#SafaWithTwitter: Vishvendra Singh gets support from Pilot, Khachariyawas, Diya Kumari & many more

Rajasthan's Cabinet Minister (Tourism & Devsthan) initiated a campaign on Twitter #SafaWithTwitter & it received huge support from public & leaders alike. 

The campaign was launched yesterday on Twitter where Vishvendra Singh himself shared a picture of him wearing Safa. The idea behind this campaign is to promote Rajasthan and it's culture.

However, the main idea was actually initiated by journalist Avinash Kalla who liked the idea of #SaffaTwitter. Minister Vishvendra Singh found the idea very innovative and in his response, he started a new trend titled #SafaWithTwitter.

In his first post, Singh nominated his fellow politicians and leaders like Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot, MLA Ruparam Murawtiya, Ramniwas Gawariya, and IFS Parveen Kaswan.

The campaign received tremendous response and was trending all day in Rajasthan, yesterday. Deputy CM Pilot shared a video in response to Singh in which he is wearing Safa in an event.
