Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao said Ganesh Chaturthi was a very sacred day for crores of Hindus who offer prayers to Lord Ganesh, as the first God to receive prayers.
He remembered that devotees worship Lord Ekadanta on the auspicious occasion with the saying “Vakratunda Mahakaya Suryakoti Samaprabha. Nirvighnam Kuru me deva, Sarvekaaryeshu sarvada,” to remove the obstacles in their life.
Chandrashekhar Rao said with the blessings of Lord Ganesh, Telangana had overcome many obstacles and was prospering in all sectors, by setting an example for others.
He prayed to Lord Ganesha to bless the State government to continue the development programmes without interruption.
Today KCR along with the family members will worship the mud idol of Lord Ganesha here at the Pragathi Bhavan.
KTR, Himanshu, Santosh Kumar and others are also expected to participate in the pooja.
