Modi Government's 'Lofty' Claims About Digital India Marred by 'Unfulfilled Promises': Kharge
- Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge accused the Modi government on July 1, 2025, of unfulfilled promises in its decade-old Digital India programme.
- Kharge highlighted that the BharatNet project's deadline has been extended multiple times over the past 11 years, resulting in broadband reaching only about 35% of the intended villages.
- He also highlighted a 76.25% increase in cybersecurity incidents from 2020 to 2024, along with a nearly threefold surge in scams involving fraudulent arrests and associated cyber offenses between 2022 and 2024.
- Kharge stated that 75.3% of people aged 15 and above lack computer skills, 65% of villages remain uncovered by broadband, and nearly 7 crore workers were excluded from MNREGA payments due to AADHAAR requirements.
- These issues suggest persistent digital exclusion and privacy concerns amid government claims of national telecom revival and fast 5G rollout under PM Modi’s leadership.
