New Delhi, Mar 25 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday addressed the 42nd edition of his monthly radio programme 'Mann ki Baat', where he hailed Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar aand said he is an inspiration to the poor.

Addressing citizens, PM Modi said: "In the mid-40s, the world was talking about World War II, the Cold War and divisions, but one man, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar was talking about unity, Team India and cooperative federalism."

"For people like us, who belong to the poor and backward sections of society, Dr. Ambedkar is our inspiration," said he.

Modi also said that in this year's budget to ensure adequate returns to farmers, the government decided to give at least one-and-a-half times the input costs as MSP for the scheduled crops.

He said: "Great people like Mahatma Gandhi, Lal Bahadur Shastri ji, Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Ji, Chaudhary Charan Singh Ji and Chaudhary Devi Lal ji spoke about the importance of agriculture and welfare of farmers."
