LUCKNOW: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will lead the 'Swachhta Hi Seva' (Cleanliness is Service) campaign tomorrow in Varanasi, while state BJP chief Mahendra Nath Pandey will be leading the drive in Ghaziabad.

"Apart from this, efforts will also be made to make cleanliness an integral part of each and every citizen's life," the statement said.
