Looking at the way citizens of big winning cities had turned Swachhata into a Jan Andolan, I am not surprised at the results. Congratulations #Indore & #Bhopal for a repeat performance at #1&2. Well done #Chandigarh for coming in 3rd.
Others will surely try & catch up next year. pic.twitter.com/M8PMQRn1QI— Hardeep Singh Puri (@HardeepSPuri) May 16, 2018
A tale of two cities!
The way Indore & Bhopal retain the Top-2 spots is a commendable feat. I want to congratulate the citizens, ULB’s, Mayors & elected representatives of the two cities & MP CM @ChouhanShivraj for his leadership.
All it takes is a good CM to change the state. pic.twitter.com/0KWXUU1heT— Hardeep Singh Puri (@HardeepSPuri) May 16, 2018
