Chief Minister spoke to CRPF Bastariya Battalion Jawan Premika Dugga’s mother over phone

-The rice bowl is safe and prosperous only because of the soldiers and farmers – Chief Minister Vishnudev Sai

Raipur 20 October 2024: Your daughter is living very well here and is engaged in serving the country. I have just met your daughter… Whenever I come to Narayanpur, I will meet all of you. The rice bowl is safe and prosperous only because of the soldiers and farmers. Soldiers and farmers are the two strong pillars of our country and the feeling of Jai Jawan-Jai Kisan is in the heart of all of us. On one hand, while the soldiers are standing firm in the security of the country, on the other hand there are the farmers who are the food providers, who are fulfilling our food needs. This conversation seemed as if someone from home met their daughter and was giving them the news of it.

While returning the next morning after taking a night’s rest at CRPF’s Bastariya Battalion in Sedwa of Bastar district, the Chief Minister, while bidding farewell to the soldiers in the camp, enquired about the well-being of Bastariya Battalion’s soldier Premika Dugga. During the conversation, the Chief Minister expressed his desire to talk to her family members. On this, Premika called her mother Smt. Moti Bai on mobile and made her talk to the Chief Minister.

While talking on mobile, Chief Minister Vishnudev Sai enquired about the well-being of all the family members from Premika’s mother and inquired about everyone’s health. He also asked Premika’s mother about the harvesting of paddy in the fields with great affection. During the conversation, the Chief Minister inquired about the crops grown by the family and talked a lot about farming. During the conversation, the Chief Minister jokingly asked Smt. Moti Bai to feed him Chapra chutney when he came to her house, to which she replied to the Chief Minister in a casual manner that she will definitely feed him Chapra chutney. The Chief Minister ended the conversation by bowing to Premika’s mother.

Chief Minister  Vishnu Dev Sai spent a pleasant time with the soldiers in the camp. He had dinner with the soldiers. He also served food to the soldiers. His simplicity, behavior and friendliness won the hearts of all the soldiers. After listening to the conversation between Chief Minister Vishnudev Sai and the mother of the girlfriend of a soldier of the Bastariya Battalion on mobile, all the soldiers felt that the Chief Minister is equally concerned not only about his soldiers but also about their families away from home. The sensitive head of the state, Vishnu Dev Sai, is equally concerned and connected with all the farmers and soldiers as well as their families. The culture of hospitality and feeding the guest their favorite dishes is also in our tradition. The same thing was seen in the conversation between the Chief Minister and Mrs. Moti Bai about Chapra chutney. The Chief Minister ended the conversation by bowing to the mother of the soldier, as if someone was talking to an elder of his family with great intimacy and respect. This behavior and friendliness of the Chief Minister expresses the feeling of deep respect in his mind for the soldiers and farmers.
