bhi ho sakta tha.
Yeh 134th episode hai — consistency impressive hai! Copper plates ki
