Prime Minister Narendra Modi led from the front as thousands of people across the country participated in an hour-long cleanliness drive today ahead of Gandhi Jayanti.

PM Modi took part in the drive along with fitness influencer Ankit Baiyanpuriya, getting fitness and well-being into the mix too.

Sharing the video on his official X account, PM Modi wrote, "Today, as the nation focuses on Swachhata, Ankit Baiyanpuriya and I did the same! Beyond just cleanliness, we blended fitness and well-being also into the mix. It is all about that Swachh and Swasth Bharat vibe."

In a recent episode of "Mann Ki Baat", PM Modi had appealed for "one hour of shramdaan for swachhata" on October 1 by all citizens and said it would be a "Swachhanjali" to Mahatma Gandhi on the eve of his birth anniversary.
