In recent years, cash giveaways, free power, loan waivers, and other goodies have become common features ahead of Indian elections Women wait to get their voting slip from an officer at a polling booth station during the state assembly election in New Delhi. File image/ Reuters Having unexpectedly won two Indian state votes late last year, in big part due to a slew of handouts, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s party is deploying the same playbook in a bid to wrest back Delhi for the first time in nearly three decades next month. The BJP’s promises announced last week and this week include monthly payments of 2,500 rupees to all poor women, 21,000 rupees once to each pregnant woman, subsidised cooking gas, a monthly pension of 2,500 rupees for the elderly, 15,000 rupees for the young to prepare for competitive exams, and a monthly stipend of 1,000 rupees to students from underprivileged castes studying technical and vocational courses. India’s main opposition party, Congress, meanwhile said it was the better alternative because, beyond handouts like 2,500 rupees for women a month, it was also focusing on issues like Delhi’s abysmal air and water.
