Raipur, Chhattisgarh: BJP Rajya Sabha MP Laxmi Verma says, “Today, during ‘Mann Ki Baat’ in Abhanpur, our in-charge Smriti Irani ji, the Chief Minister of the state, BJP workers and a large number of members of the general public were present. Khadi has been an important part of India’s history. Through small-scale and cottage industries, the local economy is strengthened, and the question is how we can revive them. In every episode of ‘Mann Ki Baat’, Modi ji highlights small initiatives in remote areas, whether related to development, the economy or self-employment.

The Modi government is continuously working to promote them and help them progress. There is also a message for the general public that local artisans should get employment, and as I was talking about our economy, this was also a message from Modi ji. I urge everyone to support local artisans this Diwali. Our potter brothers depend on this work for their livelihood, so please promote them and buy diyas from them.”
