Taxpayers resent money wasted on freebies: PM

Have got string of letters from people against freebies: PM

New Delhi: PM Modi said Saturday that taxpayers resent their hard-earned money being splurged away on freebies, but are satisfied when the money is spent on welfare schemes for uplifting the poor.

“When the taxpayer feels that his money is being spent in the right place, he or she also feels happy and keeps paying more tax. Today, crores of taxpayers in the country are satisfied with the great service they are doing by helping to feed crores of people during the Corona period... When this same taxpayer sees that free ‘revdi’ is being distributed with the money collected from them, he feels pained the most,” Modi said while distributing titles of 4.5 lakh houses built under PM Awas Yojana for the poor.
