The video shows the PM Modi and Ankit Baiyanpuriya wielding brooms and cleaning and picking up trash and discussing their daily routines.
How much time do you devote to physical activity, PM asked Ankit Baiyanpuriya in the video, to which the latter said he spends four to five hours a day for exercise, while appreciating the Prime Minister’s fitness regime.
“I don’t exercise much but whatever is needed in daily life… I follow discipline…,” PM Modi said. PM Modi said he is yet to be disciplined when it comes to two things – sleep and food.
“In two things, I am unable to get the discipline… one is food timing and the second is that I need to allot more time to sleep which I am unable to do,” PM Modi said.
Besides PM Modi, several other BJP leaders, including Union ministers, took up cleanliness programmes in different parts of the country.
Home Minister Amit Shah was seeing participating in Ahmedabad while BJP chief JP Nadda did so in Delhi.
