Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the nation with his 12th edition of "Mann ki Baat" on Sunday. Meanwhile the opposition parties are up in arms against PM Modi's radio show saying that the show should be banned till the elections in Bihar are completed.
Congress had earlier requested Election Commission to stop Modi's radio show, fearing that it can be used to garner popular support for his party before the state assembly elections.
Congress's request was turned down by the Election Commission, "...the Commission has no objection to the broadcast of the programme 'Mann ki Baat' over All India Radio on September 20, 2015 and the pre-broadcast publicity through different channels of AIR and Doordarshan subject to the condition that nothing be said therein that may be construed as inducement to voters or as having any impact in election-bound state of Bihar where the Model Code of Conduct is in force from September 9 to November 12, 2015," EC's Principal Secretary K Ajaya Kumar said in the order addressed to I and B Ministry Special Secretary J S Mathur.
