Hyderabad: Onthe auspicious occasion of Diwali, BJP Telangana State President Ramchander Rao extended heartfelt greetings to the people of Telangana, invoking the spirit of the festival as a symbol of the victory of good over evil.
"Diwali commemorates the triumphant return of Lord Rama to Ayodhya after vanquishing Ravana. It is a celebration of light, righteousness, and hope," Rao said in his festive message. He wished for peace, prosperity, and happiness in every household across the state.
Calling this year's Diwali "truly special," Rao highlighted the GSTBachatUtsav, a campaign that brings additional savings and joy to Indian homes.
