Congress won Karnataka by promising 5 things:
[1] GRUHA JYOTHI: 200 units of free electricity per month to every household.
[2] GRUHA LAKSHMI SCHEME: ₹2,000/month to every woman head of household.
[3] UCHITA PRAYANA: Free bus travel for all women across the state of Karnataka.
[4] YUVA NIDHI: ₹3,000/month for unemployed graduates & ₹1,500/month for unemployed diploma holders.
[5] ANNA BHAGYA: Free 10 kg of rice per person per month to BPL families.
This will cost 50,000 Crore.
Before you gasp, understand:
That Congress basically copied AAP's strategy from Delhi.
With more elections on the way, the freebie political strategy will become more extravagant. Politicians will make bigger and better promises.
If history teaches us anything, it is that there is no such thing as a free lunch. Someone always pays the tab.
In this case, that 'someone' is the one who is able to read and understand this tweet-- a middle class tax paying Indian, waiting for better days.
In 1947 on the cusp of Indian Independence, Winston Churchill supposedly said “…all Indian leaders will be of low calibre & men of straw.” Today, during the 75th year of our Independence, we’re poised to see a man of Indian origin anointed as PM of the UK. Life is beautiful…
Trust Swaminathan Aiyar for honesty so rare in our public debate. Anti-Narmada campaign wasn’t just a giant con, it was another far-Left “block everything” hobbyhorse at the cost of the poor, farmers, & tribals. India should thank people of Gujarat & MP for defeating it.
Proud moment for India to pip UK, our colonial ruler, as the 5th largest economy: India $3.5trn vs UK $3.2trn.But a reality check of population denominator: India: 1.4 bn vs UK.068 bn.Hence,per capita GDP we at $2,500 vs $47,000. We have miles to go…Let’s be at it!
Shame on Indigo!! On top of this CEO coming out justifying this. Have already started avoiding Indigo as much as possible. Will try to stop from now. Hopefully no other parent need to go through this. SHAME!! #BoycottIndigo

Surprised with companies inventing rules to use pandemic to earn money. Staying with @clubmahindra madikeri starting Sunday. Received call today that they wont allow outside food in resort Still trying to understand how that will help control covid @anandmahindra#expectedbetter
I salute Japan & Tokyo. Despite all the anxieties & criticism & the financial burdens, they held the Games in the context of a resurgent pandemic. They built as effective a sanitized bubble as they could. And they taught us that ‘The Show must go on.’
SOS, there is a shortage of oxygen in columbia aisa hospital, palam vihar, gurgaon, my brother Munish is admitted there (room no. 131/1) in covid ward. requesting you to please arrange the oxygen supply /cylinder asap. written letter from hospital @DC_Gurugram@cmohry@mlkhattar
I cannot deny that I had goosebumps on seeing this. This is the RIGHT way to project India’s mission & place in the world. Thank you to our vaccine manufacturers & the Govt. for making us so proud.
Indian farmer incomes are too low, less than half the average per capita GDP of India. The new laws liberalize agriculture and attempt to increase incomes.
This isn't about a twitter battle or which pop star said what. This is about true change in our country. Take it seriously.
Couldn’t bring myself to swipe down after seeing this.Don’t know many people-wealthy or otherwise-who’d donate their home savings for a cause. If the @timesofindia journalist who covered this vouches for its accuracy,it’ll be my privilege to compensate the couple for their loss.
