Good wishes from the CM are always welcome during festivals. However, I hope this message of unity and "Sabka Saath" translates into concrete actions for all communities in the state throughout the year, not just during celebrations. The sentiment is beautiful, but consistent governance is key.

The highlight for me is the mention of the Harul dance and Kumaoni Holiyaars! Our traditional art forms need this platform. Glad the CM's residence became a stage for them. This is how we preserve heritage. Happy Holi to all in Devbhoomi! 🏔️

As someone living in Dehradun, the festive atmosphere is truly infectious. It's heartening to see leadership participate openly. Holi's message of letting go of past grievances is something we could all use more of, in politics and daily life. Wishing everyone a safe and colourful celebration!

Festivals are a great unifier in our country. Whether it's Holi, Diwali, Eid, or Christmas, they all bring people together. The CM's words about eliminating differences are the core of Indian culture. Let's keep that spirit alive beyond the day of Gulal.

Just hope the water and colours used are organic and eco-friendly! We must celebrate, but also protect our beautiful rivers and environment in Uttarakhand. The sentiment of unity should also extend to unity with nature. Have a happy and green Holi! 🌿
