Rural Electrification was Karunanidhi’s success, claims A Raja. Tamil Nadu was one of the first states to achieve 100% Rural Electrification. No doubts about it. But was it DMK’s achievement?
Rural Electrification Corporation was formed by the Central government in 1969. And as per REC, 100% of Villages were electrified in 1987. And not 1975. But these do not cover Hamlets (குக்கிராமங்கள்) https://recindia.nic.in/download/TAMILNADU.pdf
