    Digital Desk: A single word to describe this amazing pair While returning to his monthly radio show Mann Ki Baat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi thanked voters on Sunday for re-electing the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) administration and expressed gratitude for their "unwavering faith" in the Constitution. 

    After being re-elected to a third term, PM Modi's Mann Ki Baat program began today. It serves as a forum for him to speak with the public directly on important matters.

    According to PM Modi, citizens have "unbreakable trust" in the electoral process and the Constitution.

    "Today I also thank the countrymen that they have reiterated their unwavering faith in our Constitution and the democratic system of the country. The Lok Sabha election 2024 was the biggest election in the world. Such a big election has never been held in any country of the world in which 65 crore people cast their votes," the Prime Minister said.

    He said that even though the Mann Ki Baat broadcasts were stopped for a few months, the nation's spirit persisted. In addition, Prime Minister Modi said he had "missed the communication" since the previous episode, which was suspended on February 25 because of the election process. 

    "Today, finally, the day has come for which we were all waiting since February... Mann Ki Baat radio program might have been closed for a few months... but the spirit of Mann Ki Baat... work done for the country, the society, good work done every day, work done with selfless spirit... work that had a positive impact on society continued unabated," the prime minister stated.

    He added that everyone should use the hashtag 'cheer4Bharat' to inspire the athletes, saying that the nation expects them to perform brilliantly at the Olympics. 

    "Next month at this time, the Paris Olympics would get underway. You're all probably expecting to applaud the Indian players as well. My best wishes are with the Indian delegation for the upcoming Olympics. We can still clearly recall the Tokyo Olympics because every Indian was moved by the players' performances. Our athletes have been training for the Olympics in Paris ever since," PM Modi stated in his monthly address.

    In addition, he talked about the observance of International Yoga Day, the success of Indian films abroad, and the advancements in afforestation, among other things. 

    Since its introduction in October 2014, Mann Ki Baat has given the Prime Minister a direct line of communication with the public, enabling him to address a range of subjects including policy initiatives, national concerns, and motivational speeches. 

    Reaching a vast audience through more than 500 broadcast centers of All India Radio, it is transmitted in 22 Indian languages and 29 dialects along with 11 other languages, such as French, Chinese, and Arabic.
