While I appreciate the PM's efforts to connect with citizens, I wish there was more time devoted to discussing concrete policy actions rather than just festival greetings. The program has potential to be more substantive.

As someone from Karnataka, it felt special to hear Ugadi mentioned in Mann Ki Baat. These small recognitions of regional festivals make us feel truly united as a nation.
