Prime Minister Modi recently inaugurated the Rs 14,850 croreExpressway in Bundel Kant, Uttar Pradesh. While speaking in this program, he said that free schemes are very dangerous for the development of the country.
He added, "Some people feel that they can buy people's votes by announcing free programs.People should unite and defeat this bad culture.
The culture of free planning should be eradicated from Indian politics," he said. A few days after the event, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, who is close to Modi, announced that free travel for women on government buses for 2 days and free travel for women above 60 years of age will be implemented on the occasion of RakshaBandhan.
Yesterday, the Supreme Court registered an opinion against Prime Minister Modi's speech saying that it is not possible to ban political parties from announcing the distribution of free goods at this time.
While Prime Minister Modi has spoken against free schemes, Yogi Adityanath's announcement of free schemes has created confusion within the BJP. Political commentators have opined that there has been friction between Modi and Yogi due to a difference in policy.
It has become a habit for the public to expect that freebies will be announced whenever the election comes.Eradicating it completely has become impossible. This is what the Supreme Court has confirmed.
AamAadmi Party leader Kejriwal has promised to give an incentive of Rs 1000 each to women if they win in Gujarat. First, Prime Minister Modi should completely abolish freebies in BJP-ruled states without causing conflict in his party.
Ready to challenge BJP to face elections without any free notification?
This is unlikely to be answered immediately. Let's wait and see!
