Prime Minister Narendra Modi has extended his wishes to people across India on the occasion of Navratri, describing the festival as a time of new energy and collective resolve. Posting on X, Modi said this year’s Navratri is “very special” as it coincides with the GST Savings Festival and efforts to promote Swadeshi (self-reliance). “Along with the GST Savings Festival, the mantra of Swadeshi is going to receive new energy during this period. Let us come together in collective efforts for the fulfillment of the resolve for a developed and self-reliant India,” the Prime Minister said.
In Hindi, he added:
“आप सभी को नवरात्रि की अनंत शुभकामनाएं। साहस, संयम और संकल्प के भक्ति-भाव से भरा यह पावन पर्व हर किसी के जीवन में नई शक्ति और नया विश्वास लेकर आए। जय माता दी!”
