Villagers in this UP village surprised that Narendra Modi lied about them in his I-Day speech

Rashmun wrote:A short journey from Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in his Independence Day address, there is a village in Hathras called Nagla Fatela. “It takes only three hours to reach Nagla Fatela. But it took 70 years for electricity to reach there.”
On the ground, in the village, however, this statement came as a surprise to residents, many of whom have been living without electricity.

The village has about 600 homes — 450 without power. The 150-odd homes that do get electricity rely on illegal ‘katia’ connections: they have connected their homes to a transformer meant to run 22 tubewells, and, in return, pay Rs 395 for two months to the Dakshinanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited (DVVNL), village pradhan Yogesh Kumar told The Indian Express.

“Perhaps, the Prime Minister hasn’t been made aware of the condition of our village,” said Ullanoor Usmani, a resident.
Nagla Fatela, about 300 km from New Delhi, has a population of 3,500, with about 900 registered voters. It is one of the 10,045 villages where infrastructure was provided under the Prime Minister’s rural electrification drive. According to the Ministry of Power, complete electrification of 18,475 villages will be done by May 2017.

“It’s true that the government made arrangements for electrification of our village under the Deen Dayal Upadhyay Gram Jyoti Yojana. We got poles, wires and meters but power supply remains a distant dream for us,” said pradhan Kumar.
Photos shared by the Prime Minister’s Office showing villagers watching TV on Independence Day also surprised locals. “These pictures are not of our village. The one with balloons seems to be of Nagla Sindhi, another village in Hathras which was electrified under a similar scheme,” said Devendra Singh, former pradhan of Nagla Fatela.
