Propagating the ideas of “Swachhata mission” and spreading awareness to public on cleanliness, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday participated in the mega cleanliness drive, along with fitness influencer Ankit Baiyanpuria.
The drive was initiated by the Prime Minister himself with a call of ’Ek Tareekh, Ek Ghanta, Ek Saath’ under the ongoing ‘Swachhata Hi Seva’ campaign. He appealed for an hour of voluntary participation from citizens in cleaning activities on October 1 from 10 a.m. onwards, to mark the 154th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi.
“Today, as the nation focuses on Swachhata, Ankit Baiyanpuriya and I did the same!”, wrote Prime Minister Narendra Modi on X (formerly Twitter).
“Beyond just cleanliness, we blended fitness and well-being also into the mix. It is all about that Swachh and Swasth Bharat vibe!”, PM added sharing the video in which he is seen sweeping and cleaning along with Mr Baiyanpuria.
