On 2nd October it will be a year that the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan was launched amidst much fanfare. High expectations were raised but the cleanliness drive has however remained a paper tiger ending up being a total failure as garbage continues to be accumulated everywhere, making one wonder whether the motives of Prime Minister Narendra Modi were only purely political.
Narendra Modi who has been most of the time touring the world may have not been able to see his campaign miserably faltering. The crores of rupees spent by the Government on this media blitz for this campaign would have brought smiles and cheers to the poor and down trodden if the money was instead judiciously spent for their uplifment. But in the name of Swachh Bharat what is being cleaned are the state coffers.
