Finance Minister Arun Jaitley Saturday said that the NDA government has been able to convert cleanliness into a movement and 'Swachh Bharat' was among the key achievements.

Presenting the union budget in the Lok Sabha, Jaitley said that success of Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana, coal auctions and Swatch Bharat were among key achievements of the work done by the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government since it came to office in May last year.

"We have been able to convert it (Swachh Bharat) into a movement," Jaitley said.
