"Particularly for those who have undisclosed income, I would like to present an example," Modi said in his monthly "Mann ki Baat" radio address.
"Whether my words have any effect on tax evaders, the example of Chandrakant Kulkarni, whom I met in the smart cities event in Pune on Saturday will surely influence them," Modi said.
He elaborated how Kulkarni, with a monthly pension of Rs 16,000, contributes Rs 5,000 every month towards the Clean India initiative.
