Ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Punjab on July 17, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) organized a two-day statewide cleanliness campaign. As part of the initiative, Punjab BJP President Kewal Singh Dhillon participated in a cleanliness drive today at a park in Baba Budha Ji Nagar, Jalandhar, under the leadership of Chandan Rakheja, President of Dakoha Mandal.
Speaking on the occasion, Kewal Singh Dhillon said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is being welcomed in Punjab with great enthusiasm and warmth. He said that not only the Punjab BJP but Punjabis across the state are eagerly awaiting the Prime Minister's arrival and are ready to accord him a grand and heartfelt welcome.
He further said that the Punjab BJP has undertaken an extensive cleanliness campaign across the state to mark the Prime Minister's visit. As part of the drive, cleanliness activities were carried out at more than 3,100 locations across 620 BJP Mandals. Public places, parks, hospitals, temples, and other important locations were cleaned as part of the campaign.
Dhillon said the campaign draws inspiration from Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Swachh Bharat Mission, which has transformed cleanliness into a nationwide public movement. He added that keeping our surroundings, villages, and cities clean is a shared responsibility of every citizen, and the campaign aims to reinforce that message.
He also said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is visiting Punjab to dedicate several major development projects to the people of the state. These include the inauguration of world-class redeveloped railway stations equipped with modern passenger amenities, major highway infrastructure projects, and upgraded healthcare facilities at PGI.
Kewal Singh Dhillon said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India has reached new milestones of development and is steadily progressing towards becoming one of the world's leading developed nations. Senior BJP leaders and party workers were also present during the cleanliness drive.
