This presence of the mind of Modi left many on social media inspired by many thinking if the PM's gesture was towards 'Swachhta Abhiyan'.

"was that a belief of not crushing part of the plant with feet or was it it a gesture closer to Swachhta Abhiyan?," a Twitter consumer wrote.

Some Twitteratis said this was a manifestation of the down to earth nature of the prime Minister.

"A part of that bouquet fallen on the ground was picked up by NAMO. Such is the down to earth nature of our PM that he doesn't even care for any protocol," wrote a Twitter person.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to deal with the Indian community on the mega 'Howdy Modi!' event on Sunday, September 22 at the NRG stadium. Around 50,000 people are predicted to attend the event. US President Donald Trump and other officers can also be present during the event.
