Delhi’s BJP Government and party leadership on Wednesday rolled out a city-wide cleanliness campaign covering all 256 organisational mandals of the capital. The campaign was started to mark 12 years of the Modi Government.
Led by Delhi BJP president Harsh Malhotra, party MPs, Delhi ministers, MLAs, state office bearers and Delhi Government ministers participated in the campaign held in 256 blocks across the capital.
Malhotra, accompanied by local BJP MLA Abhay Verma, launched the campaign near Laxmi Nagar metro station and said that everyone should take a pledge to avoid littering.
Malhotra said that when Prime Minister Modi took the oath for the first time in 2014, he emphasised cleanliness, which has now become a people’s movement.

Kapil Mishra, participating in a cleanliness and plantation drive in Kalkaji alongside South Delhi MP Ramvir Singh Bidhuri, used the occasion to address the ongoing opposition signature campaign on the O-Zone issue.
