Here are five big quotes from the PM’s address:
"I have invited 9 people and asked them to come to public places and work towards a Clean India. I ask them to invite 9 more people too,"Mr Modi said. The group he has tagged includes Congressman Shashi Tharoor and actors Kamal Haasan and Salman Khan.
"We reached Mars. No PM or Minister went. It was the people who did it, our scientists who did it. So can't we create a Clean India?" the 64-year-old leader asked.
But cleaning up the country cannot be the sole responsibility of sanitation workers. "Do citizens have no role in this? We have to change this mindset," the PM said.
PM Modi urged that this campaign should not be politicised and said, "If this is evaluated by a photo-opportunity on a given day, then we would be doing a disservice to India. We all must come together and do this (clean India) wherever we are."
"This is not about Modi... Modi is only one of its 1.2 billion people... This is a people's task."
