New Delhi: Congress on Wednesday demanded Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s radio show “Mann ki Baat” must be stopped till the Bihar elections are over. However, sources in the Election Commission told a news channel that the show cannot be stopped.

According to reports, the Congress is citing the Model Code of Conduct, which is presently in place for the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections, as the reason for opposing the ‘Mann Ki Baat’ program.

Modi urged people to record voice messages for Mann Ki Baat. The next edition of the programme will be broadcast this Sunday.

In a tweet, Modi said, it is interesting effort by @mygovindia, which enables listeners to join this week’s Mann Ki Baat programme.

Urging the people to continue sending messages, Modi said that he had heard some of the voice messages and they were unique.

The My Gov platform, had earlier invited people to record messages in either Hindi or English, for Mann Ki Baat on the toll-free number 1800 3000 7800.
