Ramdev and his aide Acharya Balkrishna today launched a cleanliness drive at Haridwar railway station here and announced that Patanjali Yogpeeth will develop the railway station as a model by beautifying its premises with medicinal plants.
Describing cleanliness as integral to Mahatma Gandhi's vision of India, he said the idea behind Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Swachch Bharat' campaign will add to the country's prestige.
He said lakhs of Pantanjali's volunteers across the country's six hundred districts carried out a cleanliness drive today which will go on for a few hours on a regular basis for a year.
Speaking on the occasion, Acharya Balkrishna said clean living holds the key to healthy living.
