In the widely shared video, PM Modi says, "Main apne laksh chhote nahi rakhta, main soch chhoti nahi rakhta. Agar statue bhi banata hun toh sabse oonchi banata hun duniya mein. Sunte ho na, Binod... kaam bolta hai." The clip quickly went viral, with many users praising the Prime Minister's use of a popular pop-culture reference.

The dialogue "Sunte ho na, Binod," often associated with the equally popular phrase "Dekh raha hai na, Binod," originates from the acclaimed web series Panchayat. In the show, Bhushan, popularly known as Banrakas, frequently uses the line while speaking to his companion Binod during village disputes. Over time, the dialogue evolved into a widely shared meme across social media.
The viral moment comes shortly after PM Modi met Panchayat actors Durgesh Kumar and Ashok Pathak, who portray Bhushan and Binod, respectively. A video from the interaction, featuring Telugu actor Ram Charan and Upasana Konidela, was widely circulated online, making the Prime Minister's latest "Sunte ho na, Binod" remark even more relatable for fans of the series.
