Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan conveyed her greetings to the people of Telangana today.
"On this joyous occasion of Deepavali, I extend my warmest greetings to the people of Telangana. The festival of lights signifies the victory of righteousness over evil. I am sure occasions like this inspire us to conquer the evils of the modern day and build a society in which peace, amity and communal harmony prevail. I appeal to you all to buy the local products to celebrate this festival so as to bring new light into the lives of the indigenous manufacturers in the true spirit of Atma Nirbhar Bharat," the Governor said.
CM K Chandrashekar Rao too sent Deepavali greetings to the people of the State and rest of the country.
KCR said that Deepavali was a celebration of the victory of good over evil, and a festival that enjoined people to move from darkness towards light. He expressed hope that just like in Telangana, people in the rest of the country too saw the light of progress in their lives (his words, not ours).
Both the CM and the Governor exhorted the people to stay safe and celebrate the festival in a way that was ecologically friendly.
