Dussehra is the festival of victory of truth over falsehood and good over evil: Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai

Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai while addressing thousands of people on the occasion of Dussehra festival at WRS Colony ground in Raipur today said that this festival is the festival of victory of truth over falsehood and good over evil. We kill Ravana every year, but this festival is meaningful only when we kill the Ravana in the form of lust, anger, pride and greed that is in our mind. The Chief Minister said that we all have to take a pledge to remove all the evil in the form of Ravana in Chhattisgarh, the city of mother Kaushalya and maternal home of nephew Shri Ram. On this occasion, the Chief Minister burnt the huge effigies of Ravana, Kumbhkaran and Meghnath by pressing the remote button amid the cheers of Lord Shri Ram. 

While congratulating and wishing the people present in the program on the occasion of Vijayadashmi festival, the Chief Minister said that for the last 53 years, the program of Ravana’s killing is being organized in WRS Colony. This year’s program is special for all of us because after 500 years, Lord Shri Ram of Chhattisgarh has been installed in a grand temple. This is a matter of pride and happiness for all of us. 

The Ravana Vadh program was organized in a traditional manner. On this occasion, the war story of Lord Ram and Ravana was staged and in the end, the message of victory of good over evil was given by burning the huge effigy of Ravana.
