There is nothing called free. All the tax payers will have to pay for these political parties sops. Remember one thing all these politicians (jokers) from the PM (MMS) to finance minster (PC) are now politicians who were once the so called Economists. They are on the look out for a vote bank for their petty gains. Also the BJP is trying to follow. The best thing for us is to leave them alone and look for independent candidates who can take our country ahead
