# PM Modi attends bhajan clubbing event in Delhi 2026-09-25T15:41:33+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 3 independent outlets Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended a 'Bhajan Clubbing' event at Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Park in Delhi on Friday to mark the 110th birth anniversary of Bharatiya Jana Sangh leader Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya. Hindustan Times reports that Modi sat in the front row, clapping and listening as singers in saffron shades performed devotional songs. Times of India says he played a headless tambourine and waved to the crowd. ABP Live reports Modi was seen playing a dholak and appeared immersed in devotion, with eyes closed during hymns. Slogans such as 'GenZ Love Modi' were displayed on stage. Earlier in the day, Modi posted on X praising Upadhyaya's 'Antyodaya' philosophy as the foundation of public welfare. The Prime Minister has previously praised the 'bhajan clubbing' trend in his Mann ki Baat broadcasts and during a visit to Australia. ## Indian Opinion Analysis All three outlets reported the event as a straightforward cultural observance, with no critical or political framing. The coverage uniformly highlighted Modi's participation, the devotional atmosphere, and his endorsement of Gen Z's engagement with tradition. The lack of any contrasting stance suggests the story was treated as a soft news feature rather than a political event. The uniformity leaves no stance gap to analyse, but the emphasis on Gen Z's role in the trend may be noted as a recurring theme in government messaging. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com (neutral report) Straight news agency style reporting on the event and Modi's X post. - timesofindia.indiatimes.com (neutral report) Focuses on Modi's previous praise of bhajan clubbing trend. - news.abplive.com (neutral report) Describes event details including dholak playing and stage slogans.
