Union Textiles Minister Smriti Irani has started a new campaign on Twitter and Twitteratis couldn’t be happier to join in.
Celebrating the Indian cotton industry, Irani recently posted a picture of herself in a cotton saree on social media site and captioned it: “I celebrate Indian summers and cotton industry with my #CottonIsCool look. What is your #CottonIsCool look?!”
