An excessive proliferation of freebies undermines the integrity of the economy, as both political factions engage in a competitive quest to appease the rural populace, thereby perpetuating a detrimental cycle of dependency and fiscal irresponsibility.

freebies can create a dependency syndrome.
Dependency syndrome refers to a situation where individuals or groups become reliant on external support, such as free goods, services, or financial aid. This reliance can lead to a diminished motivation to seek employment or contribute productively to society.

By fostering self-sufficiency, promoting community engagement, and implementing thoughtful strategies, society can help individuals maintain motivation and contribute positively while still receiving necessary support during challenging times.
Balancing assistance with empowerment is key to breaking the cycle of dependency and encouraging a more productive society.

The Court further explained that if such a challenge is raised at an appellate stage it would be for the person raising the challenge to justify the reasons for bringing the same at a belated stage. Such reasons would have to be considered independently so as to ensure that there is no misuse of the right of challenge with the aim to stall or delay proceedings.
