Hailing makhana as a superfood, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has revealed that he eats makhana 300 days a year, stressing his commitment towards healthy eating.
Speaking at a rally in Bhagalpur, PM Modi said, "Now Makhana has become a staple part of breakfast in cities across the country. Speaking personally, I eat makhana at least 300 out of 365 days a year. It is a superfood that we must now take to global markets. That's why, in this year's budget, the government has announced the formation of a Makhana Board for the benefit of makhana farmers," the Prime Minister said at a rally in Bhagalpur.
