భగీరథ మహర్షి జయంతి సందర్భంగా సగర కులస్తులకు శుభాకాంక్షలు. భగీరథ మహర్షి జయంతిని అధికారికంగా నిర్వహించాలని రాష్ట్ర ప్రభుత్వం ఇప్పటికే ఆదేశాలు జారీ చేసింది. గంగను భువికి తెచ్చిన ఆ మహనీయుడిని స్మరించడం, పూజించడం మనందరి కర్తవ్యం. ఏదైనా సాధించాలనే పట్టుదలకు భగీరథ ప్రయత్నం ఒక స్పూర్తి. — N Chandrababu Naidu (@ncbn) May 4, 2025
