With Elections round the corner – Food items are still likely to continue as Freebies to Voters.

In recent times, there has been a growing concern about the distribution of free food to the poor in India. With elections around the corner in many states of India, political parties are promising freebies to voters, ranging from laptops to bicycles to cash handouts. However, there is one form of freebie that is likely to continue, and that is the distribution of free food in named canteens and monthly supplies to poor gullible voters.

In the midst of all this, one important fact often gets overlooked – the fact that food stamp recipients did not cause the financial crisis; recklessness on Wall Street did. It is essential to keep this in mind when we talk about the distribution of free food to the poor.

The financial crisis of 2008 was caused by the reckless behavior of banks and financial institutions on Wall Street. These institutions engaged in risky lending practices, packaged bad loans into securities, and sold them to investors around the world. When the bubble burst, it triggered a global financial meltdown that led to massive job losses, foreclosures, and bankruptcies.

Food stamp recipients, on the other hand, are some of the most vulnerable members of our society. They are people who are struggling to put food on the table for themselves and their families. Many of them are seniors, children, or people with disabilities. They depend on food stamps to survive.

The distribution of free food in named canteens and monthly supplies to poor gullible voters is not a new phenomenon in India. In many parts of the country, the government has set up canteens that serve meals at subsidized rates to the poor. These canteens are a lifeline for many people who would otherwise go hungry. Similarly, the distribution of monthly supplies to the poor is a way to ensure that they have access to basic necessities like rice, wheat, and cooking oil.

However, there are some who criticize these programs, arguing that they encourage dependence and discourage work. They argue that instead of giving people free food, the government should focus on creating jobs and promoting economic growth. While these arguments have some merit, it is essential to remember that the people who benefit from these programs are some of the most vulnerable members of our society.

Moreover, the distribution of free food is not a new idea. In many countries, including the United States, food stamp programs have been in existence for decades. These programs have helped millions of people put food on the table and survive during difficult times.

It is essential to remember that food stamp recipients did not cause the financial crisis. Recklessness on Wall Street did. The distribution of free food to the poor is a way to ensure that they have access to basic necessities and can survive during difficult times. While there are valid criticisms of these programs, it is essential to approach them with empathy and compassion.

In conclusion, the distribution of free food in named canteens and monthly supplies to poor gullible voters is likely to continue in India, even as political parties promise other freebies to voters. While there are valid criticisms of these programs, it is important to remember that they serve a vital function in providing food and basic necessities to some of the most vulnerable members of our society. As we move forward, we must keep in mind the fact that food stamp recipients did not cause the financial crisis; recklessness on Wall Street did.
