Kolkata, May 1 (). West Bengal Governor C.V. Ananda Bose on Sunday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s monthly radio program Mann Ki Baat connects people from different sections of the society like a rainbow.
This program connects two minds by acting like a rainbow, he said. But I wouldn’t call it a rainbow. Rather I would describe it as Narendra Dhanush. Just as we all have to nurture and develop our physical health, there is a need to develop one’s mental health. This is exactly what he has achieved through Mann Ki Baat at the end of the program at the Governor’s House, Kolkata on the occasion of the 100th episode of Mann Ki Baat.
In addition, a number of programs were organized at the Raj Bhavan for live telecast of the monthly event, including a sit and draw competition for school children, plantation of saplings, exhibition on various aspects of rural India and felicitation of the Padma Shri awardees at the end.
According to the Governor of West Bengal, people from backward classes living in remote rural areas of the country have also been able to speak their hearts out through Mann Ki Baat.
He said, this program gives life from darkness or light. Everyone has to think about the information disseminated through this program. Our Prime Minister is aware of the needs of the people. That’s why he is stressing on small things.
However, there was some opposition to the program as well. Saidul Lashkar, a cab driver from West Bengal who had spent his last resources to build a hospital to treat the poor in memory of the deceased, was selected to be felicitated at the event, but was prevented from receiving the award by the governor. Refused.
He said, I had thought that the picture of my struggle would be shown in the 100th episode of Mann Ki Baat. But this did not happen. In fact, no one from Bengal got a place in the programme. Therefore, I refused to accept the award.
