The CM stated that the essence of the festival lies not merely in burning an effigy but in drawing inspiration to overcome personal evils and follow the path of truth, dharma, and humanity. Praising the decision of the Central Government in the GST sector, the Chief Minister said it would provide significant relief and benefits to traders and consumers in Uttarakhand and across the country, describing it as a timely and pre-Diwali gift for residents of the state. He expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, asserting that such measures strengthen the national economy while offering convenience to the common people. Dhami also urged the citizens of Uttarakhand to contribute wholeheartedly to Prime Minister Modi’s vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat and the goal of making India a Vishwa Guru, recalling the Prime Minister’s resolve from Kedarnath Dham that the third decade of this century would belong to Uttarakhand. He stressed that this responsibility extends beyond the government and requires active participation from every resident in areas such as education, tourism, industry, agriculture, and self-employment.
