Excellent news. Though it has taken all these years, it has happened at last. It's an accomplishment to be proud of, just like when India was declared polio-free.

If we are so happy, wonder how much happy those people might me who got to see electricity for the first time in their life in their villages.

This Govt has done what it had promised in 2014.

People are free to challenge official govt documents on court if they believe that Govt is spreading lies. This is not a political manifesto by party.

Some people, however, said on Twitter their villages had yet to be electrified despite the government's claim.

"No. Not every village yet," said Twitter user Dilip Gupta, identifying his village in a district of Uttar Pradesh in the north. "Over the course of years my native place has been expecting electricity every year, but it hasn't arrived yet."

I think this thread tiltle should have a exclamation mark in end.

All villages have now been electrified!
This sounds like a very big achievement but it's not. For a village to be "electrified", only 10% houses need to have access to electricity.

So if there's a village where 90% houses don't have electricity, it will still be called as an Electrified Village.

Right every village having electricity doesn't means every house having electricity.
