New Delhi, Jan 25: Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the 130th episode of his monthly radio programme 'Mann Ki Baat' on Sunday, saying a voter is the soul of democracy.
Addressing the countrymen on the first radio-talk of the year, the Prime Minister said that being a voter is both a privilege and a responsibility in a democracy.
Underlining the National Voters' Day, he further said that when a young person becomes a voter for the first time, the entire neighbourhood, village or city should come together to congratulate them and distribute sweets. Such gestures, he said, would help raise awareness about voting and reinforce the importance of being an active voter.
In the 130th episode of ‘Mann Ki Baat’, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, "This is the first 'Mann Ki Baat' of the year 2026. Tomorrow, on 26 January, we will all celebrate Republic Day. It was on this day that our Constitution came into force. The day of 26 January gives us an opportunity to pay tribute to the makers of our Constitution. Today, 25 January, is also a very important day. Today is 'National Voters' Day'.
