How MVA compelled Mahayuti to scale up revdi promises in Maharashtra

India Today  

As Maharashtra inches towards a crucial Vidhan Sabha election, the poll campaign has been transformed into a battlefield of 'revdi', or freebies, as parties compete to out-promise each other in a bid to woo voters. Whether it's the Bharatiya Janta Party-led ruling Mahayuti aiming to retain power or the Congress-led Maha Vikas Aghadi trying to dislodge it, every party has made generosity their USP. MVA AND MAHAYUTI BATTLE OF FREEBIES IN MAHARASHTRA The MVA, consisting of the Shiv Sena, NCP, and Congress, has unveiled a wide range of promises under 'Loksevechi Panchasutri'. It's for Maharashtra's voters to choose from the freebies of the Eknath Shinde-led Mahayuti and the ones of the Maha Vikas Aghadi, that former CM Uddhav Thackery called, 'guarantees'. The MVA has framed its promises as "guarantees" rather than mere "freebies," a subtle shift in language aimed at positioning these benefits as long-term commitments to the welfare of the public, rather than opportunistic giveaways.
