Modi 'Saubhagya' to light up the poor

26 Sep. 10:01

Modi started on a Rs 16,000-crore scheme, Saubhagya, that he said will deliver free electricity connections by December 2018.

“Rs 16,000 crore will be spent to bring a mammoth change in the lives of the poor,” the PM said.

Modi wanted to explain that he has experienced the many difficulties of the less well-off, doing without electricity as a student.

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Monday he will not give in his "fight against corruption.

Modi launched a Rs 16,000-crore scheme, Pradhan Mantri Sahaj Bijli Har Ghar Yojana (shortened to Saubhagya, meaning good fate) that he said will bring free electricity connections by December 2018. However, they will have to pay the monthly power bill.

Modi government's focal point on delivering on schemes like housing, power, loans and farm insurance to key sections of the electorate. Alongside electrification, the PM Awas Yojana has sanctioned more than 26 lakh houses for the urban poor and more than 1.76 lakh units have been constructed.

Another 11 lakh are being built while two lakh houses are complete under JNNURM.

Earlier, speaking at the BJP national executive, Modi said, "The battle against corruption will continue without compromise" and took a deliberate swipe at Congress, adding, "I have no relatives." The dig was aimed at controversies surrounding Robert Vadra, the son-in-law of Congress chief Sonia Gandhi.

In spite of the opposition chorus of disapproval over moves like demonetization and implementation of GST, Modi said there would be no let-up in measures against corruption and anyone caught will be punished..

OnePlus 5T Rumours: Release Date, UK Price, Features & Specifications

OnePlus 5T Rumours: Release Date, UK Price, Features & Specifications  18 Oct. 2017 21:44 OnePlus 5T could be announced on 5 November. We round-up the rumours on the new OnePlus 5T specifications, features, price and UK launch date. We’ve seen a ’T’ suffixed OnePlus before in the  OnePlus 3T . That phone arrived six months after the OnePlus 3, so the timing is right here for a successor to the  OnePlus 5  in the OnePlus 5T. However, rumours of a  leaked event invite  for 5 November have been confirmed false by OnePlus. The original T model OnePlus in essence gave the handset a speed boost, moving from the 2.2GHz Snapdragon 820 in the OnePlus 3 to the 2.35GHz Snapdragon 821 in the 3T. The new chip offered a 10 percent performance boost. OnePlus also upgraded the selfie camera from an 8Mp model to a 16Mp version that performed better in low light, and it increased the battery capacity from 3000mAh to 3400mAh. A new 128GB stor...

Check out the Nokia 2, a budget phone with a monster battery

Android Authority Check out the Nokia 2, a budget phone with a monster battery 19 hours ago HMD Global  is slowly building up its portfolio of stock-Android-running smartphones. In addition to the trio of mid-rangers (Nokia 3, 5, and 6)  it launched at MWC , the company bolstered its high-end with the  Nokia 8 , and now the other side of spectrum is getting some attention. Just  leaked by Evan Blass , the Nokia 2 looks… well, like a generic cheap phone. If you have a visceral hate of bezels, you’ll probably want to close this post and move on, but design is hardly the point here. Blass didn’t share any details about the Nokia 2, but we can make some educated guesses based on some other clues we’ve got about the phone. First, you might have noticed that the phones in the leaked renders show October 5 as the date. Dates in renders are often set to match the launch time, but this could be an old render and there’s still time for things to change. Read more Han...

BEZEL-LESS BATTLE Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 vs. Samsung Galaxy S8+: It's all in the details Wednesday, Oct 4, 2017 at 1:14 am EDT The Galaxy S8+ is still the best Android phone available today, but the Mi Mix 2 has a lot going for it. The  Galaxy S8+  is going strong five months after its release, with the phone  breaking Samsung's sales records . The South Korean manufacturer introduced the Infinity View display with the Galaxy S8 series, offering a dual curved display with minimal bezels at the top and bottom.

Xiaomi, for its part, attracted considerable attention with the Mi Mix last year, and the company has refined the bezel-less formula with the  Mi Mix 2 .
