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.
Congress' Social Media head Rohan Gupta said that "Desh Ki Baat" will address the concerns of the common man and question the government on their failures, unmet promises and crucial public issues like the economy, agrarian crisis, rising prices, alarming statistics on crime, unemployment and much more.
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.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
