Elections are to be held in five states. MP, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Telangana and Mizoram. The sixth state, Odisha, may also join the fray, but it is yet to be decided. In five states where elections are due by the end of the year, this time there will be a lot of freebies. Congress and AAP are working hard to distribute the Revdi. They are benefiting from it to a great extent. It will not be surprising if the BJP, which was opposing free hawkers, reconsiders its decision after taking a lesson from the results of Karnataka.
It is worth mentioning that the BJP had taken a principled decision last year itself to refrain from announcements like free electricity, water, gas cylinders and loan waiver, but small announcements according to the needs of the states benefited the Congress. In view of this, BJP can also focus on different types of small schemes-announcements for the states along with the schemes of the Centre. Same is the case with politics. When all the parties are engaged in the race for this free hawker, why should the BJP lag behind?
The central government is considering expanding the scope of the Ujjwala scheme.
It seems BJP is in the process of making a combo for the center and the state, so that its slogan of double engine government can also be strengthened and a better combination of national-local can also be made. Some schemes of the central government are such that they make a big impact at the local level as well, their scope can be increased in a few days. Like Kisan Samman Nidhi. The amount given under this scheme can also be increased and the upper limit of eligible farmers can also be increased.
Similarly, the idea of increasing the scope of Ujjwala Yojana is also going on. Maybe in a few days an announcement to this effect will come out!
In fact, on Wednesday itself, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said in Rajasthan that the state government is busy distributing free rewadis here. This is not good for the economic condition of the country and the state. It is right too! While looting the public money like this, the governments should think something. After all, the burden of these free schemes has to be borne by the people.
Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot has announced that 100 units of electricity will be free for every household in the state.
The surprising thing is that the Prime Minister had just returned to Delhi from Rajasthan that Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot made another big announcement. Hundred units of electricity were made free for every household in the state. This announcement is not always the same. Earlier the scope of such announcement was limited. That is, it was beneficial only after spending electricity within 100 units. Full money was to be paid as soon as 101 units were spent, but there is no limit in this announcement.
No matter how many units of electricity you spend, you don’t have to pay for 100 units. That is, every house in the state will get its benefit. Gehlot is making such an announcement as soon as possible so that the effect of subsequent announcements made by other parties becomes zero or at least reduces. It seems that they are becoming successful in their plan.
