Freebies before polls: SC asks MP, Raj to respond

The Supreme Court on Friday sought response from the Centre, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan governments and the Election Commission of India on a public interest plea, seeking declaration that the promise of irrational freebies at the taxpayers’ expenses to lure the voters in the run up to the State assembly elections is analogous to the bribery and undue influence.

Issuing notice returnable in four weeks, Chief Justice DY Chandrachud heading a bench also comprising Justice JB Pardiwala and Justice Manoj Misra tagged the PIL by one Bhattulal Jain with an already pending matter seeking to curb the announcement of pre-poll freebies by the political parties.
