Rholu is the most sacred shrine where my soul is deeply touched by the divine and nurturing vibrations of Manokamana Siddhi Devi Rholu Mata's blessings. On this auspicious occasion of Rholu Diwas, my heart brimmed with enthusiasm and a fervent desire to unite with our beloved people for collective worship and celebration.

However, due to the imperative situation of attending the 72nd Plenary Meeting of the NEC in Tripura, I am unable to be present physically. Despite this, my spirit remains every moment at Rholu, joining our people in prayer, reverence, and grand celebration for this momentous day.

As we honor this day, we humbly bow before Rolu Manokamana Siddhi Devi, seeking her Divine blessings for the enduring success, prosperity, and wellbeing of every Sikkimese individual.

Rolu Diwas is a tribute to the unparalleled courage, determination, and indomitable spirit of the people of Sikkim, to whom I extend my deepest gratitude and highest respect on this auspicious day.

The trials and tribulations we faced were immense, yet they were met with unparalleled resolve and unity by our people, whose steadfast devotion and sacrifices became the foundation of the transformative movement against the tyranny of the past regime.

With utmost reverence, I bow in gratitude to the people for their perseverance, sacrifices, and unwavering commitment to justice and democracy. Your courage has meticulously shaped our past continuing to illuminate our path forward.

Jai Rolu Mata !
