*FREEBIES VERSUS WELFARE * There is a big difference between freebies and welfare of the people in our democratic nation with people's increasing aspirations and where there are an increasing number of crorepatis and the poor and downtrodden still existing who are malnourished and living from hand to mouth! Matter reached the Supreme Court refusing to adjudicate but stating "the idea to derecognize political parties for promoting freebies during polls is undemocratic!" There is nothing wrong in free water and electricity upto a certain amount of units. This not only incentivizes minimizing consumption of these vital and precious resources, but helps the poor who use little of these resources because they cannot afford it ! Also giving everyone free education, health services and other benefits like free rations for BPL families should in fact be encouraged. Weigh this with the freebies and perks our elected representatives/politicians get!. The contrast is shocking!This is not included in revadi VIP culture? Right now the BJP is all guns out trying to discredit the welfare measures successfully implemented by the AAP. There are lots of debates on this topic in the media and what clearly comes across is that all parties indulge in it, but when the BJP does it, it is welfare and when opposition does it, it is freebies or bribing and corruption!
