President Droupadi Murmu also greeted people on the New Year and asked them to renew their commitment to working together to create a brighter, more inclusive, and sustainable future for India and the world.

"Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year! May the year 2025 bring joy, harmony and prosperity to all! On this occasion, let us renew our commitment to work together to create a brighter, more inclusive and sustainable future for India and the world," she said in a post on X.

Lok Sabha’s Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi expressed hope for renewed enthusiasm and happiness in the days ahead in his greetings.

"Happy New Year to all of you. I hope this year brings new enthusiasm, new joy, and happiness to your life. Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year," he said.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath showed confidence that the efforts of the “ double-engine” government will take the state to the path of prosperity and development in 2025.

"There is full confidence that the efforts of the double engine government to take the state on the path of prosperity and development will gain further momentum in the year 2025," he said.

Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren resolved to make a “golden Jharkhand” to realize the aspirations of its people.

“Hearty congratulations, best wishes and Johar to everyone on the occasion of New Year 2025. We have to build a golden Jharkhand together by realizing the dreams of the immortal brave martyrs and great revolutionaries of the state and the aspirations of the people. We will also work to make the person standing at the last rung a part of the all-round development of the state by reaching them with sensitivity,” Soren posted on X.

Meanwhile, the recently elected chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir Omar Abdullah hoped that 2025 would not be as eventful for him as the year gone by.

"2024 has been one hell of a year, when it was good it was amazing & when it was bad it really sucked. 2025 please go easier on my poor heart," Abdullah posted on his X handle.

Last year, Abdullah had experienced mixed electoral fortunes as he lost the Lok Sabha polls from the Baramulla seat but later led his National Conference party to a win in the Assembly elections.

Abdullah became the chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir for the second time. He also posted a short clip of a bonfire and extended his good wishes to the people.

"Here's wishing all of you a happy, peaceful & healthy 2025. May the flames of this bonfire fill your lives with the warmth of love & happiness," he added.
