JP Nadda extends greetings, urges collective effort for "self-reliant India"

BJP leaders JP Nadda and Shivraj Singh Chouhan extend Holi greetings, emphasizing national unity, peace, and a collective push for a self-reliant India.

"May the bombs raining down from the sky end, and may colours rain down from the sky. - Shivraj Singh Chouhan"

New Delhi, March 4

On the occasion of Holi, Union Minister JP Nadda extended his greetings to the nation on Holi, emphasizing a collective commitment to building a "developed and self-reliant India".

Celebrating the festival of colours at his residence with BJP supporters today, Nadda prayed for society's prosperity and contribution to the nation's growth.

Speaking to reporters, Nadda said, "Today, on the auspicious occasion of Holi, on my own behalf and on behalf of all my millions of workers, I extend my heartiest greetings to the countrymen. May the festival of Holi bring us all together with renewed enthusiasm and energy to serve society and the nation, and contribute to making the country a developed and self-reliant India under PM Modi's leadership."

He added, "On this day, I pray to God that everyone in society remains prosperous, happy, and contributes harmoniously to the nation's progress."

Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan also called for peace on the occasion of the Holi celebration.

Chouhan, while celebrating Holi at his residence in Bhopal, emphasised that the festival teaches us to enjoy life and not make war.

"The festival of Holi teaches us that the world should forget grievances. May the bombs raining down from the sky end, and may colours rain down from the sky. Colours signify love, joy, unity and harmony. Everyone should get drenched in the colours of joy and not in the stench of gunpowder," he said.

Holi celebration is deeply rooted in Hindu mythology, symbolising the triumph of good over evil. The festival of Holi begins with the ritual of lighting a bonfire, known as Holika Dahan. The following day marks the more widely celebrated aspect of Holi, when people immerse themselves in joy and togetherness by playing with colours.

Greetings on Holi! While the sentiment of peace and prosperity is beautiful, I hope this collective effort includes everyone, regardless of political affiliation. Development should be inclusive. Chouhan ji's words about colours over bombs are very poignant in today's world.

Happy Holi! The message is good, but actions speak louder than words. We hear these calls for unity and self-reliance every festival. Let's see more concrete policies that actually improve the lives of common people, especially farmers and small traders. Jai Hind.

Holi greetings to all! It's heartening to see the focus on societal prosperity. True development is when the last person in the queue feels included and hopeful. Let's play with safe, natural colours and celebrate responsibly. Have a wonderful festival!
