Prime Minister Narendra Modi lit up this Deepavali with a special letter to all Indians! He wished everyone a happy festival, full of energy and joy, marking the second Diwali after the grand Ram Temple was built in Ayodhya. Shri Ram, he said, teaches us to fight against wrong with courage — and this spirit was alive in "Operation Sindoor," where justice triumphed. What’s more exciting? For the first time, lamps will glow in many remote districts where Naxalism and Maoist terrorism have been wiped out from the roots! Rajya se door-door tak, peace is spreading as people leave violence behind and embrace the Constitution and development. Modi also highlighted the "GST Bachat Utsav" or Savings Festival. With lower GST rates starting from Navratri, families are saving thousands of crores, boosting buying power across many sectors. In a world full of troubles, Bharat stands tall as a symbol of both stability and care, quickly moving towards becoming the world’s third-largest economy. Calling all Indians to do their bit, Modi urged us to choose "Swadeshi" – our own local products – and loud and proud say, "This is Swadeshi!" The message was clear: respect all languages, keep cleanliness, cut down on oil by 10% in food, and embrace yoga for a healthy life. These simple steps will light up the path to a "Viksit Bharat" or developed India. Ending on a heartfelt note, PM Modi reminded everyone, “Deepavali teaches us that when one lamp lights another, its light doesn’t fade but grows.” So let’s spread the light of harmony, togetherness, and positivity this festive season. Once again, warm Deepavali wishes from Narendra Modi himself – let this festival shine with hope, health, and happiness across the nation!
