Prime Minister Modi also inaugurated the ‘Shanti Shikhar Brahma Kumaris Meditation Centre’, and later unveiled the statue of Atal Bihari Vajpayee at the newly constructed Chhattisgarh Vidhan Sabha building in Nava Raipur.

Welcoming the Prime Minister, the Chief Minister’s Office of Chhattisgarh posted on X (formerly Twitter): “Heartiest welcome and congratulations to the Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi Ji, on the sacred soil of Chhattisgarh.”

Addressing the gathering, Prime Minister Modi reiterated his vision of development through the empowerment of states, stating: “Whenever there is a crisis or disaster anywhere in the world, India, as a trusted partner, steps forward immediately.
