CM Sai’s Call – Let Chhattisgarh Resound with ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’
Raipur, 13 August
Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai stated that the Tiranga Yatra (Tricolor March) is not just a program but a sacred patriotic ritual symbolizing India’s unity, integrity, and sovereignty. He emphasized that the Tiranga (Indian National Flag) represents our pride and dignity, and every citizen must be committed to upholding its honor. True tribute to the freedom fighters will only be paid when every household hoists the tricolor, and India becomes stronger economically and culturally.
Addressing the crowd with the slogans “Bharat Mata Ki Jai” and “Chhattisgarh Mahtari Ki Jai”, CM Sai said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, India is emerging as a strong and respected nation. Referring to the recent cowardly terrorist attack in Pahalgam and the bravery shown by our soldiers during “Operation Sindoor”, he called it a moment of pride for the entire nation that has further elevated the honor of the Tiranga.
The Chief Minister highlighted that in the past one and a half years, the Chhattisgarh government has consistently conducted area domination in Naxal-affected regions, effectively ending the dominance of Naxalites. Where once red flags of extremism waved, today the tricolor flies proudly. In many sensitive villages, the Republic Day flag hoisting resumed after years, sending a powerful message of peace, development, and security.
‘Viksit Bharat 2047’ and the ‘Chhattisgarh Anjor’ Vision
CM Sai stated that the true dignity of the tricolor will be enhanced when India becomes economically strong. In alignment with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of Viksit Bharat 2047, Chhattisgarh has also set a target for becoming a developed state. To this end, the ‘Chhattisgarh Anjor’ vision document has been prepared, presenting a comprehensive roadmap for the state’s development.
He appealed to all citizens to actively participate in the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign and hoist the national flag at their homes as a tribute to the valiant heroes of the freedom movement.
