NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court has asked the governments of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh to respond to a PIL (Public Interest Litigation) regarding the alleged distribution of cash and other freebies ahead of the upcoming state elections. The PIL also names the Election Commission (EC) and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) as respondents. The top court has given the Centre, states, and the EC four weeks to file their responses.

The PIL claims that taxpayers’ money is being used to bribe voters before the assembly polls. The lawyer representing the petitioner described the act as “atrocious” and stated that the burden ultimately falls on the taxpayers.

This development comes as the country gears up for several state elections scheduled later this year. The alleged distribution of cash and freebies by political parties is a common practice during election campaigns. However, it raises concerns about the misuse of public funds and the impact on the integrity of the electoral process.

The Supreme Court’s intervention highlights the importance of fair and transparent elections. It is crucial to ensure that the electoral process is free from any form of corruption or misuse of public resources. The PIL serves as a reminder for political parties and authorities to uphold the principles of democracy and maintain the sanctity of elections.
