With elections barely weeks away, the political class seem to have their priorities sorted out: Its politics over economics and voter over the exchequer. The Centre and states have been doling out sops — from farm loan waivers and income support for agriculturalists to unemployment doles and even gold.
In the BJP-ruled Assam, finance minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Wednesday raised the bar by offering one tola gold, estimated to cost Rs 38,000, for brides from families with annual income of less than Rs 5 lakh. He also promised ‘e-bikes’ for all girls who secure first division in higher secondary examination and a one-time subsidy of Rs 50,000 on all education loans sanctioned during the current financial year.
