With Gandhi Jayanti approaching, Modi has invited India‘s Test vice-captain, Ajinkya Rahane, for a Swachhta Hi Seva campaign, and requested him to take some time out from his busy schedule and take part in Swachhta Hi Seva campaign. This is not the first time PM Modi has requested Indian cricketers to take part in his Swachhta mission. Earlier, the greatest Indian cricketer ever Sachin Tendulkar also took in the campaign and requested him fans to keep the surroundings clean.

“Respected @narendramodi ji. I’m truly humbled to receive this letter from you. It’s my honour to participate in SWACHHATA HI SEVA movement.”
