Mann Ki Baat inspires, rekindles confidence across nation: BJP leaders laud PM Modi's 124th episode
Union Minister of State Sukanta Majumdar lauded the Prime Minister for remembering Bengal's revolutionary legacy.
"In this Mann ki Baat Prime Minister mentioned so many things, especially in the context of Bengal. I would like to thank the Prime Minister, he named Khudiram Bose," Majumdar said, highlighting the recognition of Bengal's freedom fighters and their contribution to India's Independence.
Echoing the sentiment, Union Minister of State Harsh Malhotra praised the continuity and global uniqueness of the programme.
"Since its inception, he has been speaking to the people on the last Sunday of every month without fail. This is truly unprecedented globally. Staying connected with the people and discussing even the smallest matters," Malhotra noted, underscoring how Mann Ki Baat has become a consistent platform for grassroots dialogue.
BJP MP Bansuri Swaraj said the programme was helping rebuild India's national confidence. "The British rule tried to break India's self-confidence. PM Narendra Modi's Mann Ki Baat is an optimistic program that inspires the youth and rekindles confidence across the nation," she said.
During the episode, Prime Minister Modi focused on the Swachh Bharat Mission, describing it as a powerful symbol of collective national will.
"Sometimes a task comes across as impossible to some people... But when the country comes together on one thought, even the impossible becomes possible. 'Swachh Bharat Mission' is the biggest example of this," he said, adding that the mission, which will soon complete 11 years, remains just as relevant and necessary today.
Calling the movement a 'true mass movement', the Prime Minister noted that public participation has made it successful. He pointed out that the annual Swachh Survekshan continues to encourage people to take ownership of their local environments and keep them clean.
As Mann Ki Baat continues its journey into its second decade, it remains a key initiative connecting the Prime Minister directly with the people, offering inspiration, encouragement, and national purpose, one Sunday at a time.

While in power AIADMK surrendered T.N.'s autonomy by backing Centre's policies: Stalin
DMK president and Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Sunday charged the AIADMK with having 'surrendered' Tamil Nadu's autonomy during its previous rule by supporting the Centre's policies such as the NEET and the UDAY scheme. He accused AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami of 'betraying' the people of Tamil Nadu by aligning with the BJP. In a letter to his party cadre, Mr. Stalin alleged that the BJP-led government at the Centre allocated meagre funding to Tamil, the first language in India to be recognised as a Classical Language, while allocating several crores of rupees for Sanskrit. 'Through the National Education Policy, 2020, the Centre attempts to impose Hindi. The scientifically established cultural glory of Tamils, based on the findings of the Keeladi excavation, is being deliberately withheld by the Union Government,' he said. Mr. Stalin urged the cadre to honour the legacy of DMK patriarch and former Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi by participating in a tribute rally on August 7, the latter's death anniversary, towards his memorial at Marina beach in Chennai and to pledge their commitment to securing victory in the 2026 Assembly election. Recalling Karunanidhi's initiatives for the uplift of the poor and society as a whole, he said: 'Carrying forward his legacy, our Dravidian Model government has implemented schemes such as the Kalaignar Magalir Urimai Thittam, Naan Mudhalvan, Pudhumai Penn, Makkalai Thedi Maruthuvam, and Innuyir Kappom. Several States across the country have followed our initiative.'

Gujarat Confidential: ‘Not an ideal situation'
While the Gujarat unit of the BJP is being handled by its president C R Paatil, who is also the Union Minister for Jal Shakti, the district and city units of the party, as per sources in the party, are in an 'unusual situation'. The new district and city units of the party have been appointed, but they are functioning with old teams. Sources said that the new district and city unit chiefs have been instructed by the party not to choose new teams till the state unit gets a new president. 'This creates a strange situation as the new chiefs have been appointed, but they have to work with the teams appointed by their predecessors — which is not an ideal situation,' a party source said. Omar on SoU visit Jammu & Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has steered clear of a question on 'very less' leaders from the opposition visiting the Statue of Unity (SoU) in Gujarat, while stating that he does not bring politics in such matters. Abdullah recently visited the SoU, a 182-metre tall statue of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, during his trip to the state. Replying to a question on the issue, Abdullah said, 'I do not bring politics in such matters. It (SoU) has been built and it is good. It is worth seeing. I liked it. Why should I bring politics in it? Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel did not belong to just one political party, but the entire country. I was taught in school that he was awarded the title of 'Iron Man of India' and not Iron Man of any political party.'
