DMK Goes To Supreme Court, Challenges Definition Of Freebies | Read

Tamil Nadu's ruling DMK has filed a petition in the Supreme Court in the ongoing case about "freebies", contending that the scope of the term is very wide and "there are a lot of aspects which need to be considered". The court is hearing a petition that has challenged the promise of freebies at election time, contending that this practice can bring financial ruin on a state. So far, Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party, known for providing free power and water in the states it rules, has challenged the stance of the petition, which was filed by the BJP's Ashwini Upadhyay.
