PM Modi's 'Mann Ki Baat' covers various topics that inspire people and reflect the strength of India's citizens.

On Gandhi Jayanti, we are all conducting cleanliness campaigns under the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan..."
Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh: On the ongoing controversy regarding the Election Commission and SIR, former CEC O.P.

Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh: On the ongoing controversy regarding the Election Commission and SIR, former CEC O.P. Rawat says, "This is not politically motivated. The real issue is that the general public, ordinary citizens, have faced great difficulty, from Bihar to the present. Many people were unfortunately deprived of the right to vote. The decision in the appeal in West Bengal clearly shows that thousands of people were deprived of their right to vote. For any democracy, there can be no greater cause for shame than people being prevented from voting because of your process"
Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh: On the new master plan for Bhopal, BJP MP Alok Sharma says, "First of all, I congratulate the state's Chief Minister Mohan Yadav and the entire government for bringing the master plan for Bhopal. On behalf of the 27 lakh people of Bhopal, I also express my gratitude to the Chief Minister. Bhopal has needed a master plan for a long time. The master plan came in 2005, but its implementation in Bhopal could not take place due to communication gaps among several agencies. I believe this master plan has come with the spirit of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas.'..."

The city's Qazi, Khaliq-ur-Rehman, Maulana Taqi and the representative committee are handling the matter responsibly, and discussions have taken place with them. I request the police not to forcibly remove anyone or resort to lathi-charge or cane-charge. Dialogue is taking place. There is almost an agreement to remove the awnings of the shops, and the matter is also going to be heard in court. When such efforts are underway, I request Mohan Yadav ji not to order a lathi-charge and to resolve the issue through dialogue."
Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh: Congress leader PC Sharma says, "Today, Congress workers are coming from across Madhya Pradesh, and we will march to gherao the State Election Commission.

The public had been sitting there for two days, and the people who were sitting there did not do it. Who did it and how it happened will be investigated later. For now, the situation is that people should follow the appeal of the representative committee and the Qazi. Until they make an announcement, no one should hold another protest. There will be no interference with the mosque, and we will extend full cooperation."
Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh: Congress MLA Arif Masood says, "We are ready to fight in every way. We will continue our struggle until Gyanesh is sent to jail. We will fight with full strength. Gyanesh, get ready, this intimidation has gone too far. The way Congress is fighting strongly, I hope our struggle will be decisive. Rahul Gandhi has been raising these issues since the COVID-19 period and has not said anything without basis. Whatever he has said is the truth. We will take out a foot march.

Do not try to stop people from voting."
Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh: Congress leader Digvijaya Singh says, "The hotel is not accepting their proposal. This is, in itself, a case of centralisation, which has come before us with evidence.

Lakhs of people have raised objections. The Hon'ble Supreme Court has also constituted tribunals for this..."
