• ‘Mann Ki Baat’ strengthens direct dialogue between PM Modi and the people: Ashok Koul 

VIJAYPUR: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) J&K General Secretary (Organization) Ashok Koul addressed a meeting of Mandal Presidents, General Secretaries, and Mann Ki Baat Mandal Incharges of the Vijaypur Assembly constituency.

Addressing the meeting, Ashok Koul highlighted the significance of the Mann Ki Baat programme as a unique platform that fosters direct and meaningful communication between the people and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He emphasized that this initiative is not just a routine broadcast but a dynamic two-way communication channel that reflects the thoughts, aspirations, and achievements of citizens from all walks of life. He asked all office-bearers to mobilize and engage prominent locals across every booth to actively participate in the programme’s dissemination and discussions, thereby enhancing community involvement and public participation.

Koul highlighted how Mann Ki Baat has inspired citizens to contribute to social causes, encouraged awareness about national priorities, and ignited mass movements related to cleanliness, women empowerment, youth innovation and environmental conservation. These efforts demonstrate how the programme has transcended its radio broadcast origins to become a catalyst for positive change and inclusive nation-building.

Ashok Koul further outlined strategies to maximize reach and impact, encouraging booth-level listening groups, discussions, and follow-up actions that align with the larger developmental goals articulated by the Prime Minister.

BJP Senior Leader Jai Ram Sharma, Mandal Presidents Sushil Singh, Dheeraj Sharma and Narinder Singh, along with all Mann Ki Baat Mandal Incharges, were present at the meeting. They reaffirmed their commitment to ensure that Mann Ki Baat listening and engagement sessions are organized methodically at every booth in the Vijaypur constituency, with full participation from local prominent, youth leaders, women groups, and community elders.
