Shri @RahulGandhi has tweeted a report of India Today which questions the claim of all villages being electrified. It appears neither the reporter nor Shri Gandhi cared to cross check the facts. We have cross checked the facts from the states. The facts are:
Madhya Pradesh:13 villages of Narmada valley (District Alirajpur) came under submergence. They were shifted in Falia Kadaipani of Village Kakrana. It is fully electrified. Some villagers shifted to nearby areas. These are new Falias. All revenue villages are electrified.
In Raisen District, Khananpura Village is already electrified & intensive electrification in associated Tola is in progress. The other 5 villages namely- Jaitgarh, Bili, Pond, Ramgarha and Gopalpur are forest villages wherein Households have been electrified with Solar Power.
