Responding to PM Modi's appeal for a nationwide cleanliness drive, other leaders including Amit Shah, Ashwini Vaishnaw, Jyotiraditya Scindia, Piyush Goyal, also participated in the campaign and did 'Shram Daan' (Donation of labour). Last month, PM Modi, during his monthly broadcast "Mann Ki Baat" made an appeal to all the citizens for “one hour of Shram Daan for Swachhata” on October 1. He termed it as a ‘Swachhanjali’ to Mahatma Gandhi on the eve of his birth anniversary.
On Sunday, leaders from across the country were seen participating in the 'Swachhata Hi Seva' campaign ahead of Mahatma Gandhi's birth anniversary on October 2. Leaders including Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Union Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, Union Minister Meenakashi Lekhi, BJP Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad, BJP National president JP Nadda, were seen cleaning the streets.
PM Modi took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to call for everyone's participation in the campaign. He wrote, "Swachh Bharat is the collective responsibility of all the family members of the country. Every effort of public participation is very important in this direction. Let us come together tomorrow at 10 am to dedicate one hour to cleanliness and help us build a bright future for the country."
स्वच्छ भारत देश के सभी परिवारजनों की सामूहिक जिम्मेदारी है। इस दिशा में जनभागीदारी का हर एक प्रयास बहुत अहम है। आइए, कल सुबह 10 बजे एकजुट होकर एक घंटा स्वच्छता को समर्पित करें और देश के उज्ज्वल भविष्य के निर्माण में अपना हाथ बटाएं।
