  • Mann Ki Baat reflects PM Modi’s commitment to people, and nation-building: Sat Sharma

JAMMU: J&K BJP President and Rajya Sabha MP Sat Sharma CA pronounced Mann Ki Baat as a powerful medium of public engagement that reflects Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s commitment to connecting with citizens, recognizing grassroots achievers and inspiring people to contribute to nation-building. He called upon party workers to take the programme’s message to every household through effective booth-level mobilization.

Chairing an organizational review meeting at the BJP headquarters, Trikuta Nagar, Jammu, Sat Sharma said that Mann Ki Baat has brought the achievements, innovations and inspiring stories of ordinary Indians into the national spotlight, strengthening public participation and promoting a spirit of collective responsibility.

The meeting was attended by J&K BJP Vice Presidents Priya Sethi, Rajiv Charak, Rakesh Mahajan, and Rekha Mahajan, General Secretaries Sanjita Dogra and Gopal Mahajan, MLAs Balwant Singh Mankotia, and Devyani Rana, Treasurer Prabhat Singh Jamwal, Secretaries Reema Padha, Arun Sharma, and Pawan Sharma, Mahila Morcha President Neha Mahajan, Incharge Publicity Materials & Literature S.

“Mann Ki Baat is much more than a radio programme, it is a movement that connects the nation through positive thinking, public participation and shared responsibility. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has created a unique platform that recognizes the extraordinary contributions of ordinary citizens and inspires people to become active partners in nation-building,” Sat Sharma said.

Sharma added that the programme highlights inspiring contributions in entrepreneurship, sports, environmental protection, innovation and social service, motivating particularly the youth to turn ideas into action. By recognizing unsung heroes and local initiatives, he said, the Prime Minister has reinforced the importance of grassroots efforts in building a stronger and more self-reliant India.

Sat Sharma asked party leaders and workers to ensure wider public participation in every broadcast, particularly at the booth level. He stressed that listening sessions must go beyond formal gatherings to encourage interaction with residents, identify local achievers and translate the programme’s inspiring messages into meaningful community initiatives.

He emphasized that the BJP’s organizational strength must be reflected in continuous public engagement, effective communication and a responsive approach to people’s aspirations and concerns.

The meeting also reviewed recently concluded organizational programmes and preparations for upcoming activities, with emphasis on coordination, timely execution and strengthening the party’s organizational network across Jammu and Kashmir.

A brilliant mind who studied at Netarhat Residential School and graduated in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur before earning his PhD from the University of Maryland, Dr. Ranjan chose to return to India and dedicate his life to teaching, research and social good.
