Through 'Mann Ki Baat', I have become a member of every family: PM Modi

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Answering the critics of his ‘Mann Ki Baat’ radio broadcast, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said he had not thought it would be viewed politically when he launched the programme more than two years back.

He said through the programme, he had “become a member of every household” of the country, conversing with “my family” about routine issues. He said that like “an ordinary citizen”, he too gets influenced by good or bad things.

“Some people take ‘Mann Ki Baat’ as a monologue and some criticise  it from a political angle,” Modi said on his radio programme, the first after the completion of three years of his government.

He was clearly answering criticism by the opposition parties which have been alleging that he only says what he wants to and does not listen to the people’s voices.

“When I started ‘Mann Ki Baat’, I had not thought so,” he said about the programme launched on October 2, 2014. Through the programme, he said he felt like he was conversing with “my family while sitting at home”.
