elections are becoming war of freebies, BJP was winning most of the states from 2014 onwards, opposition had no answer to modi’s administration.
then later opposition learnt the best way or only way to defeat BJP was announcing liberal freebies. state after state started using freeebies to win elections, first N DELHI,THEN,telangana, andhra, orissa, west bengal, rajasthan, madhya pradesh,chatisgarh and himachal pradesh. BJP Lost all elections to freebies, now karnataka too BJP lost due to liberal congress freebies.
hopw BJP too understands the importance of freebies or its inevitability to win elections. If bjp doesnt give freebies it will be out of INDIAs map.
