Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday, June 30, 2019 will speak to the people of the country through his monthly radio program "Mann ki Baat" for the first time after returning to power with a thumping majority in the recent Lok Sabha elections. On February 24, the prime minister had suspended his monthly radio broadcast for March and April due to general elections. In his first tenure, Modi held 53 editions of the monthly radio program Mann Ki Baat. Modi has once again started his Mann ki Baat radio show, which will now be held on the last Sunday of every month.
Below are the highlights of PM Modi's Mann ki Baat
