Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday that many important leaders from Chhattisgarh played a crucial role in drafting the Constitution under Dr BR Ambedkar's leadership. Inaugurating the Chhattisgarh assembly's new building in Nava Raipur, he said Saturday marks the beginning of a golden age in the state's journey of development.

Talking about his 'special connection' with Chhattisgarh, PM Modi said the state and its people have been a 'great blessing' for him in shaping his life. Noting that India is the 'mother of democracy', the prime minister also stressed that the year 2025 marks the 'Amrit Varsh' of the country.

"The vision of Chhattisgarh, the resolve for its creation, and the fulfillment of that resolve— I have been a witness to every moment of Chhattisgarh's transformation," he said, extending his greetings to the people of the state on this occasion.
