"Happy Holi to all brothers and sisters. Celebrate the festival with excitement and zest. But do not forget decency. Forget all differences on this day and spread love. Celebrate this festival with trees also. I also applied gulaal to a tree. Because if there's life, its because of trees. They are the basis of life and Earth. They are the 'shringaar' (make-up) of Earth," said the Chief Minister to ANI.
