‘Sewa Pakhwada’ begins with sweeping of roads in Sonepat

BJP state president Mohan Badoli, along with MLA Nikhil Madaan and Sonepat Mayor Rajiv Jain, launched the ‘Sewa Pakhwada’ campaign on the occasion of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 75th birthday by participating in a cleanliness drive on the roads of Sonepat city.

Simultaneously, a blood donation camp was organised in Panipat, where over 365 individuals donated.

Speaking at the event, BJP’s Haryana state chief Mohan Badoli said Prime Minister Modi has always given the mantra of ‘Swachhta hi Sewa’ (cleanliness is service) and his life has been dedicated to social service and public welfare. He said under PM Modi’s leadership, India is progressing across all sectors and has carved out a unique identity on the global stage.

Badoli appealed to all party workers and citizens to unite in fulfilling the vision of a developed India.

He announced the ‘Sewa Pakhwada’ would be observed until October 2. As part of the fortnight-long initiative, the BJP would organise health check-up camps, blood donation drives, tree plantation activities, cleanliness campaigns, drug abuse awareness programmes and other public welfare events across the state.

Marking the beginning of the campaign, the state president planted a sapling and urged people to contribute towards a greener environment. “A clean and green environment is the foundation of life,” he stated.

On the occasion, MLA Nikhil Madaan emphasised that cleanliness is not solely the responsibility of the government, but a collective duty of all citizens. “Only when we maintain cleanliness in our surroundings can we build a healthy and clean society,” he said.

Madaan also noted under Prime Minister Modi’s leadership, the Swachh Bharat Mission has transformed into a nationwide mass movement. He appealed to all sections of society — including institutions and organisations — to actively take part in the initiative. The MLA also urged people to make cleanliness a daily habit in their homes, streets and neighbourhoods.
