“Heading to Bastar to celebrate Diwali with our brave security forces.

This is an area where Naxalism once held sway and now, development is flourishing.

I am going to salute our brave security personnel for their sacrifices, selfless service and unwavering devotion to the nation.

दीपावली के पावन अवसर पर बस्तर जा रहा हूं।

वीर जवानों, उनके बलिदान, त्याग और तपस्या को नमन करने जा रहा हूं।”
