PM Modi resumes 'Mann Ki Baat', speaks of a new campaign to honour mothers
New Delhi/IBNS: Prime Minister Narendra Modi Sunday resumed his monthly radio programme, 'Mann ki Baat', days after taking the oath of office for a third consecutive term.
PM Modi's last 'Mann Ki Baat' was aired on February 25, before the poll schedule was announced.
The Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance won 292 seats and prevailed over the Opposition alliance, INDIA, which bagged 232 seats.
In Sunday's 'Mann ki Baat', PM Modi called the 2024 general election the biggest in the world stating: "Such a big election has never taken place in any country in the world. More than 65 crore people voted in the election."
He also thanked voters for re-electing the NDA in the elections.
"People reposed their unbreakable trust in the Constitution and democratic process in the Lok Sabha elections," he said.
The Lok Sabha elections were held from April 19 to June 1 in mammoth seven phases. The counting took place on June 4.
PM Modi spoke about the Centre's new campaign - 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam' - to honour mothers by planting a tree. "I have also planted a tree in the name of my mother and I have appealed to all the countrymen to plant a tree to honour their mothers," he said.
The Prime Minister also spoke about Indian athletes who will be competing in the Paris Olympics next month.
He noted that Indian athletes have participated in more than 900 international competitions.
The country expects its players to put up an excellent performance in the Paris Olympics, he said while urging the people to use the 'cheer4Bharat' hashtag to motivate them.
