BJP National President Nitin Nabin Attends Mann Ki Baat Screening in Ahmedabad
During his three-day visit to Gujarat, BJP national president Nitin Nabin participated in a special event with party workers at Desai Ni Pol in Ahmedabad on Sunday. The gathering was organized to watch the live broadcast of the 113th episode of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's popular radio programme, Mann Ki Baat. This interactive session highlighted the party's grassroots engagement and commitment to community outreach.
A Memorable Experience in PM Modi's Constituency
In a statement released by the state BJP, Nabin expressed his profound sentiments about the occasion. He described watching the programme in the Khadia locality as a memorable and unforgettable experience. "Being present in Khadia, on the land of PM Modi, and watching ‘Mann Ki Baat' with booth workers is a memorable and unforgettable experience," he remarked. Khadia holds significance as part of Prime Minister Modi's former parliamentary constituency, adding a layer of symbolic importance to the event.
Post-Broadcast Interactions and Honors
Following the conclusion of the Mann Ki Baat broadcast, Nitin Nabin engaged directly with the local community. He met residents of the ‘pol’ (a traditional neighborhood) and family members of party workers, accepting greetings and fostering personal connections. In a notable gesture, Nabin honored a sanitation worker present at the venue by draping his own ‘khes’—a type of cotton cloth—over him. This act was accompanied by words of appreciation for the worker's dedicated service, underscoring the party's emphasis on recognizing contributions at all levels.

The event saw the attendance of several high-ranking BJP officials, reinforcing its importance within the party's organizational framework. Those present included:
- Gujarat BJP president Jagdish Vishwakarma
- BJP general secretary (organization) B L Santhosh
- State general secretary (organization) Ratnakarji
- Other prominent party members and workers
Gujarat BJP president Jagdish Vishwakarma highlighted the unique aspect of the gathering, stating that having booth, ward, city, state, and national presidents together for such a programme is a feat achievable only within the BJP. This comment reflects the party's structured hierarchy and collective participation in key initiatives.
Significance of the Event
This screening event in Ahmedabad not only served as a platform for party unity but also demonstrated the BJP's strategy of leveraging Mann Ki Baat to strengthen local ties. By involving workers from various organizational levels, the party aims to enhance engagement and morale ahead of upcoming political activities. The presence of national and state leaders in a community setting underscores a hands-on approach to leadership and outreach.
The 113th episode of Mann Ki Baat continues to be a cornerstone of the government's communication efforts, addressing diverse topics and connecting with citizens across India.
