Did Prime Minister Narendra Modi have his facts wrong when he claimed during his address to the nation from the ramparts of the Red Fort that Nagla Fatela, a tiny village in Uttar Pradesh, had finally been electrified, seven decades after independence?
While the government has claimed significant increase in funds for farm credit, PMKSY and PKVY, facts show a different story.
Nagla Fatela, the village Prime Minister said had finally got electricity, is still without power, as are 1,282 other habitats in this UP district. Now, officials are scurrying to realise Modi's claim.
The PM hailed the armed forces in context of Kargil Vijay Divas and paid tributes to the fallen heroes.
