As the nation welcomed the auspicious festival of Shardiya Navratri, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi took to social media to extend his warm wishes to citizens across India. In a brief but heartfelt message, he wrote:
“May Maa Durga bring happiness, peace, and prosperity to all.”
आप सभी को नवरात्रि के पावन पर्व की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएं। मां दुर्गा की कृपा से आपके जीवन में सदैव सुख, शांति और समृद्धि बनी रहे।
— Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) September 22, 2025
जय माता दी।
The greeting, shared on the morning of September 22, coincides with the worship of Maa Shailputri, the first of the nine divine forms of Goddess Durga. Gandhi’s message was widely circulated, with many praising its simplicity and spiritual tone.
Navratri, celebrated over nine days, is marked by fasting, prayer, and cultural festivities including Garba and Dandiya. Political leaders across parties often use the occasion to connect with citizens, invoking themes of unity, renewal, and divine strength.
Rahul Gandhi’s message aligns with his recent outreach efforts focused on cultural engagement and grassroots connection. His Navratri post joins a chorus of greetings from leaders across India, as the festival sets the tone for upcoming Dussehra and Diwali celebrations.
