Additionally, the party's national leadership has also called for special cleanliness campaigns at pilgrimage sites across states in the run-up to the January 22 opening of the Ram Temple. A special cleanliness campaign in the areas around temples and other places of worship will also be conducted, party sources informed, adding that the activities would include sweeping, collecting plastic litter, installing dustbins and using lime and clay for cleansing shrines and other places of worship.
Emphasising the need for a systematic plan, Nadda directed the state leaders to create a list of all locations for the cleanliness campaign. MPs, MLAs, party officials, and workers have been urged to actively participate in all the programmes, sources said, adding that the party has also instructed municipal bodies and other representatives to initiate cleanliness campaigns.
