Chhattisgarh CM Vishnu Deo Sai celebrates Raksha Bandhan at his residence

Raipur (Chhattisgarh) [India], August 20 (ANI): Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai celebrated Raksha Bandhan at his residence on Monday.

Speaking to ANI during the occasion, CM Sai expressed his happiness and also extended greetings to the people of Chhattisgarh.

“My greetings to all the people of Chhattisgarh, on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan. I don’t have a real sister, those men who don’t have their sisters wish they had sisters. Today I am very happy, so many sisters came here today and tied Rakhi to me,” CM Sai said.

The Chief Minister earlier offered prayers in Mahakaleshwar temple in Ujjain on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan.

“We prayed to Baba Mahakal for the peace and prosperity of Chhattisgarh, to maintain brotherhood and that everyone works towards development together,” CM Vishnu Deo Sai said.

Raksha Bandhan is a traditional Hindu festival deeply rooted in Indian culture and has been celebrated for centuries, symbolising the bond between brothers and sisters. On this day, sisters tie the rakhi around their brothers’ wrists for protection and, in return, brothers offer gifts as a symbol of love and care for their sisters.
