On maiden Mann Ki Baat of 2019, PM lauds EC role in strengthening democracy

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday – on his first radio broadcast ‘Mann Ki Baat’ programme of the year 2019 – lauded the role of the Election Commission in conducting elections successfully at such a high scale and said the conduct of polls in the country should make every Indian feel proud about it.

“The manner in which the Election Commission conducts elections in India, it is natural for all Indians to feel proud about it,” said Prime Minister in his monthly radio broadcast ‘Mann Ki Baat’ through All India Radio.

It is really appreciable that all out efforts are made by the country’s poll panel to ensure that each and every voter in the country can exercise their franchise, he said. In this context, Mr Modi said efforts are made and all arrangements are ensured and often poling stations are set up so that even a single voter in a remote corner of the country can exercise his or her democratic rights.(UNI)
