'Mann Ki Baat' has become a mass movement giving positive direction to society: BJP's Rajiv Bindal
Solan, June 28
BJP Himachal Pradesh President Rajeev Bindal on Sunday listened to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's popular programme 'Mann Ki Baat' along with workers and local citizens in Solan district and said that it has become a "mass movement giving a positive direction to society."
Bindal said, "Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Mann Ki Baat' program is not just a radio program, but has become a mass movement giving a positive direction to society. Through this platform, the Prime Minister brings topics such as inspiring individuals from across the country, innovations, social campaigns, environmental protection, cleanliness, women empowerment, youth power, and a self-reliant India to the common people."
He said that 'Mann Ki Baat' inspires countrymen to become participants in nation-building and strengthens the spirit of service, public participation, and positive change in society.
"Every citizen should assimilate these inspiring messages of the Prime Minister into their lives and play an active role in the construction of a developed India (Viksit Bharat)," he said.
Voicing similar opinions,Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan also called Prime Minister Narendra Modi's monthly radio address 'Mann Ki Baat' a "public movement".
In a post on X, Pradhan said, "In the program, Prime Minister shared inspiring thoughts on important topics such as yoga, public participation for environmental conservation, the knowledge tradition of Nalanda University, women making eco-bricks from plastic waste, and the Ganesh festival. 'Mann Ki Baat' has today become a powerful medium for public participation, which inspires citizens to bring about positive change in society."
The 'Mann Ki Baat' program has today taken the form of a public movement, he emphasised, adding that PM Modi's address inspires every citizen to bring positive change in society.
"The Prime Minister's words have given us all a new energy to work together for the progress of the country and society, along with fulfilling the resolve of 'Developed Odisha' and 'Developed India," he said.

I like the idea behind it, but sometimes I feel it's too much of a praise-fest. Why can't they include critical feedback or discussion about real problems? When we listen to Mann Ki Baat, it feels like everything is perfect in the country, but ask any farmer or small shopkeeper, they will tell you a different story. The program needs more balanced conversation, not just success stories.
Rajiv Bindal is right—this is a mass movement. My grandfather, who never used to listen to the radio, now tunes in every month without fail. He says Modi ji's words give him hope. That's the power of this program—it reaches even the most remote corners and creates a sense of belonging. Whether you support the government or not, you cannot deny the positive energy it generates. 👏
As a student from a small town in Himachal, I have mixed feelings. The environmental topics are good, but I wish the PM also addressed issues like unemployment and education quality that directly affect youth like me. Still, I don't think any previous prime minister has tried to connect with us through radio like this, so credit where it's due. Let's hope it evolves to include more critical dialogues.
My mother says it's like listening to 'kahaani' from a wise elder. The way Modi ji talks about simple things like saving water or using cloth bags actually works—my family started a kitchen garden after one episode! It's not politics, it's about building habits. Pradhan ji is also right, it has become a public movement that inspires real action. Let's focus on the positive impact rather than nitpicking. 🙂
