MY VIEW: I Did Not Think a Swachh Bharat Was Possible. These 12 Tweets Changed My Mind.

The views expressed in this article are that of the author’s and do not in any way reflect the views of the organisation.

I guess these pictures speak volumes. I have never seen such shining floors in any station in India all my life. I hope this becomes a reality in every place in India very soon.
