Cultural presentations at Deepotsav on the path of duty

Delhi CM also said, “When Lord Shri Ram returned to Ayodhya, the entire earth was illuminated with lamps. And when Ram Lalla sat in his grand temple, India recognized its soul again. The same consciousness, the same arrival of Lord Shri Ram in Ayodhya is going to descend on the path of duty in Delhi.

Delhi’s Diwali should be felt – Rekha Gupta

The Chief Minister said, “Delhi’s Diwali is the Diwali of the country’s capital and it should be celebrated, seen and felt. When a Sanatani government comes to power, its grandeur and divinity are unmatched. Today everyone in Delhi, be it youth, children, women or elders, is happy. They celebrate Diwali because Prime Minister Modi has saved in GST.

Delhi will witness grandeur and divinity- Rekha Gupta

He said, “Delhi government’s GST credit, permits for firecrackers, preparations for Chhath at Chhath Ghat and event management for the youth. These are all such festivals which Delhi has missed over the years but not now. Now Delhi will live openly, celebrate its festivals with joy and express its happiness. When lakhs of lamps will be lit on the Path of Duty, Delhi will witness grandeur and divinity. May this light always illuminate Delhi and our country.”
