Make the Democratic values ideal and memorable. Remove all Freebies.

 Kill the Culture of Freebies , enhance the dignity and quality of Life . Make the democratic Values ideal and memorable. 

Apropos your your editorial How to get broke by freebie-ing Away (March 12), It is time to seriously introspect and consider taking some concrete and sensible steps by all  matured political parties , the bureaucrats, the judiciary and the sensitive organisations like RBI, banks and supply chains involved directly or indirectly in the distribution of freebies at the cost of fiscal discipline and electoral values.  Having adopted democratic values and principles, is it not time  to arrest once for all the freebies culture and save the democracy and the economy from catastrophe. No doubt, this freebie culture not only kills the initiative and work culture but also kills the economy, the enthusiasm of the people and spreads wrong tendencies and attitudes taking away the very charm of hard work, enjoying the rewards for hard work, nurturing all unhealthy and corrupt practices in the very democratisation of election and election processes, thereby distancing many  who are earnest , honest  and committed to be behind the democratic way of taking the nation fast forward, thereby increasing the percentage of absentee voters and voting for none among the contestants.  To make the nation democratically, politically strong, the economy fast growing with all its tremendous potential, socially vibrant and enlightened, technologically a leader of the world, the electoral reforms and election processes need a thorough change without any scope and hope for freebies and their bad effects .
