Twitter hits gold as video of PM Modi picking up trash goes viral

'Modi's PR team is working overtime!' a user tweeted

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday went out for a stroll. However, the stroll turned into a strong PR strategy when a video of him collecting plastic bottles, plates and other garbage thrown on the beach went viral.

Clad in a black kurta-pajama, Modi was seen with a large plastic bag in hand during his early morning walk as he picked out plastic litter, water bottles strewn on the sands. The irony of it isn't lost in us too.

Walking bare foot along the sea shore, he was seen picking up slippers from the sands normally given to guests staying at the five star property.

It became much worst, when Katie Hopkins decided to laud Modi for his 'gentle heart of a giant leader'.

However, many Bollywood celebs such as Anupam Kher, Vivek Oberoi and Askhay Kumar lauded Modi for his 'selfless' persona and exemplary leadership.
