Fact Check

The spin in the story comes here if you have noticed the scheme is only prevailed in 2 districts of UP Mirzapur has 1971 villages and Sonbhadra has 1450 villages which make a lump sum of 3500 villages. Then how come this scheme has served the people of 30k villages.

Another proof where Police Result posted about Har Ghar Nal Yojna, as you can see the article was posted on 29^th December 2021. They have specifically mentioned that the scheme has been launched in only two districts of Uttar Pradesh, Mirzapur and Sonbhadra.

Conclusion- Serving 30k villages is a fake and misleading Tweet by UP CM Yogi Adityanath.
