Joining the bandwagon is Ankit Tiwari. The singer, known for his songs like Teri Galliyan, is often seen participating in social causes and movements that benefit society. Recently, the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, stepped forward to spread the word of `Vocal For Local`. Ankit has extended his support. Sending out a request to his followers, the singer said in an exclusive statement to Mid-Day, "I urge people to go vocal for local and to use local brands instead of going for big names. As PM Modi said our main aim should be Atmanirbhar Bharat and that should be our main agenda to use homeland products also I request everyone to control air pollution and keep environmental concerns in mind while celebrating this festival."
