The politics and economics of freebies[4]

[Posted on : 2020-01-18 by Shiv Nalapat] With the Delhi Assembly elections now only weeks away, a familiar political issue has reared its head, and judging from the latest exchange between Aam Aadmi Party MP Sanjay Singh and Bharatiya Janata Party MP Gautam Gambhir, promises to linger all the way up to the day ballots are cast. Earlier in the week, Gambhir took aim at Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwals “freebie” schemes alleging that the state government was negligent in doling out free utilities to the capitals electorate, suggesting instead that those who could afford to pay them, must pay at least nominal charges.

Delhis BJP chief Manoj Tiwari doubled down on Gambhirs accusation, going so far as to call AAPs schemes an “election gimmick.” AAP MP Singh was quick to retort to Gambhir accusing the BJP leadership of being “anti-development and regressive.” Singh also stated that AAP government, if voted to power for a successive term, would continue to provide the free services for another 60 months, stressing their importance especially as the nation itself experiences a prolonged economic slowdown.
