JAMMU, Jun 28: The BJP OBC Morcha on Sunday organised a large-scale listening programme for the 135th episode of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s monthly radio programme, Mann Ki Baat, across booths in Jammu and Kashmir. The main event for District Jammu was held at New Plot, Ward No. 17, Amphalla Mandal, where party workers, office bearers, and local residents assembled to hear the Prime Minister’s address.
The programme was attended by Braham Jyot Satti, State President of BJP OBC Morcha, Jammu and Kashmir, as the chief guest. Prominent among those present were Arun Sethi, District President BJP OBC Morcha Jammu; Rakesh Pandey, District Vice President; Rajesh Verma, District General Secretary, besides OBC Morcha karyakartas, local residents, and party supporters. The event was organised by Rakesh Pandey.
During the broadcast, Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted India’s resilience and unity during the recent crisis in West Asia, appreciating the coordinated efforts of Indian citizens, diplomats, and various government agencies in ensuring the safety and well-being of Indians abroad. He described the response as a reflection of the country’s collective strength and determination.
The Prime Minister also spoke about India’s growing self-reliance in the defence and aviation sectors. Referring to the successful maiden flight of the indigenously manufactured C-295 transport aircraft and the induction of advanced indigenous naval assets, including INS Dunagiri, he expressed confidence that India would soon witness domestically manufactured civil passenger aircraft taking to the skies.
Highlighting the government’s social security initiatives, Modi said that the Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana and Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana have together benefited crores of citizens, with financial assistance exceeding ₹25,700 crore reaching affected families across the country.
He also stressed environmental conservation by praising Meghalaya’s living root bridges, recently nominated for UNESCO World Heritage status, and urged citizens to reduce plastic pollution by adopting eco-friendly practices. The Prime Minister encouraged people to use clay idols during the upcoming Ganesh festivities and also shared examples of growing global interest in Indian culture, including Spanish-speaking citizens in the Dominican Republic learning Vedic literature and chanting Indian mantras.
Addressing the gathering after the broadcast, Braham Jyot Satti said that Mann Ki Baat has evolved into a powerful platform connecting the Prime Minister directly with the people while inspiring citizens to actively participate in nation-building.
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision motivates every citizen to contribute towards building a stronger, self-reliant, cleaner and more compassionate India. Whether it is promoting indigenous manufacturing, protecting the environment, empowering the poor through welfare schemes or preserving our rich cultural heritage, every message carries a meaningful lesson for society. BJP OBC Morcha is committed to taking these messages to every household and ensuring that the spirit of public service, social harmony and national development reaches every section of society,” Satti said.
He urged party workers to translate the Prime Minister’s messages into meaningful grassroots action by strengthening public awareness campaigns, promoting cleanliness, encouraging environmental conservation, supporting social welfare initiatives and working with dedication towards the vision of Viksit Bharat.
