New Delhi: Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal gave tips to everyone ahead of Diwali to ensure ‘Lakshmi’ in their lives and prevent her from leaving. For those who do not know, the advice is related to the government’s Swachh Bharat campaign.
लक्ष्मी जी स्वच्छ और सुंदर स्थान पर निवास करती हैं, और जहां स्वच्छता हो, ऐसे स्थान से लक्ष्मी जी कभी रूठती भी नही हैं।
माँ लक्ष्मी का सम्मान करें, अपने आस पास के वातावरण को साफ रखें, उन्हें रूठने और जाने को विवश ना करें। #DontLetHerGo pic.twitter.com/nmXnZb8hZy

Worried over unemployment, Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi said the BJP has done nothing but lied to the people of India for the past six years. But didn’t the people elect them back just five months ago, sir?
In last 6 years the BJP government has done nothing but lied to the people of India. The biggest lie was that they will create jobs and provide employment to young people. https://t.co/xIb2JV6D2l

Youth Congress campaign in-charge, Srivatsa Y.B. tried to tell the difference between RSS’s Hindutva philosophy and the philosophy of India. Is anyone listening?
Lying, Cowardice & Hate are Savarkar's sanskar. They are the basis for building RSS and not our nation
Truth, Sacrifice & Love are the basis on which our founding fathers Gandhi, Nehru, Ambedkar, Patel, Azad etc built our nation
Hindutva is a RSS philosophy, not India's https://t.co/oncAqByj8g
