Karwar: Freebies are dangerous, says senior Congress MLA RV Deshpande
Karwar: State Administrative Reforms Commission Chairman and senior Congress legislator RV Deshpande has called freebies dangerous, saying getting anything for free is a danger to entire society.
Deshpande, who is MLA from Haliyala, was speaking at the inauguration of the office of the Assistant RTO at Ambewadi in Dandeli taluk. He stressed that nothing should not be made available free of cost and added that every service should come with a price.
Citing the Shakti scheme, Deshpande said, “We received a request to extend the facilities under the scheme to men too. If all services are provided for free, how do we sustain the system? It is important to give thought to the matter.”
