Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha stated that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Mann Ki Baat' program enjoys greater popularity among the public compared to the popular TV serials 'Mahabharat' and 'Ramayan' from the 1980s. This claim was made following his participation in the 108th episode of 'Mann Ki Baat' at his home constituency Town Bardowali, where he was accompanied by party leaders and workers.
