Highlights of the Speech on Sunday Sep 19,2015:

• My fellow citizens, this is 12th episode of Mann Ki Baat, a year has passed. I had addressed you in October last year.
• One year, a lot of conversation. I learnt a lot from you. Jan Shakti is very important in a democracy.
• I sought inputs from you, I would take up a few of them but so many people contributed
• The lakhs of letters taught me invaluable lessons. I got to know about the issues in the Government.
• Mann Ki Baat showcased Samajh Ki Shakti (strength of the people in a society).
• I had urged you all to buy some Khadi and I am happy the sales have increased so much. This is realisation of Jan Shakti.
• Lakhs of families have given up their gas subsidies. These are not rich people. This is also a silent revolution.
• I have tried something new this time- asked people to share their questions through telephone. I got over 55,000 calls.
• One would feel there is negativity all around but the phone calls, they had so many suggestions and so much positivity.
• Pawan's message is right. Diyas do help the environment. I urge you all to follow what Pawan said.
• Spent a lot of time with Armed personnel at Shauryanjali. I was supposed to be there for 30 minutes but spent much more than that.
• History was recreated at Shauryanjali. We have always heard about the valour of our forces.
• See the strength of democracy. A small child has given me his orders.
• Parliament talks about cleanliness now, I am also criticised for it but I do not consider this to be a bad thing.
• I am again making an appeal for 2nd October, please buy some Khadi and handloom.
• Even buy Khadi and handloom during festivals. I am not saying use only Khadi but give it some place in your lives.
• There is something I am very happy to share. In May, I went to Kolkata where I met family of Subhas Babu.
• I have wanted to invite the entire family of Subhas Bose to my residence and in October over 50 family members will come to 7RCR.
• It is a matter of joy for me that I can host this family (Bose family) at my residence. They are coming from various nations.
