Union Minister and Telangana BJP chief G Kishan Reddy on Wednesday participated in a cleanliness drive at Sri Kanaka Durga Sri Nagalaxmi temple at Basheer Bagh, Hyderabad. He appealed to people to take part in ‘Swachh Abhiyan’ at different temples ahead of Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha.

“I appeal to people to take part in ‘Swachh Abhiyan’ at different temples ahead of Ram temple inauguration. I also urge people to light ‘Ram jyoti’ and take part in other programs,” Kishan Reddy told reporters here.

Swachhata Abhiyan takes new momentum after Prime Minister Narendra Modi exhorted people to conduct a cleanliness drive at religious places as part of the campaign. His appeal came ahead of the Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha in Ayodhya on January 22.
