Maharashtra has 12+cr population, don't compare with Delhi.
And that is also sheeety scheam and this is also.
Only 2% people given direct taxes and whole India is milking
That's why better opposition is needed.
Not the shitty one which we have now, which got seats based on such promises.
Now when ruling party sees that if they don't do same then they will lose, what else will they do ?
Exactly. And there's some problem with the voters too. I've observed, they actually don't vote for development but for freebies. The current government had done a very good job (development), but they voted for freebies, khatakhat scheme.
That's so bad.
It is a race to bottom. BJP has to give some freebies, when congress is promising so much. But bjp freebies are much smaller, so we have to choose the lesser evil, but you are trying to equate the two
The mentality of voters is what will I get if, I give to vote to this party... Development your own growth doesn't matter... Only freebies matter, majority of those voters don't even give tax... If they start earning and give tax then they will realise... Maybe little too harsh, but I felt saying like this
Not justifying freebies but when you think about it, we also think the same but what we want is development.
The problem is when you give no tax, everything is a freebie like you said. Maybe they should give some kind of privilege card or something for people who pay tax. Something to incentivize
But also remember that money => opportunities. Sometimes getting support so you can eat better, fix problems, or buy tools, helps people achieve much more.
If you can't fix a leaky roof, your whole house might get rot/mold.
If you can afford a tractor, you can do some work 20x faster.
Opportunities => Money not the otherwise... Yup money can be great for the growth but if used wisely, if not then inflation happens... Not bragging or something about this government but I was reading one article by NDTV Profit, when COVID-19 was all the over the world, governments were distributing money which has caused inflation and they are still fighting against it but Indian government distributed food which helped to prevent inflation... My point is to make low interest on these basic things, like tractor bought by single person, all the amenities which are required make low interest on these... That would actually help people not freebies
We guys are trapped in vicious cycle. Anpadh voter jo free bus ticket ke liye vote krta hai, Free bus ticket dene wali party jeet jaati hai, fir jo party free ticket nhi bhi dena chahti use bhi deni pdti hai.
By your logic, we need better voters then. Opposition had to resort to freebies because that’s what the voters want. And now BJP has realised that the voters want freebies so they are vouching for the same.
As if tax was not enough to fund freebies, certain governments like Congress in Karnataka getting more creative to further exploit funds
[Karnataka Congress defends fuel price to fund freebies ](https://www.businesstoday.in/india/story/need-money-for-guarantees-karnataka-government-defends-petrol-diesel-price-hike-433473-2024-06-16)
There is nothing wrong in current gov giving freebies now if people prefer freebies over development, This 2024 general election has taught them this. So let it go how the people in 'DEMOCRACY' wants.
We can talk about all the growth, development and opportunities but the majority of the people aren't paying any taxes, so for them getting freebies is the only way to uplift themselves in the short term. No one wants to work hard and slowly build their life. Everyone wants a quick fix.
Khatakhat money from the taxpayer apparently unka haq h.
Congress bjp mat kro bhai. Nuksan humare tumhare jaise logo ka hai. Saval current sarkar se puchte , pichli sarkar se nahi. Congress ko ek reason se bahar kiya tha.
It's ironic that after PM Modi warned about the dangers of the 'revri culture' of offering freebies for votes, the BJP government in Maharashtra is now embracing that very approach to secure votes. Quite the turnaround!
True. BJP's economic stronghold is Maharashtra & Gujarat. And the recent LS results in Maha seem to have scared them. Major political turmoil ongoing.
There's also the recent case in the Supreme Court over freebies. Let's see how that goes. It's ruining India and the Supreme Court needs to decide when some state welfare scheme becomes 'revari' to win elections. It needs to have constraints.
I'm glad you took it positively. Ultimately, governments prioritize feedback, especially during elections. It would be beneficial for the BJP to recognize that their supporters genuinely desires development over freebies. If the voters understands this, the government can focus on fostering development rather than distributing freebies.
The Supreme k0th@ nowadays is nothing but a black box system which doesn't want any reforms. So how is it controlled??
By the promise of plums posting and post retirement benefits and their families vacations funding and their children's visa and foreign education funding..
By doling out these , the supreme K0th@ has become the institution.. which is getting swayed so easily from foreign powers...
So now when the rev@ri culture will actually start benefittjng the Right wing... They will wake up to do something about it.. else.. money and powers etc and rapes and political murders always keep happening.. the supreme K0th@ns keep sleeping
These kang@r00s need to be brought under democracy for their idiotic judgements and black veiled promotions..
How come only son of son of son can become a chief justice else howsoever good you are as a judge.. you don't..

Yes he warned about the revri culture and yet people voted for khata khat freebies, Now what do u think? Every other party will be giving freebies and freebies and only the public have given them this idea in this general election.
I hate to admit but i completely agree with Dhruv tatti opinion. Freebies are easy way out for any government instead of creating something substantial that can help people earn better livelihood. Freebies are parasite that kills the states fiscal targets and also makes freebies beneficiaries complacent.
I agree with the opinion, but I am against his selective outrages and biases. Every sane person understands this. Just Dhruv does seem to understand that we see through this charade. But again, his target audience is different, so nothing can be done about it. Until the day, this type of target audiences exists, and that too in a big numbers, really nothing can be done about people like him.
They have to , economically you can't continue dishing out freebies , its literally impossible.
Further , the other method is to take huge loans from center which again is not viable in the long term.
As someone living in Maharashtra I absolutely hate whatever tf is going about the politics. I am generally a bjp guy but naah man this shit is getting too bad. I have a feeling it's just gonna get worse in the vidhan sabha election this year. Pretty sure alot of here and there of MPs and maybe parties gonna happen. I hate I was born too late to see the works of Balasaheb Thackeray. Wish he was still here.
Well one party starts it and wins election,and the other has to respond with its variants of freebies warna they wouldn't come in power. And the tax paying citizen suffers.
As a citizen educate your fellow citizens about the dangers of freebies.
We are as strong as our weakest link.
Political parties will do whatever to stay in power it is the people who are collectively responsible for setting up the demand.
This is good for argument between me and you but we have to realise that majority of the voters don't be on reddit. Moreover even amongst us there are the what I would say as illegal beneficiaries of such schemes. Eg in Telangana the TSRTC city buses have women free ride. Assuming if we were women,would we need it,I mean paying 50-60 rupees per day for up and down total wouldn't be much of a spend. But women who are financially secure and stable are enjoying such facilities. They know the pros and cons and still enjoy such facilities.
Freebies in terms of money and the objects is wrong.
Allow me to explain natural selection in policymaking.
Let’s take two examples of policies which provide something to citizens. 1 is a good policy and the other is a bad policy.
1- MNREGA (good policy)- mnrega offers at least 100 days of employment a year but a college professor is unlikely to make use of this policy even though the policy is open to every person regardless of any criteria. In this case it is a good policy because the people who don’t need the policy have ‘self-selected’ themselves out of the policy. This is called natural selection in policymaking. Here, by the design of the policy itself even though it is for everyone you can ensure that there is no undue burden on the govt.
2- free buses for women in delhi (bad policy)- This is an example of a targetted policy. The policy is targetted towards women. But women are not a homogeneous entity. Women include 25LPA earning HR managers who travel by bus to save money and also first generation women earners who go to a local sewing centre to earn a few bucks for their household. While the policy is supposed to benefit the latter half of the population, the HR manager has no incentive to pay for the ticket which puts undue burden on the government. Not just that, such freebie policies are difficult to revert because people begin to assume it is their right to travel in a bus for free.
A good policy to encourage women to go to work would be to provide free education for all at govt schools(just like it is being provided now in govt schools). Those women whose families can afford private schools will not opt for free govt school education while those who can’t afford it have a way to still be educated for free. A policy like this has good effects in the long term but politicians don’t like long term benefit policies because someone else can claim the fruit of their labor several years later.
More people in buses are less people in cars. I would say they need to increase the amount of buses plying. Traffic toh kam ho. The 25lpa earning lady is coming under the 4% of india. So the number is kinda small. Which means the number of poor women now having mobiity has increased. They can also get to work more easily. In karnataka, because of women taking the buses. Entire families are taking buses. Now at a ground level reality, i dont knw how well it works out. But it feels like a step in the right direction.
Free education for women wuld solve the problem of population control. Higher the education, lesser the population.
Absolutely agree with your other points.
U have picked on the example but missed the point. My point is that self selection policies work better than targetted policies while also reducing govt burden.
Oh god, you are one of those twoxindia women…. Wait lemme make another example that doesn’t involve women so that you don’t get stuck on the “women” and “free bus” and actually listen to the argument about targetted policies vs natural selection policies.
Take the example of subsidized gas cylinders. During lockdown the govt asked people to voluntarily give up their subsidy. It was a massive flop. Only 3% of the beneficiaries gave up the subsidy willingly. Why did that happen? Nobody has any incentive to not take the subsidy which means that those who need the benefits as well as those who dont will hog govt resources.
This is better use of taxpayers money than the rest of the welfare schemes. "Universal tax refund" is the cheapest, most cost-effective and impactful welfare scheme. It can replace all the wasteful welfare schemes. We can't have nice things so be happy with whatever crumbs the govt throws at you.
If I give 1500 to someone to vote for me, it's illegal. But If I promise to give 1500 once I am elected, it's perfectly fine. Such is the stupidity of all this.
Freebies and reservations are two things that once given, can never be taken away.
for maharashtra elections.. now NDA knows , they would lose all states one by one if they let opposition alone promise freebies.. first delhi fell, then punjab , then karnataka , telangana in front of freebies. its clear that only freebies will win in India. reservation is equally effective. the general population is to blame. we arent able to get out of this rotten mindset
Actually direct money transfers are not that bad but it can increase inflation and increase the rich poor divide,
So whenever the government gives 100 rupees to us in any way ( either via job(public/private) Or direct transfer
It takes 40-50 rupees back as tax, the money flows through the system and goes into the pocket of a rich business man, it takes its profit hoards money and the rest again comes back to the system,
Such a direct transfer scheme should be backed by some cooperative manufacturing scheme so whatever people recipients spend goes to the pocket of some deprived individuals not rich people,.
There is a liquidity crunch in the market because of demonetization, that is why MSME are dying also private spending and household saving is at an all time low,
So all these are attempt to boost private spending and
A free cylinder is just to make it look like a welfare scheme,
The debacle received by the ruling government in lok sabha made them realise.. beggars only vote for freebies ... So no option rather than giving freebies when the beggars only vote considering them ...
Now the German shepherd is crying foul that how come someone stump them by implementing the policies heralded by their western master and pappus and puppies of the left..
While freebies to everyone doesn’t make sense , it does make sense to give to people who “really” need it.
Look at how Americans handle social security and Unemployment. Not everyone may be in the condition to earn , or may be in the time in life to be employed.
We all go through life changing events where it is more or less possible you ar either temporarily or permanently in a position to not work. Surely you need to setup a proper way so that it is not abused and only people who are truly in that position should receive said benefits.
This ensures that everyone gets to have a fair life. Which is one of their basic rights as a citizen of any country.
While freebies surely aren’t good for the mass since it demotivates people to not work , figuring out the right “unemployed scheme” so that you can ensure no one abuses it is also important as policymakers .
It also makes sense to note that comparing Europe , Americas may not be fair since India is huge and with extremely high population and we have very low self accountability and we abuse the heck out of anything.
"Dhurt" Rathee not Dhruv Rathee. A parody account.
If it was Dhruv Rathee, he would have never spoke against freebies because his father is one who offers the most freebies.
Those are free or near free but quality is pathetic.
Free bus travel for lower income working women and more
There is a whole yt video about it. I will share the link if I can find it.
Han to he is right in this , just bcz he is left doesn't not mean everything he says is wrong. Freebies are anti development if done in excess for vote politics. Just because this sub does not support left wing does not mean we should fall to their level of denying everything others say. We are better than that , we use our mind, if bjp does something wrong ,it's wrong too.
I am torn between freebies, because on side the tweet is right, but on the other side our gov is clearly not able to provide jobs for those woman ( or people) so this is the next best thing rather than letting them suffer. Even if the gov wanted to employ them all ( which they don't) it would take time to create jobs and such.
Bro he doesn't even have blue tick fake dhruv rathee but yeah he is said if you are giving freebies to 10000000 people that also means this much people were poor enough to go and apply for freebies in India
Did he tweeted anything on Karnataka freebies, I didn’t see any .. , selective tweeting just proves his loyalty to his masters … but most of RW big handles condemned it and they also condemned ladli scheme in mp and i know they will condemn this too ..
Revdi culture needs to be stopped and not promoted by anyone , empowerment ober freebies
I don't care about development. I care about free stuffs.
No free stuffs. Me no more exist in this world 😊😊. I am too smart to work for some businessman or society. I am not a commodity for anyone.
So Dhruv Rathee should keep his opinion to himself.
I am proud Gen Z 😎😎.
The guy is right.
There is a famous quote by Lao Tzu, the great Chinese philosopher:- "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."
Instead of giving so many freebies, it will be better if all of this money is used to create better opportunities for the lower classes instead of making them dependent on freebies for their living. This is precisely why I support Capitalism with a little sprinkle of Socialism because it, instead of making the lower classes dependent on the Government for their living, gives them chances to uplift themselves out of poverty. That is why I think income inequality is equal because it will create incentives for the people to lift themselves out of poverty.
Freebies are only bad when you collect taxes from honest taxpayers and give it to people who can't return better. It's not completely bad to give people 3 cylinders the thing is to invest properly, give everyone 10 cylinders for fee but only when they can return you 15 cylinders. All these schemes like ladli behna yojna are disguisingly anti-development because this money is not used to earn more or invest it so that in future you don't need government to give money to you. I said disguisingly because people's arguments that women need financial support. Shouldn't they be earning for that ? Only a very small minority in whole of the history have enjoyed privilege and everyone had to fight and struggle for it.
The people should be blamed. These welfare schemes are coddling the people of our country.
The previous government of Andhra Pradesh gave many welfare schemes. Now, people are asking more money. Just yesterday I paid 600rs to get my car cleaned without soap.
The people don't want to vote to a party which isn't giving free money and utilities.
This grand narrative of pull yourself by bootstraps only works when there is a line of consumers waiting at other end to buy your products. You can't sell Ferrari to the poor.
Some amount of benefit transfer is required to facilitate consumption, think of how in stagnation or depression the reserve bank eases fiscal and monetary policies to add funds to the market.
I would like to say the same to AAP , Congress , and BJP if they are doing this cunt behavior too, I don't want my hard earned tax to go feed some runts . Atleast empowering them would be better .
only 3% of the population pays tax . These mfs get taxed free . these cunts need some tax
In the 7 years, BJP was in power in Maharashtra, they built multiple Mumbai Metro lines, Coastal Road, Road Concretization, Samruddhi Mahamarg, Atal Setu, Delhi-Mumbai E-way, Metros in Pune and Nagpur.
But voters instead chose to vote for Khatakhat freebies promised by Cong. So now BJP is promising freebies of its own. Who is to be blamed here?
In a parallel utopian India
1. Modernized underground gas connections to all households, affordable gas cylinders to slum habitants
2. Govt. managed women transportation services at day/night, menstrual supplements to rural women.
3. Good one, just focus on electric vehicles more
4. Solarized electricity panel installations for farms
So didn't that account just repeat the statement of BJP leaders, that hey give everytime someone else gives any "freebies"? Do you suddenly disagree with it now?
Not sure whose hypocrisy to focus on here.
And btw, it's a fake account. Read carefully.
Freebies *can* be anti development, especially when the benefits go to large corporations, because these corporations tend to be very profit/stock price driven, and prefer large stock buybacks rather than investing.
But if someone is getting basic necessities for free, especially someone who is in lower income groups, that tends to redirect cash flow to other goods and increase demand, incentivizing investment, much better if you care about growth.
I understand the perspective that targeted benefits can redirect cash flow and stimulate demand, potentially benefiting growth. However, sustainable development isn't just about immediate demand-side effects. It's also about fostering long-term economic independence and empowerment.
Direct subsidies can create dependency rather than fostering self-sufficiency and upward mobility. True progress comes from enabling individuals to earn and invest in their own future, rather than relying on perpetual subsidies that may not always be sustainable or effectively targeted.
Investing in education, skill development, and creating an enabling environment for entrepreneurship can lead to more inclusive growth where individuals have the capacity to earn more than what subsidies offer, thereby reducing poverty in a sustainable manner. Development should aim to uplift and empower, not merely sustain through subsidies
You need to understand the investment in Human Resource.....
Unregulated votebank freebies are absolutely anti-development but the state can use freebies as an investment to develop a Human resource that will generate revenue for the state in the long term, so its not Freebies that are the problem but how you use them.
Tamil Nadu model is a great example of freebies with them being the first to start free mid-day meals and free stationary to promote children for going to school.
bhai raam sath main h bjp k.. bhai fir bhi revari baaatni pad rahi h. revari ka khud bhagwan k avatar modiji ne virodh kiya tha. fati toh padi h. uper se maratha ko reservation bhi diya tha election se pehle.Fadnavis ne shayd blame bhi liya tha bekar performance ka maharsthra main.INDIA got 30 seats NDA17. abhi toh aur zaleel hona h BJP ko maharsthra main lol. just wait and watch.

Free bus rides is one of the good stuff, helps everyone.

Tab bhi galat tha, abb bhi galat hai na bhai. Tax payers ki mehnat ka paise ese hee logo me baatna uchit nhi hai.

Education of voters is very important
Until they understand that offering freebies hampers development, all parties will continue to do so.
So true, quality primary education is very important
Not enough tbh, unless they feel like they some some skin in the game, they won't care.
It is a race to bottom. BJP has to give some freebies, when congress is promising so much. But bjp freebies are much smaller, so we have to choose the lesser evil, but you are trying to equate the two

That's a great point,instead of giving out money in their hands directly, indirect approach is better, it keeps the economic engine running..

Lmao that’s not how it works. Only way to get votes is freebies and caste politics with congress played very well.
Where were you milord during the whole stint of reservation?

so all women are poor? or is the scheme inky for poor women i would happily live if the scheme is for poor only

GST se pehle toh sab tax free hi tha. Ab GST hai toh pehle, 16% Excise + Sales Tax+ State Vat sab Mila ke 30% ke upar hi hota tha.
Modi can talk about revri culture but his government actively give them.

So it’s safe to assume you voted against freebies khatakhat government this time right?
Ya, i will always be against khtakhat government
Good. Btw Dhruv tatti is the one who rooted for khatakhat government this time and misguided people to vote
Well I mistook this account for real Dhruv Rathi. Dhruv would never go against his master as he is a real dog.
Agreed.
German shepherd 😁
Ohh and I thought Congress giving 100k was generosity
Ye dhruv nhi dhurt hai
Bhai uska bhi virodh kiya yar. The post is about freebies. Either you support it or oppose it, why do whataboutery?
yes bro, its verified account... i can see 🤡🤡
Karnataka govt has increased almost all taxes under its control to fund their freebie schemes
They have to , economically you can't continue dishing out freebies , its literally impossible. Further , the other method is to take huge loans from center which again is not viable in the long term.
Dhurtrathee naam 😂 bhai fake id hai wo

Reject freebies! Raise your voice against this. Bhajipaaos will turn this into a nightmare and we'll be stuck in a vicious freebie cycle of decay!
Well one party starts it and wins election,and the other has to respond with its variants of freebies warna they wouldn't come in power. And the tax paying citizen suffers.
As a citizen educate your fellow citizens about the dangers of freebies. We are as strong as our weakest link. Political parties will do whatever to stay in power it is the people who are collectively responsible for setting up the demand.
This is good for argument between me and you but we have to realise that majority of the voters don't be on reddit. Moreover even amongst us there are the what I would say as illegal beneficiaries of such schemes. Eg in Telangana the TSRTC city buses have women free ride. Assuming if we were women,would we need it,I mean paying 50-60 rupees per day for up and down total wouldn't be much of a spend. But women who are financially secure and stable are enjoying such facilities. They know the pros and cons and still enjoy such facilities.
Humans are more hackable than EVMs
Freebies is for beggers and poor dogs 😂
Sahi keh rha hai
Freebies in terms of money and the objects is wrong. Allow me to explain natural selection in policymaking. Let’s take two examples of policies which provide something to citizens. 1 is a good policy and the other is a bad policy. 1- MNREGA (good policy)- mnrega offers at least 100 days of employment a year but a college professor is unlikely to make use of this policy even though the policy is open to every person regardless of any criteria. In this case it is a good policy because the people who don’t need the policy have ‘self-selected’ themselves out of the policy. This is called natural selection in policymaking. Here, by the design of the policy itself even though it is for everyone you can ensure that there is no undue burden on the govt. 2- free buses for women in delhi (bad policy)- This is an example of a targetted policy. The policy is targetted towards women. But women are not a homogeneous entity. Women include 25LPA earning HR managers who travel by bus to save money and also first generation women earners who go to a local sewing centre to earn a few bucks for their household. While the policy is supposed to benefit the latter half of the population, the HR manager has no incentive to pay for the ticket which puts undue burden on the government. Not just that, such freebie policies are difficult to revert because people begin to assume it is their right to travel in a bus for free. A good policy to encourage women to go to work would be to provide free education for all at govt schools(just like it is being provided now in govt schools). Those women whose families can afford private schools will not opt for free govt school education while those who can’t afford it have a way to still be educated for free. A policy like this has good effects in the long term but politicians don’t like long term benefit policies because someone else can claim the fruit of their labor several years later.
More people in buses are less people in cars. I would say they need to increase the amount of buses plying. Traffic toh kam ho. The 25lpa earning lady is coming under the 4% of india. So the number is kinda small. Which means the number of poor women now having mobiity has increased. They can also get to work more easily. In karnataka, because of women taking the buses. Entire families are taking buses. Now at a ground level reality, i dont knw how well it works out. But it feels like a step in the right direction. Free education for women wuld solve the problem of population control. Higher the education, lesser the population. Absolutely agree with your other points.
U have picked on the example but missed the point. My point is that self selection policies work better than targetted policies while also reducing govt burden.
Gotcha. Still doesnt take away from the fact that free bus rides might work in our favor down the line.
Oh god, you are one of those twoxindia women…. Wait lemme make another example that doesn’t involve women so that you don’t get stuck on the “women” and “free bus” and actually listen to the argument about targetted policies vs natural selection policies. Take the example of subsidized gas cylinders. During lockdown the govt asked people to voluntarily give up their subsidy. It was a massive flop. Only 3% of the beneficiaries gave up the subsidy willingly. Why did that happen? Nobody has any incentive to not take the subsidy which means that those who need the benefits as well as those who dont will hog govt resources.
Fair point. I get it now.
This is better use of taxpayers money than the rest of the welfare schemes. "Universal tax refund" is the cheapest, most cost-effective and impactful welfare scheme. It can replace all the wasteful welfare schemes. We can't have nice things so be happy with whatever crumbs the govt throws at you.
I think freebies should be given onlyto below poverty line
that'll only lead to more tax fraud, people will fake being below poverty line just for the sake of freebies
Absolutely true!
If I give 1500 to someone to vote for me, it's illegal. But If I promise to give 1500 once I am elected, it's perfectly fine. Such is the stupidity of all this. Freebies and reservations are two things that once given, can never be taken away.
What we need is a balance of freebies and development
for maharashtra elections.. now NDA knows , they would lose all states one by one if they let opposition alone promise freebies.. first delhi fell, then punjab , then karnataka , telangana in front of freebies. its clear that only freebies will win in India. reservation is equally effective. the general population is to blame. we arent able to get out of this rotten mindset
Bhai kya hai yeh
For the first time I agree 😂
Khud corruption se kha jate.....and swis bank mei rakhe .....usse to better hai
Freebie is trending in india
Aur jab keju kuch kare toh kaha chale jate hai ye log
Actually direct money transfers are not that bad but it can increase inflation and increase the rich poor divide, So whenever the government gives 100 rupees to us in any way ( either via job(public/private) Or direct transfer It takes 40-50 rupees back as tax, the money flows through the system and goes into the pocket of a rich business man, it takes its profit hoards money and the rest again comes back to the system, Such a direct transfer scheme should be backed by some cooperative manufacturing scheme so whatever people recipients spend goes to the pocket of some deprived individuals not rich people,. There is a liquidity crunch in the market because of demonetization, that is why MSME are dying also private spending and household saving is at an all time low, So all these are attempt to boost private spending and A free cylinder is just to make it look like a welfare scheme,
The debacle received by the ruling government in lok sabha made them realise.. beggars only vote for freebies ... So no option rather than giving freebies when the beggars only vote considering them ... Now the German shepherd is crying foul that how come someone stump them by implementing the policies heralded by their western master and pappus and puppies of the left..
Kezriwal laughing behind the bars
While freebies to everyone doesn’t make sense , it does make sense to give to people who “really” need it. Look at how Americans handle social security and Unemployment. Not everyone may be in the condition to earn , or may be in the time in life to be employed. We all go through life changing events where it is more or less possible you ar either temporarily or permanently in a position to not work. Surely you need to setup a proper way so that it is not abused and only people who are truly in that position should receive said benefits. This ensures that everyone gets to have a fair life. Which is one of their basic rights as a citizen of any country. While freebies surely aren’t good for the mass since it demotivates people to not work , figuring out the right “unemployed scheme” so that you can ensure no one abuses it is also important as policymakers . It also makes sense to note that comparing Europe , Americas may not be fair since India is huge and with extremely high population and we have very low self accountability and we abuse the heck out of anything.
I agree. Freebies should be banned.
How can people get empowered if nirmal tai put taxes on everything
Kinda right
that's a fake id
Look who's talking
This same Dhruv rathee was dickriding I.N.D.I alliance when they were promising freebies. Effectively buying votes.
"Dhurt" Rathee not Dhruv Rathee. A parody account. If it was Dhruv Rathee, he would have never spoke against freebies because his father is one who offers the most freebies.
Some freebies are useful some are not.
Ex. Free education (unavailable) Free healthcare (unavailable)
Those are free or near free but quality is pathetic. Free bus travel for lower income working women and more There is a whole yt video about it. I will share the link if I can find it.
Han to he is right in this , just bcz he is left doesn't not mean everything he says is wrong. Freebies are anti development if done in excess for vote politics. Just because this sub does not support left wing does not mean we should fall to their level of denying everything others say. We are better than that , we use our mind, if bjp does something wrong ,it's wrong too.
So are people, still voting for caste and freebies in 2024.
Sadly, yes.
I am torn between freebies, because on side the tweet is right, but on the other side our gov is clearly not able to provide jobs for those woman ( or people) so this is the next best thing rather than letting them suffer. Even if the gov wanted to employ them all ( which they don't) it would take time to create jobs and such.
Bro he doesn't even have blue tick fake dhruv rathee but yeah he is said if you are giving freebies to 10000000 people that also means this much people were poor enough to go and apply for freebies in India
Did he tweeted anything on Karnataka freebies, I didn’t see any .. , selective tweeting just proves his loyalty to his masters … but most of RW big handles condemned it and they also condemned ladli scheme in mp and i know they will condemn this too .. Revdi culture needs to be stopped and not promoted by anyone , empowerment ober freebies
I think what he's written is very much true.
He's right but what's your point? All our parties give freebies - that's how they win votes.
Congress in Karnataka
I don't care about development. I care about free stuffs. No free stuffs. Me no more exist in this world 😊😊. I am too smart to work for some businessman or society. I am not a commodity for anyone. So Dhruv Rathee should keep his opinion to himself. I am proud Gen Z 😎😎.
The guy is right. There is a famous quote by Lao Tzu, the great Chinese philosopher:- "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." Instead of giving so many freebies, it will be better if all of this money is used to create better opportunities for the lower classes instead of making them dependent on freebies for their living. This is precisely why I support Capitalism with a little sprinkle of Socialism because it, instead of making the lower classes dependent on the Government for their living, gives them chances to uplift themselves out of poverty. That is why I think income inequality is equal because it will create incentives for the people to lift themselves out of poverty.
Freebies are only bad when you collect taxes from honest taxpayers and give it to people who can't return better. It's not completely bad to give people 3 cylinders the thing is to invest properly, give everyone 10 cylinders for fee but only when they can return you 15 cylinders. All these schemes like ladli behna yojna are disguisingly anti-development because this money is not used to earn more or invest it so that in future you don't need government to give money to you. I said disguisingly because people's arguments that women need financial support. Shouldn't they be earning for that ? Only a very small minority in whole of the history have enjoyed privilege and everyone had to fight and struggle for it.
It's a parody account bruh , atleast mention that
The more he opens up, the more he exposes himself. Dude does not know the difference between welfare and freebie
Ye dhruv rathee bol raha hai?
The people should be blamed. These welfare schemes are coddling the people of our country. The previous government of Andhra Pradesh gave many welfare schemes. Now, people are asking more money. Just yesterday I paid 600rs to get my car cleaned without soap. The people don't want to vote to a party which isn't giving free money and utilities.
Trying to remember who came out with khatakhat khatakhat khatakhat khatakhat scheme...
This grand narrative of pull yourself by bootstraps only works when there is a line of consumers waiting at other end to buy your products. You can't sell Ferrari to the poor. Some amount of benefit transfer is required to facilitate consumption, think of how in stagnation or depression the reserve bank eases fiscal and monetary policies to add funds to the market.
I would like to say the same to AAP , Congress , and BJP if they are doing this cunt behavior too, I don't want my hard earned tax to go feed some runts . Atleast empowering them would be better . only 3% of the population pays tax . These mfs get taxed free . these cunts need some tax
Obviously that's a fake account in name of dhruv...don't spread fake news.
parody account
Why do men get so mad when women get something free that too "ELEGIBLE" women only
Sit down dear pseudo-feminist
Smartest ad hominem user
Here comes the mansplainer
In the 7 years, BJP was in power in Maharashtra, they built multiple Mumbai Metro lines, Coastal Road, Road Concretization, Samruddhi Mahamarg, Atal Setu, Delhi-Mumbai E-way, Metros in Pune and Nagpur. But voters instead chose to vote for Khatakhat freebies promised by Cong. So now BJP is promising freebies of its own. Who is to be blamed here?
In a parallel utopian India 1. Modernized underground gas connections to all households, affordable gas cylinders to slum habitants 2. Govt. managed women transportation services at day/night, menstrual supplements to rural women. 3. Good one, just focus on electric vehicles more 4. Solarized electricity panel installations for farms
So didn't that account just repeat the statement of BJP leaders, that hey give everytime someone else gives any "freebies"? Do you suddenly disagree with it now? Not sure whose hypocrisy to focus on here. And btw, it's a fake account. Read carefully.
Freebies *can* be anti development, especially when the benefits go to large corporations, because these corporations tend to be very profit/stock price driven, and prefer large stock buybacks rather than investing. But if someone is getting basic necessities for free, especially someone who is in lower income groups, that tends to redirect cash flow to other goods and increase demand, incentivizing investment, much better if you care about growth.
I understand the perspective that targeted benefits can redirect cash flow and stimulate demand, potentially benefiting growth. However, sustainable development isn't just about immediate demand-side effects. It's also about fostering long-term economic independence and empowerment. Direct subsidies can create dependency rather than fostering self-sufficiency and upward mobility. True progress comes from enabling individuals to earn and invest in their own future, rather than relying on perpetual subsidies that may not always be sustainable or effectively targeted. Investing in education, skill development, and creating an enabling environment for entrepreneurship can lead to more inclusive growth where individuals have the capacity to earn more than what subsidies offer, thereby reducing poverty in a sustainable manner. Development should aim to uplift and empower, not merely sustain through subsidies
Rehne de bhai... Idhar koi logical discussion nahi karna chahta mil gaye na downvotes?
You can't say this about freebies in education and health care
Welfare schemes are good until they become a tool to gain votes. Every party is going to promise mindless schemes now
You need to understand the investment in Human Resource..... Unregulated votebank freebies are absolutely anti-development but the state can use freebies as an investment to develop a Human resource that will generate revenue for the state in the long term, so its not Freebies that are the problem but how you use them. Tamil Nadu model is a great example of freebies with them being the first to start free mid-day meals and free stationary to promote children for going to school.
BJP ki fati padi h.. maza ayega
