I really

hate when they say that. So I want to clean it and make India cleaner than now, so I can bring my Korean friends and say, ‘Look at this, this is India, a very clean, very nice place.’ Of course, I know there are places like Gurgaon, Noida, Himachal Pradesh, Kerala, they are all very clean. But Delhi is the capital, so we have to clean it. We should clean it.”His candid response, rooted in both pride and a sense of responsibility, has resonated widely online, with many calling his efforts both inspiring and thought-provoking.The video was captioned, “He didn’t say ‘ye mera kaam nahi hai’ or ‘government kyun nahi karti.’ He is not even Indian.
