(Source: IE) Written by Shaju Philip | Thiruvananthapuram | Posted: October 25, 2014 2:32 pm | Updated: October 25, 2014 7:31 pm Disregarding the opposition he had faced for having supported the Prime Minister’s Swachh Bharat Mission, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor launched a cleanliness drive in his constituency here on Saturday. Inaugurating the cleanliness drive at Vizhinjam coast, a part of his Thiruvananthapuram constituency, Tharoor reiterated his earlier stand that Swacch Bharat Mission is the dream of Gandhiji. Ten days back, Tharoor was removed as party spokesman after Congress state leadership sought action against him. “As a Congress worker, I would not leave the swacch of the country to any other party. Swachh Bharat is not the monopoly of anyone. It is the dream of Gandhiji. I would implement the cleanliness drive in my constituency. Whatever be the politics, let the country is virtuous. Every Indian should strive to clean his country. Nobody is going to ask about the politics of a person who engages himself in a cleanliness drive,” said Tharoor. Tharoor spent around one hour in the sanitation drive, which was participated by Congress leaders and local people in Vizhinjam mandalam. He went around picking garbage from public places in the company of local party workers and his aides. Later he tweeted, ” a clean India requires on label. Why cede Gandhiji’s sanitation drive to any party. A national cause,” he said. Congress state leadership had been critical of Tharoor acknowledging Modi’s invitation to join Swachch Bharat mission. Reacting to Saturday’s cleanliness drive, party spokesman Ajay Tharayil said the it was meant to get media attention. - See more at: indianexpress/article/india/india-others/shashi-tharoor-launches-swachh-bharat-mission-in-his-constituency/#sthash.lA4iC0gp.dpuf
