Leisang, a remote village in Manipur received access to electricity on Saturday (April 28) and the Indian government’s sense of joy clearly knew no bounds, as all of them took to social media, especially Twitter, to share congratulatory messages. Electrification of all villages in India was among the many promises of the Narender Modi government before they stormed to power in 2014. All of this, amidst the counter-arguments of the Opposition who insisted that the government was “celebrating inefficiencies and taking ‘fake credit’ for the Congress government’s work.” But what got netizens to sit up and take note is this picture that Piyush Goyal tweeted along with his congratulatory message.
The picture shows a comparison of India’s global aerial nighttime images — with more lights glimmering in the ‘after’ picture than the ‘before’ one, in the country as seen from a satellite. The minister of railways and coal’s heart must have been at the right place, but many on Twitter were quick to school him, that these are pictures released by NASA, with the ‘before’ picture from 2012 and the ‘after’ one from the year 2016.
Considering how the Prime Minister promised electrification of India’s villages on August 15, 2015, the pictures, therefore, are not the best indication of the government’s claim. And Twitterati wasted no time, minced no words, in reminding Goyal.
