The Election Commission (EC) has rejected demands for putting off the national broadcast of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Mann Ki Baat until the Bihar elections are over, but said nothing should be said that will have a bearing on the state polls.
 
The demand had been made by the Grand Alliance formed in Bihar for the polls of various parties.
 
Meanwhile, Modi has once again offered to share recordings of the messages he receives from people on different issues for the next edition of Mann Ki Baat, which will be broadcast on All India Radio and linked channels on 25 October.
 
The Prime Minister has urged people to share their ideas for the programme on the MyGov Open Forum.
