Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai emphasized that the Tiranga Yatra is not merely an event but a grand act of patriotism, symbolizing India’s unity, integrity, and sovereignty. He stated that the tricolor is our pride and honor, and every citizen must be resolute in its protection and respect. True homage to the heroes of the freedom struggle will be paid when the tricolor flies in every home and India becomes even more economically and culturally empowered.
Addressing the public with the slogans of ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’ and ‘Chhattisgarh Mahtari Ki Jai,’ Chief Minister Sai highlighted that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India is emerging as a strong and respected nation.

Chief Minister Sai said that the true dignity of the tricolor will be enhanced when the country becomes economically strong. In line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of a developed India by 2047, Chhattisgarh has also set the goal of a developed Chhattisgarh.
