Describing PM Modi as possessing a Yogic persona, Mansingh praised his selfless dedication to serving the nation, lamenting the lack of acknowledgment for his contributions. “Modi is a yogi; his actions are dedicated to the people of this country, not himself. However, many fail to recognise his efforts,” she said.

Former President Ram Nath Kovind lauded the dancers for their exceptional portrayal of these initiatives, emphasising the profound impact of art in conveying powerful messages. “Art is a timeless expression of human creativity.
