A recent turn of events in the United States has proven that our Prime Minister Narendra Modi is indeed a man of his words. Right after his arrival in the US on September 21 for the ‘Howdy, Modi’ event, he sent across a silent but strong message on cleanliness.

After his jet landed on the George Bush Intercontinental Airport for the mega community event, dignitaries from the country presented a bouquet of flowers to PM Modi. However, one flower fell off the bouquet. Almost instinctively, Modi then stooped down and picked it up himself.
