Extending greetings to the people on Sharadiya Navratri, CM Sai said that the festival enhances joy, enthusiasm, and goodwill while strengthening social harmony and spreading positive energy.

These Shakti Peeths not only strengthen faith but also enrich Chhattisgarh’s cultural heritage and identity.

CM Sai further noted that on the first day of Navratri, Prime Minister Narendra Modi implemented GST reforms, giving new momentum to the nation’s economy.
