चाहे वह स्वच्छता का विषय हो, कोविड योद्धाओं को प्रोत्साहित करना हो, बेटी बचाओ-बेटी पढ़ाओ की प्रेरणा देना हो, मेक इन इंडिया की बात हो, या फिर जल संरक्षण का विषय हो, मोदीजी ने राजनीतिक विषयों को छोड़ कर सार्वजनिक जीवन से जुड़े लगभग हर पहलू पर अपनी बात बड़े प्रभावी तरीक़े से रखी है।— Rajnath Singh (@rajnathsingh) April 30, 2023
BJP President JP Nadda, who is in Karnataka for election campaigning also urged people to listen to the show and said that PM Modi’s Mann Ki Baat contributed largely to social causes.
Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said that the programme turned out to have a phenomenal reach.
