Freebies are raining in Rajasthan, the idea is to win the elections and defeat the future of the people living there. 

This is the Congress's first big-ticket announcement since December when Ashok Gehlot had promised huge subsidies on cooking gas. The prices were slashed by more than half to provide 12 cylinders a year at ? 500 each.

The Congress has tweaked its free electricity promise -- which was hugely successful in Karnataka -- for Rajasthan, which will have its assembly election by the end of this year. Free electricity up to 100 units and a fixed rate for the next 100 was Ashok Gehlot government's announcement this evening, which, the Chief Minister said, is based on public feedback. The major late evening announcement came on a day Prime Minister Narendra Modi practically launched the party's campaign from Ajmer with a sharp attack on the state Congress, accusing it of corruption and factionalism. 

Meanwhile, an AICC spokesperson in Delhi criticized the Modi government for doing the same in the last nine years rather than giving good governance.
