He also mentioned that the PM had launched the national cleanliness campaign from the Valmiki Temple at Panchkuian Road, Delhi, underscoring his respect for the entire community.
Sachdeva had joined the grand chariot procession on the occasion which commenced at Red Fort and concluded at Mandir Marg, alongside thousands of Maharishi Valmiki’s followers, whom he greeted on the auspicious day.
Meanwhile, a delegation of senior BJP leaders, led by Sachdeva, visited the Valmiki Temple at Mandir Marg this morning to offer floral tributes to him on the occasion, while the BJP leaders also joined the grand chariot procession, greeting Maharishi Valmiki’s followers.
