Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai is addressing the state level convention of Shri Guru Ravidas Mahasabha organized in Mahasamund district.
Today this event is being organized in this holy land of Jhalaap. Before coming here, we all participated in the Kisan Mela in Narayanpur Assembly.
Narayanpur has been a sensitive area, where it was difficult to reach some places. It was a great pleasure to see that a Kisan Mela was organized there today.
I am the first Chief Minister to attend your social event, hence I consider myself fortunate.
Your society is not small. Saint Shiromani Ravidas ji was a great saint.
Shri Guru Ravidas ji gave thoughts like ‘If the mind is healed then Ganga is in trouble’. Mother Ganga had to come to the mercy of devotee Ravidas.
What he meant was that if the mind is pure then God will be found. Great personalities like Kabir, Meera Bai, Guru Nanak ji became contemporaries.
I am happy to know that religious conversion is not happening in this society. If any society is to move forward, education is very important, therefore I urge you to educate both your son and daughter well.
Today drug abuse is a big problem. It is the responsibility of the enlightened people of the society to ensure that the young generation and the people of the society do not get drunk.
Thank you all for forming our government in Chhattisgarh.
We are proud to tell you all that on the very second day of forming the government, we approved houses for 18 lakh homeless people.
On Good Governance Day, we fulfilled the promises like two years outstanding bonus, purchase of 21 quintals of paddy per acre, Mahtari Vandan Yojana, increase in tendu leaf collection rate.
