Your Opinion

This past week one of the hot topics has been giving away freebies, more importantly subsidizing rice. Various parties have come up with their own announcements. The DMK started out with the promise of 1 kg rice at Rs. 2 in their election manifesto. To match this, Jayalalitha yesterday promised 10 kg of free rice every month in addition to the normal 10 kg of rice at Rs. 3.50 per kg. Not to be left behind, the newly formed DMDK has promised 15 kg of free rice in its manifesto. None of them have detailed any plan as to how they plan to implement their promises and where the money will come from. Such being the case, I would like to know from you whether these promises will have an impact on these elections and if you think such schemes will be feasible and beneficial to our state?
