His leadership transformed millions of lives, bringing hope and prosperity to the poor," Dr Singh said. Describing the newly inaugurated Vidhan Sabha as a "Harit Bhawan" (green building), Dr Singh said the complex not only represents modern architectural excellence but also reinforces environmental consciousness and sustainable governance. "This is not just a green building; it enhances the pride of Chhattisgarh and symbolises its progressive spirit," he said.
