Water Power minister CR Patil said, "Mahatma gandhi had started the Satyagraha movement to get free from slavery. Getting free from slavery was a big task, yet mahatma gandhi had said that along with freedom, cleanliness is also very important, but we got freedom but not cleanliness."
In ABP News' program 'Abhiyan Bemisal Swachhta Ke 10 Saal', CR Patil further said, "Later neither the governments nor the NGOs ever paid attention to this. We got used to dirt. But to make this dream of mahatma gandhi a reality, in 2014, when prime minister Narendra Modi talked about cleanliness from the red Fort, the opponents opposed it saying that the prime minister is talking about cleanliness and toilets from the red Fort, but it was needed. people understood and supported it."
'Result came from the public movement'
He said, unless there is public participation, it is not successful. It will be successful only when there is a mass movement with public participation. people caught hold of this statement of PM Modi and every person got involved in it (cleanliness) and its result is in front of us.
'60 crore people got used to using toilets'
CR Patil said, "Till now 11 crore toilets have been built in the country and about 60 crore people have become used to using toilets." He also claimed, "When PM Modi announced the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan in 2014, at that time there were 40 percent toilets in the country, which the Modi government has taken to 97 percent, which is a big achievement." Let us tell you that in the year 2014, on the day of gandhi Jayanti, prime minister Narendra Modi started the Swachh Bharat Mission. Today, this campaign has completed ten years.
