The 108th episode of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s monthly radio address ‘Mann Ki Baat’ attracted a large audience on Sunday. Women from the Muslim community in Old Delhi turned out in large numbers for a special telecast at the Women’s Park near Jama Masjid.
The special telecast organized by the Indian Minorities Foundation, an NGO, comes at a time when the BJP is making conscious efforts to reach out to all communities beyond its core voters with an eye on next year’s Lok Sabha elections. The broadcast attracted Muslim participants of various age groups, especially women.
‘Mann Ki Baat’ is a platform for PM Modi to communicate directly with the people. He is using this platform to raise issues of national importance with the people. Also encouraging them to become stakeholders in the pursuit of a ‘developed nation’ in the coming years. Giving her opinion on PM Modi’s radio address to ANI on Sunday, Shabana Rehman, one of the attendees of the broadcast, said, ‘We all have gathered here to listen to PM Modi’s ‘Mann Ki Baat’. We all support PM Modi.
Calling PM Modi ‘bhaijaan’, Shabana Rehman underlined his efforts to reach out to different communities. He said, ‘No other party or government has done as much for us as this government has done. Be it triple talaq or giving benefits of government social welfare schemes. PM Modi has done a lot for us. He is our ‘bhaijaan’.
