The Prime Minister congratulated the Election Commission and everyone involved in the voting process for successfully conducting the Lok Sabha elections. He mentioned the ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ campaign launched this year on World Environment Day and said that the campaign to plant trees under it is going on at a fast pace. He said, “Everyone is planting trees for their mother. Whether they are rich or poor, whether they are working women or housewives.
