Megastar Amitabh Bachchan and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis picked up brooms during a 'Maha Cleanathon' event held as a part of the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan on September 2.

Bachchan, the campaign ambassador, and Fadnavis took part in the event, along with volunteers and students, at the state government-run J J Hospital in Mumbai.

"Fifty cities in Maharashtra will be 'swachh' by October 2 and 7,000 villages in the state are now open-defecation free," Fadnavis said at the event.

The PINK actor tweeted, 'At #MahaCleanathon to acknowledge the Swachch Bharat campaign in Maharashtra, and to work so many others follow..'
