Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi  Adityanath has asked the officials concerned to initiate a campaign  to ensure that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s parliamentary constituency  Varanasi is the cleanest in the country.

Modi had won the seat in the Lok Sabha elections held earlier  this year by a huge margin of 4.79 lakh votes. He had not only retained  the seat, but also saw his victory margin increase by nearly 1 lakh votes as compared to the 2014 general elections.

The chief minister held a review meeting of the development work  and law and order situation in the state here on Wednesday night  and instructed the officials to make “Kashi number 1 in the country”  in terms of cleanliness.

According to an official spokesperson, he also asked the officials  to launch special cleanliness drives in villages as well as urban  areas before the festival of Diwali.

Roads, parks and vacant plots of land should be included in the  campaign. In view of Chhath Puja, start a special campaign to clean  the ghats of the Ganga, the chief minister said.

 Do something special so that Kashi remains illuminated from Diwali  till Dev Diwali, Adityanath said as he directed the PWD to make the  roads free of potholes by October 30.

The government is committed towards the makeover of Kashi. Prime  Minister Modi had laid the foundation stone of many projects in February  2019 out which 13 have been completed and the remaining 25 will be  completed in this financial year,he said.

 The chief minister further said that the government schemes should  not be misused at all and only eligible candidates should be entitled  for beneficiary schemes.
