‘मुफ़्त खाना मिलेगा तो लोग काम नहीं करेंगे’ सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने मुफ़्त योजनाओं पर लताड़ा, पूरी ख़बर

In this report, Saurabh Shukla from The Red Mike dives into the Supreme Court’s recent, scathing observations on India’s growing "freebie" culture. The top court has raised a red flag, questioning whether these populist schemes are doing more harm than good by eroding the dignity of labour. Immediate Context: • The Core Issue: The Supreme Court warns that providing everything from food to electricity for free might kill the incentive to work, effectively creating a "colony of parasites." • The Fiscal Strain: Most Indian states are drowning in debt, yet they prioritize cash transfers over long-term development or job creation. • Political Timing: These schemes, like Ladli Behna or Maiya Yojana, often appear right before elections, essentially "buying" votes using the state exchequer. • The Human Cost: While the poor get immediate relief, the youth lose out on actual employment opportunities as budgets are drained by subsidies. [00:00:00 - 00:03:20] The Ground Reality of Free Rations and Cash Transfers Saurabh opens by discussing the sheer scale of welfare in India—80 crore people receive free rations every month. He points out a practical irony: during harvest seasons, farmers in UP and Bihar struggle to find laborers. Why? Because people have enough free food to survive without working. He highlights how "Direct Cash Transfers" have become the ultimate election-winning formula. Saurabh Shukla: "जब कटाई का वक्त आता है तो उत्तर प्रदेश, बिहार, पंजाब... मजदूर नहीं मिलते क्योंकि मुफ्त राशन मिलता है। एक बार जो राशन मिलता है उसे खा लिया जाता है और दूसरी बार जो मिलता है उसको बेच दिया जाता है।" [01:01] [00:03:21 - 00:06:10] Supreme Court’s Stern Warning The Supreme Court, while hearing a petition regarding Tamil Nadu’s power distribution, made it clear that while helping the needy is understandable, giving "freebies" to everyone regardless of their financial status is dangerous. Saurabh Shukla (quoting the SC): "मुफ्त बिजली-पानी देने से काम करने की आदत खत्म हो जाएगी। अगर सरकार सुबह से शाम तक फ्री खाना, फ्री गैस और फ्री बिजली देती रहेगी तो लोग काम क्यों करेंगे?" [03:25] The court emphasized that the government should focus on creating paths for employment so people can earn with self-respect, rather than making them dependent on the state. [00:06:11 - 00:08:40] The Economic Debt Trap Saurabh presents startling data on how these subsidies are crippling state economies. In states like Punjab and Tamil Nadu, a massive chunk of the subsidy budget (up to 70-90%) goes solely toward free electricity. As of March 2026, the total debt-to-GDP ratio of states is expected to hit 29.2%. The court questioned the timing of these announcements, calling out the culture of "appeasement" where schemes are launched just months before the first vote is cast. Saurabh Shukla: "12 फरवरी 2025 को कोर्ट ने कहा था कि चुनाव के वक्त फ्रीबीस का ऐलान गलत है। ऐसा कर कर आप परिजीवियों (Parasites) की जमात खड़ी कर रहे हैं।" [08:08] [00:08:41 - 00:12:32] Political Blame Game and Future Outlook While the public often appreciates the immediate cash—as seen in Bihar where women openly admitted they would vote for whoever gave them ₹10,000—the long-term cost is the lack of jobs and paper leaks in exams. Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate is featured, arguing that this is a "BJP pattern" to destroy the level playing field. Supriya Shrinate: "बीजेपी पैसा डालकर वोट खरीदती है। जब सरकार बन जाती है तो उस स्कीम पर ताला लगाकर रख दिया जाता है। कहां है महाराष्ट्र की लाडकी बहना योजना? आज 20 लाख महिलाओं के नाम काट दिए गए।" [12:10] Conclusion While welfare is essential for the bottom tier of society, universal freebies are draining the resources meant for infrastructure and education. The Supreme Court's remarks are a wake-up call, but until there is a legal ban on pre-election doles, the cycle of "vote-for-cash" is likely to continue, with UP 2027 being the next big testing ground. --- #supremecourt #freebies #economy #politics #indianjudiciary #freewelfare Join this channel to get access to perks:    / @theredmike.   The Red Mike is a new movement in centrist Journalism.
