I work in Power sector in India. The claim he electrified all the villages is pure lie and publicity gimmick.
Much of Rural electrification work was done under RGGVY scheme (Congress) . Only minor and finishing part was completed under DDUGJY (BJP).
Also, his original claim was 100% electrification. I have worked in Ladakh region of JK state which is most inaccessible and backward area and I can tell you that there are many areas in Ladakh which are still unelectrified.
- ulam2 8y agoPower sector in India employs more than 1 million people. Would they vote for modi if what you say is true?
- mayankkaizen 8y agoIt depends. Though power supply is a crisis in India, no government ever came into power or lost power because of it. Most of his supporters are ultra-nationalists/anti-muslims/anti congress. You can guess only power issue isn't going to decide the voting preference. There are many issues at play. Infrastructure is the least important of them.
- iamgopal 8y agoNeither he, nor me, claimed 100 percent electrification. Second, electrification is not only wiring to endpoint but also production and distribution capacity improvement, which actually happened in his regime.
