Gujarat Result: Amit Shah says 'revdi' rejected. Watch what Congress, AAP, BJP had promised as freebies

With BJP securing a comprehensive victory in Gujarat, Union Home Minister took a jibe at Opposition parties Congress and Aam Aadmi Party.

Amit Shah tweeted that Gujarat had rejected those who do politics of 'revdi', empty promises, and appeasement. BJP uses the term 'revdi' to refer to freebies promised in elections, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called it a dangerous practice.

Among Congress' freebie promises were 300 units of electricity, farm loan waivers, Android phones for needy students, and free education for girls.

The Aam Aadmi Party had promised 300 units of free electricity, ₹1,000 every month to adult women, ₹3,000 per month as unemployment allowance, and farm loan waivers.

However, the BJP itself promised many freebies in its manifesto, including 2 LPG cylinders for women every year, electric scooters for meritorious women students, and free education for girls.
