Microsoft Co-founder Bill Gates on Tuesday said the leadership of the PM Narendra Modi-led government played an important role in improving sanitation across India. He tweeted, "Now is the time to build on the success of Swachh Bharat." Gates earlier said the government should be congratulated for focusing on sanitation as malnutrition rates are substantially above what people would expect.
