PM Modi today addressed the beneficiaries of Saubhagya scheme through NaMo app.
He said, "One of the priorities for us is the development of Eastern India. About 14,500 villages out of 18,000 villages not electrified were in Eastern India. We have changed that. Eastern India can play an even bigger role in India's development journey. In 2005, the then govt promised to electrify every village by 2009. The then President of the ruling party went a step ahead & said they will bring electricity to every home. Needless to say, none of that happened during their long tenure."
