However, terming the Prime Minister’s tweet as an old-fashioned way of saying lie, the Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) has condemned the claim and said that the statement is a blatant lie. The Congress party in a release claimed that till 2014, when the UPA was in power, as high as 97% villages across the nation were already electrified under the scheme, Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana (RGGVY). Apparently, at the time of NDA’s succeeding at the centre, only 18 thousand villages were left out of the radar of the electrification. In this sense, the opposition Congress said that the NDA in the last four years has electrified only these 18 thousand villages which they belief is not a big achievement if it is true at all. The Congress claimed that till 2014, the former UPA had already completed 90% electrification of the villages out of targeted 26,000 villages. “Now the BJP-led NDA government is taking the credit of others work, besides renaming the scheme to Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana (DDUGJY)”, said the Congress. Considering all these claims, the Congress has demanded the BJP-led NDA government to clarify which are the villages they have brought under the achievement of the hundred percent electrification across the nation.
