New Delhi: On Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s birthday, the nation is observing its second ‘Good Governance Day’.
Several functions are being organised across the country to mark the day. Observing the Good Governance Day, BJP Karnataka will carry out Swacch Bharat campaign and activity all across Karnataka.
On the occasion, Bharatiya Janata Party MPs and party office bearers will visit different areas to highlight the work done by the NDA Government for the betterment of the poor and youth of the country.
Meanwhile, Congress leader Shashi Tharoor took a jibe at the BJP in a tweet saying, “No references to “Happy Good Governance Day” this year, unlike last. That’s because Christmas is visible everywhere and good governance is not.”
PM sends in his wishes
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday extended his warm wishes to Atal Bihari Vajpayee on his 91st birthday.

“Birthday greetings to our beloved Atal ji. We salute this great personality who provided exceptional leadership to India at a crucial time. Be it as a party leader, Parliamentarian, Minister, Prime Minister, Atal ji distinguished himself in every role. This is his speciality,” Prime Minister Modi said in a series of tweets.
