    Welfare should be given in education, health, food security which all Indian tax payers dont mind. But when the tax payer money is used to give free bus to women, free electricity, monthly money for all who will stop going to work and become lazy. That is what the opposition is doing which will lead to bankruptcy.

      Everything right but bus travel for women should be free as there are a lot of poor women who travel through bus to make days meet by going to jobs

      Dictators start by paying for votes. That is what capitalism is all about. By the way power is wielded it is not much different than exploitation or slavery.

    Maharashtra government ruined buses by slashing the price of ticket by half. Not only itled to overcrowded bus but it also ruined the business of ten of thousands of autowala, taxi wala. I can't imagine what free bus and electricity will do.
    If you really want to do welfare improve the government schools an hospitals.

    There is no cost to the government. No other country creates India's currency and Indian taxpayers are not allowed to print money at home. So the only source of money is the government and it can create as much money as it needs. The only thing you need to make sure is you address the productivity before you spend.

    The price of the commodity required for daily life increases exponentially. How the People LIVE? Uncontrolled by the government.
    Hence ELECTED GVT. must provide, ELECTRICITY, WATER AND LOCAL TRANSPORT, EDUCATION LOANS must hassle-free.

    Modi's New India: While a small elite enjoys unimaginable wealth and privilege, the vast majority of Indians struggle to make ends meet. Caste, class, and gender discrimination further exacerbate social tensions, perpetuating injustice and inequality.

      Correct, Modi has arrested everyone willing to criticize him. No one left dares too. India has turned into a Stalin controlled media state.

      WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY REDISTRIBUTION of Wealth?
      Is it like MODI said; taking your Money and GIVING it to SOMEONE ELSE? 😂 NOT taking away but ensuring to provide you with the required opportunity so that you too will have equal ground to grow like any other Indians.
      They are not going to take away the wealth of AMBANI or any, others to distribute. It required lots of policy-making.
