Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday praised the festive spirit of Holi 2026, saying the festival is bringing joy and enthusiasm across India even as much of the world grapples with turmoil, reported ANI.
Speaking at the Lord Narasimha Shobha Yatra, the CM lauded the country’s leadership under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, stating, “While the world faces disarray, unrest, and an atmosphere of anarchy, India is celebrating Holi with happiness and enthusiasm.” He added that the nation remains free of fear, chaos, or distrust during the festivities.
According to ANI, the Chief Minister asserted that the nation is driven by the spirit of “Satyameva Jayate,” adding, “If corruption is thriving anywhere, we must burn it, and if anarchy, terrorism, or extremism attempts to raise its head, we must also destroy it.”
Holi celebrations are deeply rooted in Hindu mythology, symbolising the triumph of good over evil. The festival begins with the ritual of lighting a bonfire, known as Holika Dahan.
The following day marks the more widely celebrated aspect of Holi, when people immerse themselves in joy and togetherness by playing with colours.
100th anniversary celebrations of RSS announced, including nationwide marches
The CM also praised the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) as the “world’s largest cultural organisation,” declaring that marches in honour of the RSS’s 100th anniversary would take place.
“The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, which is the world’s largest cultural organisation, has had millions of pracharaks and swayamsevaks who, under its aegis, have dedicated their entire lives to the honour, pride, and glory of Hindus, to the traditions of India’s Sanatan Dharma, and to India’s unity and integrity,” he said, the news agency reported.
Referring to the 100-year milestone of the RSS, the CM announced that they would take part in the Lord Narasimha Shobha Yatra.
“Hindu conferences are underway to strengthen social harmony; every section of society is participating in them, and there is no disorder anywhere,” he added.
Founded in 1925 in Nagpur, Maharashtra, by Keshav Baliram Hedgewar, the RSS was established as a volunteer-based organisation with the goal of fostering cultural awareness, discipline, service, and social responsibility among citizens.
