In April 2018, the story...
of the electrification of Manipur's Leisang village...
was tweeted by PM Modi himself.
The PM declared...
that with the electrification of this village,
the Modi government's project...
of 100% rural electrification reached its culmination.
But, local media started reporting just a few days later...
that as soon as the TV crews left, Leisang...
was engulfed in darkness again.
The local media in Manipur....
also reported from several such villages...
that refute PM Modi's claim.
The poor women of that village...
also complained that even with BJP in power in the state....
under the Modi government's Ujjwala Yojana,
they haven't yet received...
Gas cylinders.
On April 28, 2018...
India's PM Narendra Modi...
tweeted that...
claiming...
that a village in Manipur...
that has been electrified,
and with that...
all the villages in India have been electrified.
This was a tall claim and...
all of us were happy knowing it.
I am going to take you to a village that...
is just 25 KM away from Manipur's capital, Imphal.
There is such a village where...
people have never received electricity.
This is also such a village where...
there's no utility pole to be seen.
So, let's listen to the villagers...
in their own voice the problems...
they face.
