Patiala News (March 19): On the auspicious occasion of the first day of Chaitra Navratri, Aam Aadmi Party’s Punjab Affairs Incharge Manish Sisodia paid obeisance at the Mata Shri Kali Devi Temple in Patiala along with his family. He was accompanied by the State Health and Family Welfare Minister Dr. Balbir Singh. On this occasion, he extended warm greetings of Navratri to all devotees and prayed for prosperity, peace, and progress for the nation.
Manish Sisodia said he feels fortunate to have received the opportunity to visit this ancient and religiously significant temple on the first day of Navratri. He also performed a havan at the temple and said that visiting this sacred place gave him spiritual peace and renewed energy.
Praying for the prosperity of the country and welfare of its people, he said that as long as the blessings of the Goddess remain with us, no force can harm the nation. He also gave a message of unity and brotherhood among people.
During the visit, he, along with Health Minister Dr. Balbir Singh, Mayor Kundan Gogia, and Deputy Commissioner Varjeet Walia, reviewed the ongoing renovation work at the temple.
