Narayanaswamy can be seen in the video, donning white clothes and dhoti hitched up, extracting muck from a dark and dirty drain, was seen by many to be in sharp contrast to events where politicians are seen cleaning “sanitized” and deliberately littered spots or posing for cameras sporting gloves and brand new brooms.
