Raipur, August 13
Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai said that the Tiranga Yatra is not just a program, but a great ritual of patriotism that is a symbol of India’s unity, integrity and sovereignty.
He said that the tricolor is their pride, every citizen should be determined to protect and honor it. The true tribute to the heroes of the freedom struggle will be only when every house hoists the tricolor and India becomes more economically and culturally strong.
Addressing the Tiranga Yatra in the state capital, Sai said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India had been emerging as a strong and respected nation. Referring to the courage and valour shown by the brave soldiers in ‘Operation Sindoor’ after the recent cowardly attack in Pahalgam, he said that it was a proud moment for the entire country, which has further elevated the pride of the tricolour.
The Chief Minister said that in the last one and a half years, the Chhattisgarh government has ended the dominance of Left-Wing Extremism by continuously doing area domination in Maoist-affected areas. He said that where the red flag of Maoists used to fly once, today the tricolour is flying with pride. In many sensitive villages, the tricolour has been hoisted again on the occasion of Republic Day after years, which is giving a new message of peace, development and security.
Sai said that the real dignity of the tricolour would increase further when the country becomes economically strong. In line with the resolution of Prime Minister Narendra Modi for Developed India 2047, Chhattisgarh has also set the goal of ‘Developed Chhattisgarh’. For this, ‘Chhattisgarh Anjor’ vision document has been prepared, in which a roadmap for the overall development of the state has been presented.
The Chief Minister appealed to all the citizens to play an active role in the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign and hoist the tricolor on their homes and remember the heroes of the freedom struggle.
Under the Amrit Mahotsav of Independence, a grand Tiranga Yatra was organized in Raipur under the Har Ghar Tiranga campaign being run on the call of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai himself participated in the Tiranga Yatra from Shaheed Smarak Bhavan in Raipur to Telibandha and gave the message of patriotism by walking step by step with thousands of citizens. During the journey, the entire route resonated with the slogans of ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’ and ‘Vande Mataram’.
Raipur MP Brijmohan Agarwal said that the tricolor had been the honor and identity. He said that under the leadership of Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai, Chhattisgarh is moving towards progress and prosperity. The Tiranga Yatra is dedicated to those brave soldiers who sacrificed everything to protect it. Ex-servicemen of the state who made significant contributions in various military operations were also honored in the program.
MLA Kiran Singh Dev said that the tricolor is the identity and the biggest strength. It unites and reminds them that they are all one India. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and under the guidance of Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai, Chhattisgarh is rapidly moving on the path of development.
