The article has rightly said about populist act by politicians. For example, in Tamil Nadu free TVs.Free gas stoves. Two days before the finance minister K.Anbazhagan warning people those who are selling the free TVS. Why to give free items and then take action? The freebies initiated by congress were the root cause of wide-spread corruption among politicians.
The truth is the people in need never benefitted by these schemes,but politician always. I seldom see this type of announcements by BJP CM's.
