"Akhilesh Yadav says that he does not understand the Prime Minister`s `Mann Ki Baat`. On this I would say that to understand `Mann Ki Baat`, he needs to have sensible mind and understanding," Shah said while addressing a rally in Jaunpur.


The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister had earlier been critical of Prime Minister Modi`s `Mann ki Baat` programme and stated that he should listen to people`s plight instead of addressing the nation via radio.


"I don`t understand Prime Minister Modi`s `Mann ki Baat`. Instead of doing `Mann ki Baat`, he should do Kaam ki Baat," he said while addressing elections rallies in poll-bound Uttar Pradesh.
