Parties’ freebies and doles blow hole in state coffers, economists say

During the election season, political forces make announcements of free goods and services which could do more harm than good and destroy the system.

Free wifi, free water, free electricity, increment in elderly allowances, health allowances and what not. Election season is here, and it’s the time parties promise the moon and offer freebies galore. What the parties, however, do not seem to be taking into account is at whose expense such giveaways come.
