After Mann ki Baat, it's now CM ki Baat

May 21, 2017 20:23

Jharkhand Chief Minister Raghubar Das is likely to start a radio address on the lines of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Mann ki Baat' -- an idea which is expected to be emulated by other states as well.

The idea of a 'CM Ki Baat' was discussed during a recent meeting of Information and Broadcasting Minister M Venkaiah Naidu with Das in Ranchi.

It is learnt that an MoU will be signed between the Jharkhand government, the All India Radio and Doordarshan for the programme.

"The Mann ki Baat concept has attracted some state governments who have started thinking of having their own programmes on the same lines," an official said.

Like the Prime Minister Modi, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh also addresses people through radio.
