Mann ki Baat LIVE Updates: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is addressing the nation through his monthly radio address Mann Ki Baat a day ahead of the country celebrating the festival of Holi. The ‘Mann Ki Baat’ radio address is broadcast on the last Sunday of every month and earlier this month, the prime minister tweeted seeking ideas for the latest edition of the programme. The address also comes a day after PM Modi’s two-day Bangladesh visit. He was in the neighbouring country to take part in celebrations marking 50 years of its independence.
Anew passenger train connecting Dhaka and New Jalpaiguri on the Indian side was inaugurated jointly by Modi and his Bangladeshi counterpart Sheikh Hasina via a video conference on Saturday. This is the third passenger train after Maitree Express (Dhaka-Kolkata) and Bandhan Express (Khulna-Kolkata) running between the two neighbouring countries. India and Bangladesh want stability, love and peace instead of instability, terror and unrest in the world, Prime Minister Modi said on Saturday as he underlined that the two friendly neighbours want to see the world progressing through their own development. Prime Minister Modi made the remarks while speaking to the Matua community members after offering prayers at their temple in Gopalganj’s Orakandi – the birthplace of Hindu mystic figure and community’s spiritual guru Harichand Thakur.
The address also comes after the first phase of polling in West Bengal and Assam Assembly elections. Both the states are crucial for the BJP which is looking to retain power in Assam, while in West Bengal, it is waging a battle against the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC).
