In light of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday (February 25) announced during the 110th episode of his monthly radio programme, 'Mann Ki Baat,' that the show will be put on hold for the next three months. Emphasizing the importance of maintaining political decorum during the election period, the Prime Minister expressed that the temporary pause in the telecast aligns with this principle.

The suspension of 'Mann Ki Baat' is in adherence to the principle of political neutrality during the Lok Sabha elections. PM Modi urged first-time voters to actively participate in the electoral process, encouraging them to cast their votes in record numbers. An official announcement regarding the national elections is anticipated next month.

Additionally, PM Modi appealed to the audience to share YouTube shorts featuring highlights from 'Mann Ki Baat' episodes. This move aims to sustain engagement and interaction during the hiatus, keeping the spirit of communication alive even in the absence of the regular radio broadcasts.
