Speaking on the occasion, Sat Sharma said, “Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Mann Ki Baat is not just a programme; it is a national movement that empowers citizens, highlights local heroes, and promotes collective action. It reflects the pulse of the people and their aspirations. Listening to it on the border among our dedicated workers is a moment of pride.”

Furthering the Prime Minister's vision for environmental consciousness, BJP leaders also planted saplings under the campaign “Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam” in Suchetgarh. BJP General Secretary (Organization), Ashok Koul, joined the party workers at Jammu West, Ward No. 41, Booth No. 5 to listen to the programme.
