Good to see a lighter side of our ministers. Playing the dhol on Holi shows they are one of us. But I hope this spirit of togetherness translates into everyday governance for all communities. Holi hai!

Festivals are a time to forget differences. While the gestures are nice, I sincerely hope the message of peace is practiced in policy as well, especially in these tense times. Let the colours of Holi wash away all negativity.
