Now I'm no one to judge as I myself was there for a certificate, a T-Shirt, a wristband and the fun on cycling along the Tank Bund. But I was deeply drained of that very thing when I saw the striking irony at the event.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1459679512265","data":"
Swachh Bharat, by its definition and name itself, means a Clean India. Prime Minister Narendra Modi was simple enough and with the very simple words has asked the citizens of this country to 'Don't litter and Clean Up Your Litter'. But the event was all littered up by the participants and organizers alike. The cyclists have spewed the floor with used water bottles and empty muffin wrappers.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1459679946055","data":"5700f6c027a73"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1459679944396","data":"
The Organizers were active enough to pass on the water bottles to the marathon runners and cyclists but did not care a bit about the litter the participants are making. Common sense slid from everyone's brains as no one CARED about the litter made by them or anyone else. <\/p>
Samsung, associated with this event, had deployed its marketing team or something to the venue to promote their gizmo but they too seem to have left their common sense back home. I've seen a Samsung employ casually drink a water bottle and carelessly throw away the bottle on the road.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1459680981394","data":"5700f6ee49d21"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1459680997411","data":"
Whilst cycling along the way I saw 2 persons who were just about doing their daily job. Cleaning the Roads<\/p>
THAT is the REAL Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. Not what we did.<\/p>
Pay some 300 bucks and run for a few miles. Click a few Selfies and post it to Facebook(I do that. So no prejudice towards anyone.) is utter stupid in nature. It really begs the question of 'How does that help clean the nation?' . I have paid 200 bucks for a Swachh Bharat event where I do not know how me cycling on the roads is going to help clean India. For all I see is people littering the same in the name of Swachh Bharat.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1459681252333","data":"5700f7f8f40ed"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1459681260956","data":"
We saw Ministers and M.Ps posing for pictures to the media with a single broom in the hands of 3-4 VIPs. Haven't seen the same guy cleaning anything else or at the least be responsible for that since that day.<\/p>
If you want a REAL Swachh Bharat Campaign, stop this bullshit in its name and give them a broom instead of a cycle and ask them to clean the roads. Do the same with them. Change Starts with YOU. <\/p>"}]
