Freebie schemes are starting too in Bengal, the previous ones that were in place, they are being replaced by the upcoming scheme.
The free bus thing for women is not something I like because similar thing in Telangana has lead to the Congress having to face problems with TGSRTC and the buses becoming ladies special for all.
Even then if all these schemes and statements come into action it will be good - how much comes to fruition is worth seeing.
Freebie culture was started by AAP in Delhi, which helped them to win the election. BJP at that time opposed those freebies, but now is busy distributing them. All parties are the same, and I am sure more of such freebies will be declared next year when UP goes to the election.
