The glow emanated by Diyas would brighten lives, while uniting the people to defeat all disruptive forces.”

“The State is developing rapidly and people are on the path of self-reliance. While we celebrate Diwali, let us remove the darkness of ignorance and lead towards the light of knowledge. I appeal to people to buy local products and celebrate the festival so as to bring new light into the lives of the local manufacturers in the true spirit of Atmanirbhar Bharat, Swayampurna Goa stressing more on ‘Vocal for Local’.

“May the light of Diwali illuminate people’s mind and heart with the spirit of oneness in the State. I wish all the happiness and good health to all. Let the divine lights of Deepavali bring victories to everyone,” CM concluded.
