In Assam, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma used the metaphor of a single lamp to inspire his constituents. He reminded the people that no matter how deep the darkness may seem, a single flame has the power to dispel it.
The Chief Minister urged citizens to take a pledge this Deepawali to illuminate every home and life with a "new light of progress, faith, and prosperity," linking the ancient tradition of welcoming Lord Ram to modern aspirations of growth.
Calls for Social Harmony and Local Support
The spirit of inclusivity was a major highlight in the messages from Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan:

- Rajasthan: CM Bhajanlal Sharma took a poignant stand against social divides, stating that the festival should dispel the darkness of discrimination and deprivation. In a bid to support the grassroots economy, he encouraged citizens to shop from local potters, artisans, and small traders to bring happiness into their homes as well.
