CM Sai extended warm wishes for Independence Day. After hoisting the flag, he said, today is a day of great pride for all of us. Fighting against British imperialism, our freedom fighters sacrificed everything and gave us the light of independence. Today, in this morning of Independence Day, we bow down with gratitude to all our brave sons.
2 Along with the 79th Independence Day of the country, we are celebrating the development journey of 25 glorious years of the establishment of Chhattisgarh state as ‘Chhattisgarh Silver Festival’. I am happy to share with you that we are starting the Chhattisgarh Silver Festival from this auspicious day. With the participation of all of you, we will make this festival unforgettable.
3 Today is also a day of remembering the heroes of the Paralkot rebellion. 200 years have passed since the Paralkot rebellion, which was written in golden letters in the fight for the country’s independence. Even today, the people of the state are listening to the stories of martyr Gend Singh’s bravery with the same pride from generation to generation.
4 Who can forget the fight fought by martyr Veernarayan Singh to get justice for the hungry and oppressed people. I would like to remember Hanuman Singh ji, the hero of Raipur Sepoy Rebellion, on this occasion. The amazing bravery that Veer Gundadhur displayed for his motherland through the Bhumkal rebellion is inscribed in golden letters in history. The sacrifice of many of our tribal heroes including martyr Yadav Rao, Venkat Rao, Dhurva Rao, Debari Dhur, Aaytu Mahara is a wonderful example of patriotism.
5 We salute the creator of our state, former Prime Minister Bharat Ratna respected Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee ji, who fulfilled his firm resolve and Chhattisgarh emerged as a new state on the map of the country. We are celebrating the birth centenary year of Atal ji as Atal Nirman Varsh.
6 The holy land of Chhattisgarh is rich in natural resources. We have a rich cultural heritage and abundant human resources with immense enthusiasm. When this state was formed on 1 November 2000, we had dreamt of a developed, self-reliant and inclusive Chhattisgarh. Today I can proudly say that we are moving rapidly in that direction.
7 Fifty years of the Emergency have been completed. We salute our democracy fighters, who kept the torch of democracy in the very difficult period of the Emergency, regardless of the tortures.
8 We have to fulfill our part of responsibility for the motherland. We have to give concrete shape to the concept of developed India-developed Chhattisgarh by the year 2047 under the leadership of the successful Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi.
9 We are proud of our brave soldiers, who have always kept the motherland’s head high with their immense valor and courage. From the attack by Pakistan after the country’s independence in the year 1947 to Operation Sindoor, our soldiers have raised the honor of the tricolor every time. Operation Sindoor was launched under the leadership of our Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi to avenge the heinous terrorist act in Pahalgam. This operation became a symbol of India’s valor and strong willpower across the world.
10 Under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, India’s economy has become the fourth largest economy in the world. Our Chandrayaan has reached the south pole of the Moon and Shubhanshu Shukla has hoisted the tricolor at the International Space Station.
11 Behind this success, the hard work of the countrymen and the visionary leadership, strong determination and immense willpower of our illustrious Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi have a special role. On this glorious day, we congratulate the soldiers of our security forces, who defeated the Naxalites by entering their hideouts.
12 Under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah, we are rapidly moving towards the goal of making the country free from Maoist terror by March 2026. In the last 20 months, our soldiers have neutralized 450 Maoists and arrested 1578.
13 Our soldiers succeeded in neutralizing top Maoist leaders Basavaraju and Sudhakar. Influenced by the attractive surrender policy of the state government, 1589 Maoists have surrendered their weapons. Arrangements have been made for their rehabilitation, skill development and employment.
14 The real meaning of good governance is when its benefits reach the last person. The health center of Chintagufa, near Tadmetla where 76 of our soldiers were martyred in the Maoist attack, has received the National Quality Certificate. On an average, 20 deliveries take place here every month and thousands of villagers are availing free treatment.
15 With the decline of Naxalism, the pace of development in Bastar has increased rapidly. 50 closed schools were reopened and electricity reached many villages for the first time. Basic facilities have reached 327 villages through the Niyyad Nella Nar i.e. Your Good Village scheme. A bank branch has now opened in Pamed, which was once a stronghold of Naxalites.
16 In the last 20 months, we have worked towards fulfilling the guarantees given to the citizens of the state by Prime Minister Modi ji.
