This happened when Akash's father, Kantilal Jain, who is an ardent follower of Modi got the Swachh Bharat logo printed on the card which Akash posted from his Twitter handle and tagged the prime minister in the post on April 1.
Dear @narendramodi, My dad specifically wanted @swachhbharat logo to be there on my sister's wedding invitation, hence got it. @PMOIndia pic.twitter.com/kD28savm82

Modi, who currently follows only 1,698 people from across the world, not only followed Jain, but also retweeted his post within 48 hours.
What a moment. PM @narendramodi ji retweeted my tweet & followed me back on twitter. Modi ji has been an inspiration to my dad as well. pic.twitter.com/JIoy774SUY

Apart from Modi, other BJP leaders have also appreciated the initiative taken by Akash's family. Akash also said that his father has been supporting Modi's initiative from long and hence decided to do something that could promote 'Clean India' drive.

"One of the most followed people on Twitter follows me. Nothing can be bigger than this," he added.
