The funds spent on free schemes could be directed toward initiatives that drive city progress and improve infrastructure, education, and healthcare. I expect political parties to focus on meaningful advancements for the welfare of all citizens. Whichever party commits to these priorities and addresses the real needs of our society will give my first vote.” — Kripa Surana
