CM Sai rides motorcycle to flag off Supercross, bats for road safety

Raipur, As part of Chhattisgarh’s Silver Jubilee celebrations, the capital city of Raipur is preparing to host the electrifying MRF National Supercross Bike Racing Championship 2025 on November 8 and 9. The championship, to be staged at the Budhapara Outdoor Stadium, will serve as a dual platform: showcasing India’s top motor racing talent and delivering a crucial social message on road safety.
Ahead of the event, Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai personally rode a motorcycle to set an example, appealing to the youth to make “safe driving” a cultural norm.
Extending his best wishes for the success of the championship, the Chief Minister remarked, “Our youth possess immense energy, and it is our collective responsibility to channel that energy in the right direction.”
Emphasising that “life is precious,” CM Sai urged two-wheeler riders to invariably wear helmets and strictly follow traffic rules. “Never race on public roads,” he cautioned. He further noted that the Silver Jubilee Year is a moment to instill discipline, responsibility, and positive energy among the new generation. “We want Chhattisgarh’s youth to be known not just for their speed, but for their restraint and resolve,” he added.
Ujjwal Deepak, President of the Chhattisgarh Motor Sports Association (CGMSA), highlighted that the championship aims to provide young people across India with a constructive and inspiring platform. “We want speed to be a passion, not a peril—that’s the true spirit behind this championship,” he said.
The two-day event will strictly adhere to safety standards, with races taking place on a specially designed track built to meet national specifications, keeping the competition off public thoroughfares. Supported by MRF, the Supercross Championship will feature the nation’s leading riders and is expected to firmly position Chhattisgarh on India’s motor sports map.
