The 127th episode of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s monthly radio address 'Mann Ki Baat' was observed with reverence and enthusiasm across Tripura on Sunday. 

 

A special gathering was organized at Booth No. 4 of the 9-Banamalipur Assembly Constituency, where Minister Sushanta Chowdhury joined party workers and local residents to listen to the broadcast.

 

Speaking at the event, Minister Chowdhury emphasized the significance of Mann Ki Baat as a platform that not only connects the Prime Minister with the people but also reinforces national unity and cultural pride. “Every last Sunday of the month, we listen to Mann Ki Baat with due respect, and today’s 127th episode was no exception,” he said.

 

Chowdhury highlighted the Prime Minister’s message celebrating India’s festive spirit, where diverse states celebrate their traditions with pride while remaining united under the larger fabric of national integrity. “Despite regional differences in customs and cultures, the Prime Minister’s words bring every state together, honouring our shared heritage and strengthening the bond of unity,” he noted.

 

The Transport and Tourism Minister also drew attention to key themes from the broadcast, including the emphasis on self-reliance, women and youth empowerment, and the promotion of indigenous products under the ‘Vocal for Local’ initiative. “The Prime Minister continues to inspire us with ideas on how to develop our states and expand business opportunities,” he added.

 

In a special segment, PM Modi paid tribute to the national song Vande Mataram, calling it a symbol of India’s grandeur and urging citizens to commemorate its 150th year by upholding its values. He also praised grassroots initiatives across the country—from mangrove restoration in Gujarat to Garbage Cafes in Chhattisgarh and lake revival efforts in Bengaluru.

 

Chowdhury further remarked on the transformation of the Northeast under the current government. “The Northeast was once isolated, but today, through the Prime Minister’s Mann Ki Baat and the visionary Look East Policy, Tripura and the entire region are progressing rapidly under the double-engine government,” he said.
