Bhopal occupies the second best spot among 434 cities, followed by Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh and Surat in Gujarat, Urban Development Minister M Venkaiah Naidu said, announcing the results.

About 18 lakh people's response to a set of six questions was taken into consideration for the survey after the elimination of duplicate feedback.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's constituency, Varanasi, has soared up the cleanliness scale, occupying the 32nd position in 'Swachh Survekshan-2017', which is a part of the Modi government's flagship Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan. It had ranked 65th last year and 418th in 2014. Mysuru, which had bagged the first spot for the last two years, slipped to the fifth position.
