Good to see leaders acknowledging our festivals. But I hope this isn't just a seasonal greeting. Real prosperity for farmers would come from better MSPs and timely access to water, especially in Rajasthan. Let's resolve to support them beyond the festival messages.

Uttarayan is here! The sky over Jaipur is already dotted with kites. The CM's message about positive energy is spot on. These festivals remind us of our connection to nature and the hard work of our annadata, the farmer. Happy Makar Sankranti to all!

Bonfires, sweets, and kite fights – the perfect way to welcome longer days! The essence of these festivals is in community and sharing. Let's all do our bit to help someone in need this Sankranti, as the CM said. #Uttarayan

While the greetings are appreciated, I wish there was more focus on promoting eco-friendly celebrations. The plastic and string waste after kite flying is a huge problem. Can the government initiate clean-up drives or awareness campaigns alongside these messages?
