‘Revdi’ culture is for political gains: BJP after Kejriwal counters PM Modi’s freebies jab

The BJP on August 11 claimed that while the Central government’s welfare policies empower different deprived sections of society with targeted schemes, some parties’ engage in revdi culture by dishing out freebies for everyone for political gains.

“Revdi culture is about dishing out lollipops for political gains and it makes no transformation to people’s lives. It misuses taxpayers’ money with the rich benefiting at the cost of the poor,” BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla said as he targeted Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for his counter-offensive after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s denunciation of freebies.

PM Modi named no one in his speeches but the AAP leader sprang to defend it due to his sense of guilt, Mr. Poonawalla told a press conference.
