“Winter is on its way out. Vasant, the season of spring has just started to step into our lives.”
With these words our Prime Minister started his 29th edition of the popular radio show Mann Ki Baat. The radio program was aired amidst the two phases of election left in the Uttar Pradesh and Manipur. The Election Commission gave the government the thumbs-up to air the show.
In his last Mann Ki Baat episode, Modi addressed students of India who are going to appear for the board examinations. He urged them not to give examinations as a matter of life and death.
Today’s speech was mainly focused on the change in weather and how the winter has officially ended with spring season blooming in most parts of the country.
“My dear countrymen, Namaskar. Winter is on its way out. Vasant, the season of spring has just started to step into our lives. After the departure of PATJHAD, when old and withered leaves fall, new leaves begin to sprout on the trees. Flowers bloom. Gardens and orchards sport a verdant green. The melodious chirping of birds warms the cockles of our hearts. Not just flowers, fruits too appear to be shining bathed in the sun rays on tree branches. The flower heads of the summer fruit mango manifest themselves in the spring season itself. At the same time bright yellow flowers of mustard swaying in their fields kindle hope in the hearts of the farmers. Blossoming of bright red Jungle Flame flowers, better known as Tesu or Palash heralds the advent of Holi.”
Other than weather, PM Narendra Modi talked about many things including Beti Bachao Bedi Padhao, Digital transactions, to praising the women's team that won the Asian Rugby Seven Trophy.
