<h1>Prime Minister lauds Operation Sindoor, GST cuts, swadeshi push, health and yoga to advance Viksit Bharat and unity</h1> The prime minister, in a Deepavali letter, hailed Operation Sindoor as a decisive action that upheld righteousness and avenged injustice, credited recent efforts with eradicating Naxalism and bringing former militants into mainstream development, and framed these as national achievements. The message praised a recent GST rate reduction and promoted the 'GST Bachat Utsav' savings initiative, urged citizens to embrace swadeshi, respect linguistic diversity, prioritise health and yoga, and linked these measures and cultural milestones-including the recent temple construction-to the broader goal of advancing a 'Viksit Bharat' and national stability.
