In his 15-minute speech, the PM made a mention of two citizens, who had contacted him. One of them, said Modi, was from Mumbai -- Ganesh Venkatadri.   

An engineer, Ganesh was thrilled when he heard his name on the All India Road. “It hasn't really sunk in, but when PM mentioned my name during his address on AIR, I was surprised and felt extremely happy,” he told ANI.

“I can now believe responses are being received. I will ask others too to communicate suggestions to PM,” he added.
