Government Wasting Taxpayers Money
Look at these flats—brand new with amenities like electricity, water, cooking gas, elevators, a children's park, and a health center—all located in Delhi and gifted by GoI to slum dwellers.
Built by the DDA, each flat costs ₹25 lakh to construct, market value must be ₹50-75 lakh, but slum dwellers are getting them for just ₹1.42 lakh!
Who’s covering the remaining cost? Taxpayers. The same taxpayers who, despite working their entire lives, can’t afford a decent home without taking hefty loans. The beauty of our socialist democracy! And btw, what are the chances some of them will rent these flats and return to slum life? Not unheard of. more

That means the government should not undertake any developmental works for social upliftment! Whatever work is undertaken, the money therefor will ultimately come from the pockets of the tax payers. In a country like ours, where 80% or more people live below poverty line and spend their entire life span in slums do deserve such welfare schemes and upliftment more and more. However, the government must guard against any sort of corruption at any level in the allotment, which should be purely on merit basis and ensure that the houses so allotted are invariably inhabited by the beneficiaries and their families only. more

Delhi government gave free bus travel for women, not "free buses"! Free bus travel helps environment, not free houses. Central giving free houses! Free buses costs covered buses running and earning, helps economies of scope - Empty buses filling up, vehicle road congestion reduced. https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/the-impact-of-public-transport-on-traffic-congestion-in-cities more
