My wish is that on this sacred occasion, everyone receives the inspiration to continuously progress on the path of courage, wisdom, and devotion. My warmest greetings of Vijayadashami to my family members across the country.”
Along with the Prime Minister, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami also conveyed his greetings to the people on this auspicious occasion.
As reported by news agency ANI, in his message on the eve of Vijayadashami, CM Dhami highlighted that the festival symbolizes the victory of righteousness over unrighteousness, good over evil, and truth over falsehood.
