Ahmedabad, Oct 2 (IANS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said that rural India has declared itself Open Defecation Free (ODF) on the occasion of 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, a target which the Centre had set in 2014.

"Today, rural India and its villages have declared themselves ODF. This the power and source of success of the ongoing 'Swachhta Abhiyan' (cleanliness drive) being run based on self-motivation and with public participation," he said in his address at the Sabarmati river front.

Making the announcement, Modi said that this motivational place of Sabarmati has become the witness of this success.

The Modi government had launched the Swachh Bharat Mission-Gramin (SBM-G) from October 2, 2014 with an aim to achieve ODF India by October 2, 2019.

    India has over 640,000 villages (2011 census).

    The population in these villages range from under 500 to over 10,000 people.

    What methodology did each of these 640,000 villages employ to become ODF - in the absence of toilets in over 90% of dwellings?

    What reporting system was used by them to convey the "good news" to the Gujju-bhai?

    Lies must have some limits.

    As you say ground reality is much different. This is just an announcement to say some efforts have gone in. Elections are also nearing in some states.

    Despite the announcement of the milestone on Gandhi Jayanti, crucial levels of verification have not been carried out in large parts of the country. The Union government is claiming to have achieved something that a majority of Indians know is untrue.


    Here's BJP Expose on BJP TOILET SCAM;

    BJP Claims Cost of Construction per Toilet:
    Under UPA➡ Rs 1750
    Under Modi➡ Rs 6176
    (Huge Difference of Rs 4426 per Toilet)

    4426 x 34,00,000 Toilets➡
    Rs 15,048,400,000💰 Was Scammed by BJP.


    PM Modi in one rally in Bihar has said that 8.5 Lakh toilets were built in 1-week Swatch Bharat Abhiyan.

    Raj Thackrey calculates 850000/604800 = 1.40 Toilet per Second.

    Raj Thackrey: That means 7 toilets were built in 5 Seconds. He then adds even we cannot finish our disposing work in toilet in 5 seconds and this Man i.e PM says he has built 5 toilets in 7 seconds...

    With a Difference of Rs 4426 per Toilet,
    Totaling to Rs. 15,048,400,00
    Of TaxPayer Money,
    BJP's Toilets STINK
