The article discusses the ongoing debate over the definition and implications of "freebies" in Indian politics, as highlighted by Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar. Kumar emphasized the need for a clear legal definition of what constitutes a freebie, pointing out the challenges in distinguishing between welfare measures and populist giveaways. He noted that while some freebies might be necessary for public welfare, others could lead to financial strain on state resources. Kumar suggested that it is high time to find legal answers to regulate these practices, especially as they influence voter behavior and fiscal responsibility. He also mentioned the Election Commission's role in ensuring transparency in political funding, which indirectly relates to the issue of freebies. The article underscores the complexity of the issue, with political parties often using freebies to garner votes, thereby necessitating a balanced approach to manage both voter expectations and economic health.
