In a bid to counter Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi's "Mann ki Baat" monthly radio talk, the Indian National Congress is starting its "Desh ki Baat" programme from Saturday (26 October) and will telecast it live on social media platforms.
The first episode, to roll from 11 am on Saturday, will be done by party spokesperson Pawan Khera.
Earlier, Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit had started "Kaam Ki Baat" with the motive of giving a point-wise rebuttal raised by the Prime Minister in his "Mann ki Baat". But, later, Dikshit discontinued it and now often makes videos to counter the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s narrative.
