The Congress on Sunday questioned Narendra Modi’s silence over current burning issues like the Adani row and the ongoing wrestlers’ protest at the Prime Minister’s monthly radio show ‘Mann Ki Baat’ marked its 100^th episode today.

In a snide jibe at PM Modi, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said that even though the 100^th episode of ‘Mann Ki Baat’ is being heralded with great fanfare today, but on critical issues like China, Adani, increasing economic inequalities, price rise of essential commodities, terror attacks in J&K, insults to women wrestlers, etc, its “Maun Ki Baat” (silence) from the Prime Minister’s side.

In a tweet ahead of the radio program’s airing, Ramesh said in a tweet: “Today is FekuMaster Special. The 100th day of Mann ki Baat is being heralded with great fanfare. But it is Maun ki Baat on crucial issues like China, Adani, increasing economic inequalities, price rise of essential commodities, terror attacks in J&K, insults to women wrestlers, non-fulfilment of promises made to farmer organisations, corruption in so-called double-engine state governments like Karnataka, conmen with close links to BJP, etc.”

The senior Congress leader claimed that IIM Rohtak did a “doctored” study on PM Modi’s “Mann Ki Baat” and its impact on society, while the academic credentials of the institution’s own Director have been under the scanner and questioned by the Union Ministry of Education itself.

The Congress on its official Twitter handle reiterated Ramesh’s jibe at PM Modi, claiming that he has remained silent on issues such as Chinese aggression, unemployment, price rise, charges against industrialist Gautam Adani’s business conglomerate and women’s security.

PM Modi’s “Mann Ki Baat”, which has become a shining example of social connect between the Prime Minister and the masses since its inception, today marked its 100^th episode which was also broadcasted live at the United Nations headquarters in New York.

Speaking on the historic episode of the radio programme, PM Modi said that ‘Mann Ki Baat’ has become the ‘Mann Ki Baat’ of crores of Indians and is an expression of their feelings, adding that the monthly broadcast has ensured he remains in touch with the people of the country.

Terming the radio programme a “spiritual journey” through which he found a solution to connect with the citizens, PM Modi said that ‘Mann Ki Baat’ has become a festival celebrating the country’s people and their positivity.
