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.
The freebie culture started in Tamil Nadu, distribution of television, mixers, bicycles, laptops for students and even gold for brides was common. There was a time when people would sell these freebies to neighboring states after the elections, creating a thriving parallel market.

The free bus thing for women, I'm not sure, because the motive behind it seems good but again, nothing is really free and just paid by someone else. To be honest, I am not mad about BJP winning the WB because there were issues in WB and let's see if BJP can solve some of it. As always the case lol, the sufferings won't end but the nature of the problems will change

West Bengal is a unique case altogether, from an economic power house before independence, but once the Left started gaining power in the late 1960s, major companies started moving out completely. The state was ruled by the Communist Party for 34 years with an iron fist. When the TMC came to power, majority of the goons shifted their allegiance to the TMC and continued the same practices. Whether they will now shift their loyalty to the BJP remains to be seen. Ultimately, the success for the BJP depends on how the party can invite back major companies and handle these major issues.
While women are fighting for equality, political parties are giving them special priorities, which is a shame.

If they give this priority for the elderly, I totally respect that, but not to everyone.
