Freebies, Subsidies and Social Welfare

Recently, a debate has been going on as whether Freebies or Subsidies are good for the economy. It all began with a speech of Mr. Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India. On July 16, 2022, Prime Minister Modi was inaugurating the Bundlekhand Expressway and said “Those with revdi culture will never build new expressways, new airports or defense corridor for you”. He further said “Together we must defeat this mentality and remove revdi culture from the politics of the country”.
