‘Kedarnath trip was to meet my inner self and not for politics’: PM Modi in 1st Mann Ki Baat after polls

Prime Minister Narendra Modi replied to controversies over his Kedarnath trip and last Mann ki baat address apart from reminding his listeners of the importance of upholding democracy that was trampled during Emergency, reading books and water conservation among others.
He started with a clarification on his trip to Kedarnath shrine during the polls. He said it was not a political trip but an opportunity for him to meet himself.
“Most people saw political meaning in it, but for me, it was an opportunity to meet my inner self. In one way it helped me fill the void left by Mann ki baat in the interim,” PM said
He also rejected allegations that he had used last Mann ki Baat in February — last one before the 2019 Lok Sabha polls– to make a poll pitch.
“People had even given political meaning to my last “Mann ki Baat,” when I promised to see you on the programme after the polls. Critics called it ‘over confidence’ but it was your confidence that has aided my return. I couldn’t have come back on my own unless you invited me,” he said.
PM chose to talk about the Emergency in 1977 and how fundamental rights were trampled during this period to emphasise the importance of polls in upholding democracy. “Every citizen during the Emergency felt like he had lost something,” he said.
“Democracy is about respecting every single voter,” he said, recounting how electoral officers had to travel for two days to set up a polling booth for a single woman in a remote Himachal village.

Delhi, India – Chaos ensues as the Ashram Flyover becomes a traffic nightmare for commuters in the city. But fear not, as a group of marshals has been deployed to restore order and bring some sense to the madness.
The Ashram Flyover, a major artery in the bustling metropolis of Delhi, has been a headache for commuters for quite some time now. The flyover, which connects the city’s south and central areas, sees heavy traffic congestion during peak hours, causing long delays and frayed nerves.
But things have taken a spicy turn as marshals have been brought in to keep things under control. These marshals, donning bright green jackets, have been tasked with managing the traffic flow, ensuring that vehicles move smoothly and without incident.
The marshals have their work cut out for them, as the chaos on the flyover seems to have no end in sight. The heavy traffic, coupled with the city’s notorious lack of lane discipline, has resulted in a free-for-all on the flyover, with vehicles jostling for space and tempers flaring.
But the marshals are undeterred. Armed with whistles and hand signals, they are determined to bring some order to the chaos. And their efforts seem to be paying off, as traffic has started moving more smoothly, and the honking and shouting have reduced considerably.
