The government on Thursday announced results of the ‘Swachh Survekshan-2017’ and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home constituency, Varanasi, is nowhere in top 10, neither in top 20 or 30.
The holy city has been ranked at no. 32 with Indore being the cleanest city of India and Gonda the dirtiest.
Before the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, Varanasi (Kashi) was known only as the holy city of India and famous for its ‘Ghats.’ But ever since Prime Minister Narendra Modi decided to contest from Varanasi, the city became high profile and famous for everything.
With Prime Minister himself being the flag bearer of “Swachh Bharat” mission, people were hoping Varanasi to do better.
Apart from Varanasi, UP CM Yogi Adityanath’s home turf Gorakhpur has performed poorly and ranked 314 in the list.
The survey was carried out by the Quality Council of India, which had deployed 421 assessors for on the spot assessment of 17,500 locations in 434 cities and towns.
Here is the complete list of cities covered in the Swachh Bharat 2017 survey and their rankings:
