PM’s ‘Mann Ki Baat’ more popular than ‘Mahabharat’, ‘Ramayan’ soaps of the 1980s: Tripura CM

On Sunday, Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Mann Ki Baat’ programme was more popular among the masses than ‘Mahabharat’ and ‘Ramayan’ mega TV serials of the 1980s.

His assertion came after listening to the 108th episode of ‘Mann Ki Baat’ at his home constituency Town Bardowali along with party leaders and workers.

“We used to see our mothers and sisters rushing towards TV screens to watch episodes of ‘Mahabharat’ and ‘Ramayan’ soaps on Doordarshan every Sunday. Nowadays, we see our mothers and sisters rushing to listen to PM’s ‘Mann Ki Baat’ on the last Sunday of every month. This program is more popular than the soaps of the 1980s,” he said while addressing the gathering.
