Rahul Gandhi slams Modi's “Swachh Bharat” campaign

New Delhi, Apr 12 (IBNS): Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his “Swachh Bharat” campaign and said he lacks “lack of strategy and vision” in carrying out the cleanliness drives.

"This Prime Minister talks about Swachh Bharat. His government is in power here. There is a BJP-Shiv Sena government here and there is cooperation between them. However, I feel that there is no strategy or vision though slogans on  Swachh Bharat are chanted regularly," Gandhi told reporters.
Gandhi visited Mumbai on Tuesday and reached the Deonar garbage dumping ground where fire had broken out recently.

He also visited Mumbai's Zaveri Bazaar where jewellers are protesting against Centre's excise duty proposal.

Prime Minister Modi had launched the Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan on Oct 2, 2014.
