Mann Ki Baat@100: 'Show allowed me to connect with people when I came to Delhi in 2014,' says PM Modi

The historic 100th episode of Mann Ki Baat aired today where Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated the citizens of India to help him reach the milestone. He said that his radio programme is the “Mann Ki Baat” of millions of Indians and an expression of their emotions.

At the beginning of his address, the prime minister said, “I have received thousands of letters from you, lakhs of messages from people. While going through these letters, I got emotional and was swept away by them.”

“You have congratulated me on the 100th episode of Mann Ki Baat, but all the listeners, our countrymen deserve to be congratulated. Mann Ki Baat is the ‘Mann Ki Baat of millions of Indians and the expression of their emotions,” he added.

“The Mann Ki Baat show is the personification of our citizens; here we celebrate positivity, and people’s participation,” PM Modi said while adding that the show is a way of celebrating others’ achievements, an occasion to learn from others.

During the show, he also recalled how Mann Ki Baat was conceived in 2014. He said, “On October 3, 2014, we began the journey of Mann Ki Baat on the occasion of Vijaya Dashami. Just as the day of Vijaya Dashami celebrates the victory of good over evil, Mann Ki Baat also represented the goodness and positivity of Indians.”
