Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said that he considers it good talking about cleanliness in the Parliament.
"Parliament talks about cleanliness now, I am also criticised for it but I do not consider this to be a bad thing," Prime Minister Modi said while addressing the nation in the 12th edition of his 'Mann ki Baat' programme.
Meanwhile, the Prime Minister also expressed his delight over the number of phone calls he received in his programme.
"I have tried something new this time- asked people to share their questions through telephone. I got over 55,000 calls," he said.
"One would feel there is negativity all around but the phone calls, they had so many suggestions and so much positivity," he added.
