In the 134th edition of Mann Ki Baat, broadcast on May 31, Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged citizens to protect themselves from extreme heat, stay hydrated, and remain cautious during the summer season. He had made similar remarks after a recent Cabinet meeting and had even advised ministers to take precautions against the heat.

The moment the Prime Minister chose to discuss heat waves in Mann Ki Baat, some critics questioned the relevance of such a message. Why would the Prime Minister of a country spend valuable airtime advising people to drink water and avoid heat exposure? What larger purpose does such a message serve?

To answer that question, it is important to look at Mann Ki Baat not as a conventional political speech, but as a long-term communication platform. An analysis of the programme over the last year reveals a consistent pattern and a broader agenda.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi appears to use Mann Ki Baat as a tool to shape India's social and national priorities. Rather than announcing government schemes or engaging in political debates, the programme focuses on citizen responsibility, social participation, cultural pride, innovation, and nation-building.

Viewed in this context, the discussion on extreme heat was not merely a weather advisory. The underlying message was that challenges facing the nation cannot be addressed by the government alone. Citizens must also play an active role in responding to issues that affect society. This thinking is closely linked to Modi's recurring theme of “Jan Bhagidari” or people's participation.

Almost every episode of Mann Ki Baat highlights stories of ordinary Indians achieving extraordinary results. Whether it is a village conserving water, a young innovator solving a local problem, a woman leading social change, or an athlete bringing glory to the nation, these stories reinforce one central idea: every citizen has a role in nation-building.

An analysis of the programme over the last twelve months reveals five major messages.

 1. Viksit Bharat

The first and most prominent theme is the vision of a developed India. Modi repeatedly conveys that India is progressing not only economically but also socially and culturally towards becoming a leading nation in the world.

 2. Jan Bhagidari

The second theme is citizen participation. Development cannot be achieved by government efforts alone. It requires the active involvement of every Indian. Even the recent warning about heat waves reflects this belief that public awareness and collective action are essential.

 3. Cultural Confidence

A third recurring theme is cultural self-confidence. Mann Ki Baat frequently discusses India's traditions, festivals, local languages, heritage, and indigenous knowledge. The programme seeks to promote modernization without disconnecting from cultural roots.

 4. Youth and Innovation

The fourth theme is the role of youth in shaping India's future. Startups, young scientists, athletes, entrepreneurs, and innovators regularly feature in the programme. The message is clear: India's future growth will be driven by creativity, innovation, and youthful energy.

 5. National Pride

The fifth and perhaps broadest theme is national pride. The programme consistently encourages Indians to have confidence in their country's achievements, capabilities, culture, and global standing.

From a political communication perspective, Mann Ki Baat functions less as a platform for government announcements and more as a mechanism to influence public attitudes, behaviour, and priorities. Direct political attacks and electoral rhetoric are largely absent. Instead, the programme relies on inspirational stories, social campaigns, and positive examples to create a shared national vision.

That is why the topics discussed in Mann Ki Baat change every month, while the underlying message remains remarkably consistent.

In Gujarat, in the spheres of service and cultural heritage, Anarben Patel is an inspiring name. The daughter of former Chief Minister and current Governor of Uttar Pradesh Anandiben Patel, Anarben Patel is not merely an entrepreneur but a living example of the harmonious confluence of devotion, service and dedication. Her personality is unpretentious, naturally transparent and dedicated to service, serving as an inspiration for numerous women, artisans and especially the youth.

For Anarben, her mother Anandiben Patel is her ideal. Inspired by her mother’s spirit of service, karma yoga and dedication to society, Anarben embarked on the path of service from a young age. In 1995 she established the Gramshri Trust, which has become a means of providing economic self-reliance and dignity to women living in challenging conditions in remote areas. Under her mother’s guidance, Anarben has never chased fame or position, and her life has remained a symbol of service and dedication to this day.

Anarben’s personality is entirely unpretentious. She attaches great importance to yoga and meditation in life. While fulfilling the responsibilities of motherhood at home, managing service activities and listening to the stories of the suffering and afflicted sections of society, she always maintains balance. The simple statement that she makes her best efforts is a symbol of her humility. On no occasion does she amplify her own words, but instead advances the work of service. This unpretentious approach gives her a unique place in society.

In the Shri Khodal Dham Trust, Anarben’s devotion and spirit of service for the Patidar community remain central. In January 2026 she was entrusted with the responsibility of president of the Khodal Dham Organisation. Prior to this she was actively involved as a trustee and in the leadership of the women’s wing. In Shri Khodal Dham, the spiritual centre of the Leuva Patidar community, she is integrating devotion with service and social reform. She continuously strives to teach the youth of the community lessons in history, values, culture and unity. Her active involvement in the development of the Patidar community, women’s empowerment and social organisation is a major inspiration for the sisters and daughters of Gujarat.

Anarben’s service-oriented works are numerous and touch the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. In 1995, through Gramshri, she provided skills such as sewing, fabric work and embroidery to women in the slum areas of Ahmedabad, opening the path to economic self-reliance. Today Gramshri directly benefits more than 2,000 women. After the 2001 Kutch earthquake she undertook the reconstruction of villages such as Ludiya and Gandhinu Gam and provided employment to artisans. Through an organisation like Manav Sadhana she has also made a significant contribution to providing education and values to more than 10,000 slum children. In all these works her aim is not merely to provide assistance but to make society self-reliant and prosperous.

Anarben’s dedication to the arts is extraordinary. Craftroots is the living embodiment of this vision. Under Gramshri, Craftroots has connected more than 35,000 artisans in the last two decades and revived over 75 traditional handicrafts. By reviving dying arts such as mashru weaving and organising exhibitions in major cities of Gujarat as well as from Dubai to Mumbai, they have provided global recognition and markets to the artisans. By providing training, design workshops and economic support to women artisans, Craftroots has created an environment of respect for them in society. Anarben believes that providing employment to every artisan with honour is true service. With this dedication she is carrying forward Indian handicrafts to the next generation.

Anarben’s respect for Prime Minister Narendra Modi is consistently evident in her words and actions.

She always describes Prime Minister Modi as a karma yogi and a compassionate personality with great reverence. In her works the spirit of Nation First is clearly visible. Through Gramshri and Craftroots she is giving practical shape to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of women’s empowerment along with Atmanirbhar Bharat and the preservation of cultural heritage. Thus in her works the mantra of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas constantly resonates.

Anarben Patel is a simple, dedicated and inspiring personality whose life conveys the message that service is true devotion. Her works demonstrate how work done with a humble heart can transform society. For today’s youth, Anarben can be called an ideal who, by adopting her mother’s ideals, dedicating herself to society and making art an integral part of life, has created a new bridge of service.

Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas, Hardeep Singh Puri, recently announced that international prices for crude oil and gas have skyrocketed. Oil companies are buying raw materials at high costs, but to protect the general public from the shock of inflation, the government continues to sell petrol, diesel, and other fuels at old rates. Consequently, government oil companies are losing ₹1,000 crore every day. The total loss for this quarter is estimated to reach ₹1,00,000 crore. These figures are not just financial; they are linked to the country’s energy security and economic stability.

In this moment of crisis, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made an important appeal to the citizens. He stated, "For the progress and self-reliance of our country, we all must work together. Energy conservation is not just an individual responsibility, but a national duty." PM Modi’s appeal is in the national interest. He called upon the public to save fuel at personal and collective levels to reduce the burden of oil imports. India imports more than 85% of its crude oil. In such a situation, rising global prices put pressure on foreign exchange reserves. The PM said, "If we save a little, the country can save a lot."

PM Modi’s appeal includes practical suggestions. He requested citizens to turn off vehicle engines at traffic signals, use public transport more often, adopt energy-efficient appliances at home, and expand the use of solar energy. This appeal does not rely on government efforts alone but invites the cooperation of every citizen. Meanwhile, the government has taken various steps to protect oil companies from losses, such as subsidy systems and tax reliefs, but all of this is incomplete without public cooperation.

The importance of this appeal must be understood in the broader context of national interest. Rising oil prices affect not only oil companies but the entire economy, impacting sectors like transport, industry, and agriculture. PM Modi has repeatedly said that self-reliance in the energy sector is necessary to realize the dream of a "Self-Reliant India." For this, along with the development of renewable energy, the efficient use of current resources is essential. With public cooperation, oil imports will decrease, foreign exchange will be saved, and the financial health of oil companies will improve.

There is also an opportunity to turn this crisis into an opening. PM Modi’s appeal specifically calls upon the youth to develop new models of energy conservation through technology and innovation. By expanding biogas and solar plants in rural areas, local self-reliance can be increased. The government is also working in this direction through the Green Hydrogen Mission, promoting electric vehicles, and increasing investment for the modernization of oil companies.

PM Modi’s appeal is a call for collective awareness. While the country faces global uncertainty, every citizen's small contribution can yield big results. Stopping the losses of oil companies is not just an economic issue but a matter of national self-respect and security. We must all accept this appeal and prioritize national interest. If we save a little today, the country will become stronger tomorrow. This is the true form of "Subka Saath, Subka Vikas" (Together with all, Development for all).

It is natural for people to remember late Savjibhai Korat when they see Dr. Prashant Korat working with the same energy and dedication.

Savjibhai Korat was a well-known name among BJP workers in Saurashtra and Gujarat. Popularly known as the “Chhote Sardar of Saurashtra,” his life was dedicated to public service and social welfare. Born on August 6, 1953, in Juna Sankli village of Jetpur taluka in a farmer’s family, Savjibhai displayed leadership qualities and a spirit of service from an early age.

During his college days, he became actively involved in social work and politics and later served as the General Secretary (GS) of P.D. Malaviya College. He was elected as an MLA from the Jetpur Assembly constituency for the first time and was re-elected in 1995. He then served as Minister of State for Roads & Buildings and Panchayat in the governments led by Keshubhai Patel and Suresh Mehta. After being elected for a third term, he carried out remarkable work as a Cabinet Minister in the Roads and Buildings Department.

Savjibhai Korat was known for his fearless, hardworking, and service-oriented personality. Coming from an agricultural background, he understood the problems of ordinary people very well and worked tirelessly to solve them. During his tenure, he often conducted surprise inspections at government offices, circuit houses, and construction sites to take strict action against corruption. His anti-corruption initiatives became widely discussed across Gujarat.

He strongly believed that “work is greater than status” and remained deeply committed to development activities. His contribution in strengthening roads, bridges, and the administration of village panchayats was considered invaluable. Because of his dedication to public service, people of Jetpur and Saurashtra fondly called him “Chhote Sardar.”

Savjibhai gave great importance to public interaction. He regularly visited villages, met people directly, listened to their problems, and worked towards solutions. His active leadership and commitment inspired many young people.

On November 26, 1998, Savjibhai Korat passed away at the young age of 45, sending a wave of grief across Saurashtra. Today, hospitals, bridges, and roads have been named after him in Gujarat. Narendra Modi had also unveiled his statue. Even today, the Shri Savjibhai Korat Trust continues to organize health camps, educational initiatives, and social service activities.

Now, people see the same enthusiasm and dedication in his son, Prashant Korat. Currently serving as the General Secretary of Gujarat BJP, Dr. Prashant Korat is also known for his service-oriented personality. He actively works in health camps, public outreach programs, and organizational activities conducted by the trust.

Like his father, he is considered fearless and hardworking. He continuously strives to understand people’s issues and work toward solutions. His style of functioning also reflects Savjibhai Korat’s anti-corruption and development-focused approach.

Savjibhai Korat’s life stands as a message that true politics lies in genuine public service. Young leaders like Prashant Korat, who are inspired by their father’s ideals and dedicate themselves to serving society, are seen as a proud example of Gujarat’s identity and values.

At a time when Gujarat has received young leadership in figures like Harsh Sanghavi, BJP’s organization has also gained an energetic leader in Prashant Korat, whose active working style continues to inspire the youth of Gujarat.

In the context of escalating tensions resembling a conflict between the United States and Iran, India’s decision not to assume an active mediatory role is both appropriate and pragmatic. This decision aligns with the core principles of India’s foreign policy and diplomacy, which prioritize national economic interests above all. In the current global environment, as India moves toward becoming a developed nation, it is wise to prioritize national interests rather than getting involved in the disputes of other countries.

The foundation of India’s foreign policy lies in ‘strategic autonomy’ and ‘multi-alignment.’ Under this approach, India maintains balanced relations with all major powers without coming under the influence of any single nation. India’s ties with the United States have reached unprecedented levels, especially in trade, technology, and security sectors. According to 2025–26 data, bilateral trade exceeds $190 billion, with significant contributions from IT services, pharmaceuticals, and energy. On the other hand, India also maintains important energy-related ties with Iran. The Chabahar Port project provides India access to Central Asia and Afghanistan, facilitating trade and connectivity. Had India actively mediated in the U.S.-Iran conflict, it could have strained relations with both sides. By remaining neutral, India has safeguarded its economic and trade stability.

When a nation is progressing rapidly, getting entangled in foreign conflicts can be detrimental. Under the current government, India’s economy is moving swiftly toward becoming the world’s third-largest. GDP growth is above 7%, foreign direct investment (FDI) is increasing, and the manufacturing sector is strengthening through initiatives like ‘Make in India.’ In such a scenario, active involvement in geopolitical conflicts could disrupt economic goals. Taking sides could impact oil imports, leading to inflation and industrial losses. Therefore, prioritizing national interest is the right approach. This strategy also helped India remain neutral during the Russia-Ukraine crisis, benefiting from discounted oil imports.

Working towards global peace and humanity is an integral part of India’s national policy. In the long run, this approach will prove beneficial. By upholding the principle of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam,’ India advocated for developing nations at the G20. This policy has earned India global respect and opened new avenues for trade and investment. Actively contributing to global peace while not becoming a party to conflicts is the ideal balanced approach that will strengthen India economically.

Notably, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s global acceptance plays a key role in this equation. His personal rapport with world leaders has helped India secure a leading position in strategic forums such as QUAD, I2U2, and IMEC. Engagements with the U.S. have enhanced technology transfer and investments, while ties with Middle Eastern nations have created new opportunities in energy and logistics. This diplomacy ensures that India is not dependent on any one bloc but stands as an independent and strong global partner.

It can be clearly stated that India’s neutrality on the U.S.-Iran issue is not a weakness but a reflection of its mature foreign policy. This approach keeps the nation firmly on its path of economic progress, contributes to global peace, and safeguards humanitarian values. As India advances toward its goal of becoming a developed nation by 2047, such pragmatic and interest-driven foreign policy will be key to achieving success. This approach will also ensure India’s global respect and economic prosperity.

Today’s youth thirst for inspiration in their lives. They need someone who says “It is only through service that life becomes meaningful.” Dilipbhai Deshmukh is exactly such an inspiring person. His life is an open book for the youth from which there is much to learn and even more to follow.

Dilipbhai’s journey began as an ordinary volunteer. As a pracharak of the RSS he dedicated his entire life. Leaving behind home family and personal comforts he constantly engaged in the service of society. This journey was not an easy path. It involved renunciation struggle and unwavering commitment. But he never looked back. His footsteps inspired many young people and they too advanced on the path of service. Today they provide successful leadership in various fields.

In the devastating earthquake of Kutch in 2001 Dilipbhai’s contribution can never be forgotten. When the earthquake-affected area was filled only with sorrow and darkness he reached the field directly. Helping people transporting the injured to hospitals distributing relief materials and igniting a ray of hope among the people he did all this relentlessly. His work secured a permanent place in the hearts of the people of Kutch. This incident clearly showed that in times of crisis service is the true path.

Dilipbhai also remained a close associate of Prime Minister Narendra bhai Modi. This relationship is not merely personal but one of shared ideology and action. There was a common spirit of service and nation-building between the two. 

Dilipbhai’s greatest speciality is guiding the youth onto the path of service. He holds the hands of many youths and provides them guidance in the direction of service. Not merely by giving speeches but by setting an example through his own life. When youths come to him he explains to them that “Service is not some task; it is an integral part of life.”

There was also a difficult time in his life. On 10 July 2020 he underwent a liver transplant at the Institute of Kidney Diseases and Research Centre (IKDRC) in Ahmedabad. His health improved with the liver received from organ donation and he gained a new life. After this surgery he became a full-time active servant of organ donation awareness. Through the “Angdan Charitable Trust” he spreads awareness across Gujarat and explains to the youth that even after death the organs of the body can give life to others. His experience has taught the youth that even struggle can be transformed into service.

Even today in the year 2026 Dilipbhai’s life remains continuously dedicated to service. There is no pause no expectations only service and service. Today when the youth get lost in mobiles wealth and personal ambitions his life becomes a beacon. He says that “It is only through service that a person truly lives.”

Personalities like Dilipbhai Deshmukh remind us that the true meaning of life lies in service. For the youth he is a fountain of inspiration. Anyone who looks closely at his life will realise that even today in this country there are service-oriented people from whom we can learn a lot. Dilipbhai’s life conveys just one message: serve keep serving and make life meaningful.

At one time, Congress was not just a political platform but the center of India’s ideology. Great leaders like Mahatma Gandhi and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel were associated with the party. After the formation of Gujarat in 1960, Congress remained in power almost continuously until 1995. Leaders such as Morarji Desai and K. M. Munshi played key roles in the state government. During this period, Congress contributed significantly to social reforms, agriculture, and industrial development. Ahmedabad also hosted AICC sessions that helped shape national politics.

In 1995, Bharatiya Janata Party came to power, marking the beginning of Congress’s decline. Since 1998, BJP has maintained continuous control. Internal conflicts within Congress, unfulfilled promises on social justice, and its inability to align with narratives like Hindutva and development weakened the party. During Narendra Modi’s tenure as Chief Minister (2001–2014), the “Gujarat Model” strengthened BJP’s position across India. Many Congress leaders and workers switched to BJP.

In the 2017 assembly elections, Congress slightly improved its seat count, but in 2022 it was reduced to just 17 seats, while BJP won 156. In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Congress secured only one seat in Banaskantha. The main reasons for this decline include internal divisions, demoralized workers, and loss of public support.

In 2025, an AICC session was held in Ahmedabad after 64 years, seen as an attempt to revive the party. Gujarat Congress president Amit Chavda launched the “Jan Aakrosh Yatra” criticizing BJP’s policies, but the ground reality remains tough. During his Gujarat visit in 2025, Rahul Gandhi said that party workers are divided into two groups—one dedicated to public service and another allegedly aligned with BJP. He stated, “Half of the workers are working for BJP.”

Lack of strong leadership, absence of active central guidance, and weak organizational structure have left workers disheartened. Public support has also shifted away from Congress. Though a few experienced senior leaders remain, they largely rely on their past legacy.

Congress’s biggest challenge is to rebuild leadership and regain public trust. If it can strengthen its organization, energize its workers, and reconnect with the people, it may stage a comeback. Experience remains its key asset, but it needs fresh energy and clear leadership to make it effective.

While Congress is unlikely to perform well in the upcoming local body elections, it may still have a chance to recover if it works hard before the 2027 assembly elections.

BJP workers are known for their unique dedication. They are not just members but act as the backbone of the party. From villages to big cities, millions of workers set aside their personal work, businesses, and even family responsibilities to serve the party. During elections, they work day and night at the booth level, going door-to-door to meet voters, listen to their concerns, and try to solve their problems.

 Their dedication goes beyond elections. During crises like COVID-19, earthquakes, floods, and other natural disasters, these workers actively participate in relief work. Distributing aid, helping people, and maintaining public trust are part of their daily efforts. Because of such work, the party’s symbol “lotus” has become more than just a symbol—it represents ideology and trust beyond any individual candidate.

In terms of organization, BJP is one of the largest and most well-structured political parties in the world. Its structure operates at three levels: booth, mandal, and district/state. Each booth has a dedicated team that tracks voter lists, their needs, and feedback. The party has also strengthened its network using modern technology. Platforms like the NaMo App allow direct communication with workers. This strong organization ensures that even if candidates change, the party’s vote base remains stable. 

This dedication and organizational strength have led BJP to repeated electoral victories. The results were clearly visible in the 2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha elections, as well as in various state assembly elections. Due to teamwork and a spirit of service, the party’s reach has expanded to almost every household. In states like Gujarat, the organization is so strong that thousands of workers voluntarily participate in even small events.

From a neutral perspective, this success is driven by the training, dedication, and continuous guidance given to workers. The party shapes their understanding of its ideology and encourages them to remain active and honest in their work. This strength is not limited to one party—it also reflects the unity of Indian democracy. The enthusiasm and discipline of BJP workers serve as an inspiration for other political parties.

In conclusion, the dedication and organizational strength of BJP workers make them stand out. Their working style not only brings electoral success but also inspires social service. It is because of the efforts of millions of such dedicated and often unknown workers that the “lotus” symbol has found a place in the hearts of millions. This model of organization and commitment stands as an example for political parties, leaders, and workers across India.

When a person begins to live not just for himself but for the entire society, he grows beyond being an individual and becomes an institution. One such inspiring figure is Vallabhbhai Savani, lovingly known as “Bapuji” by the Saurashtra Patidar community.

After achieving success in the diamond and real estate businesses, he used his wealth not just for his family but for the better future of society. This marked the beginning of his remarkable journey of social service.

Vallabhbhai Savani once said that he could not pursue higher education, but instead of treating it as a weakness, he turned it into motivation to help others. At a time when getting admission to good schools in Surat was difficult, he started P.P. Savani School in Varachha in 1987 with just 287 students.

Today, that small beginning has grown into a large educational network. The P.P. Savani Group runs 9 schools and a university established in 2017 with around 14 departments. So far, nearly 1 million students have studied in these institutions, and currently, around 10,000 to 15,000 students are enrolled. These are not just numbers—they represent thousands of families whose futures have been transformed.

Bapuji’s vision goes beyond education. To prepare students for employment, he started a training center in 2003 for competitive exams like GPSC and UPSC. Many students from this center have gone on to become officers such as SPs, collectors, and other government officials.

Understanding that healthcare is as important as education, he also established a hospital, which has served an estimated over 2 million patients. This highlights the scale and impact of his services.

As a fatherly figure, after contributing to education, healthcare, and employment, he also addressed the social need of marriage support. He began organizing mass marriages, especially for orphaned girls. Inspired by him, his son Mahesh Savani has helped arrange marriages for over 5,000 girls.

Some people see Vallabhbhai as a strong and bold personality who gets things done even outside the system if needed. However, it is clear that all his efforts—whether within or outside the system—have ultimately benefited society, not just himself.

He believes that dreams should be planted, not buried. He has not only turned his own dreams into a strong tree but has also helped create a beautiful garden of dreams for millions, which will continue to spread happiness for years to come.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced in the Lok Sabha that Naxalism has been almost completely eradicated from various parts of the country. Notably, this objective has been achieved even before the pre-determined deadline of March 31, 2026. This is not an ordinary accomplishment—it is a historic victory for the nation.

Amit Shah had repeatedly emphasized that “Naxalism must be eliminated,” and he has now fulfilled that commitment. During nearly 60 years of Congress rule, tribal communities faced neglect—their land, water, and development needs were overlooked. Naxal groups took advantage of this situation to expand their influence. However, after 2014, the BJP government adopted a combined model of strong security measures and accelerated development.

The results are remarkable: the number of Naxal-affected districts has come down significantly from 125 to just 6. Today, these regions are witnessing an atmosphere of peace and stability.

This achievement is not merely symbolic—it represents a transformation in the lives of tribal communities. Areas that once echoed with the sounds of guns and explosions are now seeing rapid development in the form of roads, schools, hospitals, and infrastructure. Tribal citizens are gaining access to their rights and are increasingly becoming part of the country’s mainstream growth.

Under the leadership of Amit Shah, the Ministry of Home Affairs has effectively coordinated security forces with development initiatives. The results of this integrated strategy are now clearly visible. This is not just about one region—it is about strengthening the internal security of the entire nation.

The government led by Narendra Modi had promised that no internal threat would be allowed to hinder India’s progress, and today, that promise is steadily being fulfilled.
