Congress-ruled Karnataka has pipped all other states, including BJP-ruled ones, in implementing PM Modis Swachh Bharat mission. The state tops the country in the number of toilets built under government programmes so far in fiscal 2014-15 — Karnataka has built 3.57 lakh, or about 15% of the total 25.30 lakh toilets built in the country this fiscal year. Figures compiled by the Union Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation under the Swachh Bharat (Gramin) scheme show that the PMs home state of Gujarat has built just 1.34 lakh toilets. The population of Gujarat and Karnataka are almost similar —according to 2011 census, Gujarat had a population of 6 crore and Karnataka, 6.1 crore. By August 15 next year, Karnataka hopes to make 10,000 villages opendefecation free. economictimes.indiatimes/news/politics-and-nation/congress-ruled-karnataka-pips-bjp-ruled-states-in-implementing-pm-modis-swachh-bharat-mission/articleshow/45846851.cms
