Raipur, November 26
On the historic occasion of the 75th Constitution Day, Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai joined citizens at the Town Hall in Raipur for the state-level programme titled “Hamara Samvidhan, Hamara Swabhiman” (Our Constitution, Our Pride.)
The event opened with a dignified and stirring atmosphere, as the Chief Minister, along with the assembled gathering, recited the Preamble of the Constitution in unison, reaffirming India’s shared commitment to the principles that guide the world’s largest democracy. Sai also visited a special exhibition curated for the Constitution Day, viewed a short film on the Constitution, and captured the moment in a Selfie with public representatives to mark the significance of the day.
Chief Minister Sai said that India, the world’s largest democracy, has always marched forward with deep faith and conviction in its Constitution. He noted that the Constitution guarantees every citizen the freedom to speak, express, and participate without fear—an assurance that forms the cornerstone of a vibrant and inclusive democracy. He further emphasised that the ability of ordinary citizens to rise to positions such as MLAs and MPs is a direct outcome of the Constitution’s generous, egalitarian, and democratic spirit.
Remembering the profound contribution of members of the Constituent Assembly from across the country, the Chief Minister paid special tribute to the veterans from Chhattisgarh who played a formative role in shaping the Indian Constitution. He stated that the region’s historic participation remains a matter of enduring pride, and the wisdom, values, and nation-building vision of these eminent leaders continue to inspire future generations.
The event was attended by MLA Shri Rajesh Munat, MLA Shri Purandar Mishra, MLA Shri Sunil Soni, Secretary of the Culture Department Dr. Rohit Yadav, along with a large number of intellectuals and distinguished citizens.
Earlier, in a solemn and deeply symbolic gesture on Constitution Day, Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai offered floral tributes at the statue of Bharat Ratna Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar at Ambedkar Chowk in the state capital, Raipur.
Reflecting on Dr. Ambedkar’s towering legacy, Chief Minister Shri Sai described him as not only the Chief Architect of the Indian Constitution but also as an enduring pillar of equality, justice, and social harmony whose ideals continue to guide the nation’s democratic journey.
On this occasion, MLAs Shri Rajesh Munat and Shri Purandar Mishra, Mayor Smt. Meenal Chaubey, along with several public representatives, officials, and a large number of citizens assembled to honour Dr. Ambedkar’s unparalleled contribution. They reaffirmed their commitment to the Constitution and the values it enshrines.
In his address, Chief Minister Shri Sai said that the Constitution forms the foundation of India’s unity, integrity, and democratic ethos. He highlighted that Dr. Ambedkar’s profound scholarship and visionary approach were instrumental in shaping a Constitution that not only safeguards the rights of every citizen but also reminds us of our duties towards the nation.
The gathering collectively pledged to uphold India’s timeless tradition of unity in diversity and to imbibe constitutional values in everyday life, thereby strengthening the spirit of democracy and social harmony.
