Impressive that Modi ji talks about everything from tree planting to Kargil Vijay Diwas in one episode. I just wish these Mann Ki Baat episodes weren't so one-sided—sometimes it feels like a monologue rather than a conversation. But the tree plantation world record from Ahmedabad is genuinely something to be proud of! 👏
Good to see youth workers being involved. The emphasis on tree planting is great—we need more green cover in Gujarat's cities. But honestly, I wish they'd also talk about youth unemployment and skill development more directly. Still, Mann Ki Baat does bring some positive messages. 🌳
Truly inspiring to see the PM paying tribute to our Kargil heroes on the same day. Atmanirbhar Bharat in defence is the need of the hour. But let's also remember that tree planting is just one part—we need proper urban planning to tackle pollution. Good initiative overall though! 🇮🇳
Public screening like this is a nice community event. I appreciate that they invited everyone, not just party members. But I genuinely think Mann Ki Baat has become too predictable—same themes every time. Still, if it encourages even a few people to plant trees, it's worth it. 👍
It's heartwarming to see the CM in a temple, offering prayers and then sitting among the people. This kind of accessibility is rare in politics. The message about youth in science and tech is especially important for our kids to hear. More such events should happen in smaller towns too! 🙏
