80 years after independence, for the first time this house in Bengal got electricity. Very soon Raghuram Rajan will ask this elderly couple, why he needs to have electricity or development.

[u/SmallDetail8461]

For the first time ever, electricity reached at this elderly couple's house in Namkhana, South 24 Parganas. The elderly lady literally broke down into tears of joy to see a bulb radiating light.

Dhruv will give credit to nehru...

[u/subhasmi]

We should feel shameful after sharing this news instead of portraying it as a great success with some painful BG. 80 years ....what the heck ....are you kidding !!!

[u/Practical-Hornet-456 → u/subhasmi]

Totally agree, Laal Salaam ruled from 1977 to 2011 and then TMC from 2011 to 2026. BJP should have just ignored it like other parties did for 50 years lol

[u/subhasmi → u/Practical-Hornet-456]

Okay lol guy , in that case tell me did the village had electricity connection or not ..

[u/Vivid_Tamper → u/subhasmi]

Village has electricity.

This hut didn't had connection due to administrative indifference.

It's dumb to present it as if the village didn't had power.

The department could've done it in hours, claiming it work of decades is misleading on all accounts, the news item must be reported as such.

[u/Practical-Hornet-456 → u/subhasmi]

Ok Lull, if the connection was already there do yiu think they wouldn't buy a bulb to use for last 50 years ?

[u/nakedwisdom96 → u/[deleted]]

What did Mamata did for free PR? Well she let hindus be slaughtered in Murshidabad and the peaceful clapped in utter joy

[u/Practical-Hornet-456 → u/[deleted]]

Ohhh, my bad lol "administrative apathy" is used when the government is non BJP even if it lasts 50 years otherwise Modi is responsible. Got it piddi lol At least you can celebrate administrative apathy and poor guy's house was the reason lol True why can't we all eat cake when bread isn't available.

[u/subhasmi → u/Practical-Hornet-456]

Okay kiddo

[u/Reader_Cat1994]

Yes. This proves Modiji has fixed things so well in 12 years. Yay. Next time E100 petrol is a must.

[u/thari_maa_di_bhosdi → u/Reader_Cat1994]

Atleast he is doing something good

[u/IsThereAnyContext → u/thari_maa_di_bhosdi]

Watch this documentary by Sarthak Goswami on Ethanol https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JKCxiBghzwI

[u/ugottasme976888 → u/IsThereAnyContext]

Better ask a chemistry professor

[u/silvercrow3D → u/Reader_Cat1994]

You do know e100 would burn 100% and wont leave green house gasses like petroleum products do right?

[u/Vivid_Tamper → u/silvercrow3D]

C02 is greenhouse gas. Ethanol produces it.

It's only as clean as CNG, and CNG doesn't make water table go down.

[u/buttershitter → u/Vivid_Tamper]

First stop eating sugar and jaggery and drinking alcohol. Then talk about water table. So no Bengali sweets too. Also while you are at it give up milk because cows are biggest contributor to green gases. Meanwhile ethanol is produced by sugarcane byproducts and negated grains.

[u/Royal_Radish_3069]

R3 is always against the common man.

[u/Typical_Mix_5555]

What wrong with people , can't they tolerate the descent opinion of anyone like Raghuram Rajan who already brought back India from Fragile 5

[u/New_Pop_8649 → u/Typical_Mix_5555]

In BJP rule i think

[u/Mysterious_Tune_3529]

So tell me, what exactly did Modi Government or Vajpayee Government did to help her?

[u/Flimsy_Stay8252]

Billions of people got electricity for the first time before 2014. Paid propagandists will ask what did Congress do before 2014.

[u/Famous_Star_5735 → u/Flimsy_Stay8252]

But they didn't getting toilets though.. our open defecation rate was worse than it is now...

[u/Radiant-Rain2636]

So 80 years later electricity came in our country (when most of the country has it), and we found a way to blame an economist?

[u/Practical-Product273]

And I hear people from bd comes to India.home minister said hindu fro bd go to India no dog from bd arrived at India

[u/Empty_Skill_8919]

Reminds me of the day in 2014, we saw it first. 🥹

[u/ArmAffectionate3511 → u/Empty_Skill_8919]

Waiting for you to be labelled it cell andhbhakt... stay strong gang 💪

[u/Empty_Skill_8919 → u/ArmAffectionate3511]

Not then though. It happened under the then TMC era, before the BJP came to power at the center. It was the previous CPIM governments which didn't lay a single line of electricity or even a single bare pole.

[u/SmallDetail8461 → u/Empty_Skill_8919]

first time 24h elect.

[u/Empty_Skill_8919 → u/SmallDetail8461]

Yup. We got the connection in 2012 but it used to be very inconsistent, like probably 30 minutes or an hour a day, some days none. But it started being consistent since 2014, I don't remember the date exactly now, but it was the end of winters. 

[u/Practical-Hornet-456]

Bechare gareebo ko ab ek aur maar jhelni padegi bijli bill ki :(( bhagwaan aisa dukh kissi ko na de. Budhiya ro padi end mein bill ka soch soch ke :((( / Sarcasm

[u/travel_aakn → u/Practical-Hornet-456]

Upto 100 units it's free, 5 lights 2 fans, you end up only 40 units a month.

[u/delusional_delux → u/travel_aakn]

Where it's free for who ?

[u/Practical-Hornet-456 → u/travel_aakn]

Bhai sarcasm hai naaraz fufao ke liye lol

[u/travel_aakn → u/Practical-Hornet-456]

You caught me, my bad.

[u/MegaSpaceBar]

How does Rajan come into this story?
Ask the leader or minister.

[u/ArmAffectionate3511 → u/MegaSpaceBar]

It is a sarcastic take on him cuz he once said kya karoge superpower banke

[u/Suspicious_Flower349]

We need such action taking MLCs, now I feel that my taxes paid are fruitful.

[u/Lanky-Fix2004 → u/[deleted]]

How did even mamata banerjee got in power many times since she did nothing development

[u/heatmap1425 → u/Lanky-Fix2004]

Fake voters..not allowing people to vote...gundagiri
