Maharasthra: Fadnavis and Bachchan raise hands for MahaCleanathon
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan on Saturday picked up brooms to clean up the sprawling Sir J.J. Hospital complex as part of the NDTV-Dettol 'MahaCleanathon' campaign.
"We have not come here to make speeches. We want to set an example and hope this movement continues and we can keep our cities clean," Fadnavis said as he dug his hands into dirt at the event.
He pointed out that all the hill stations in the state once had 'kachra points' which are now known as 'Swachch Points' to drive home the mission philosophy.
The campaign brand ambassador, Bachchan swished around with a broom along with Fadnavis, and then picked up the accumulated garbage with his bare hands to dump it in a cane basket.
"If each one cleans up 10 yards around their homes, the entire city will sparkle. When you see somebody littering, tell them if you keep doing this, it will have an impact," Bachchan said on the occasion.
