The reason being, assembly elections in 8 states, which are, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Goa, Manipur, Himachal Pradesh, Gujrat and Jammu & Kashmir.  The various political parties, to lure the voters are once again shooting unrealistic promises on en-masse, the shower of freebies promised by the parties certainly seems to be unrealistic, But this time, the Supreme Court is in a mood to take strict action against it. The Supreme Court on Tuesday called for a response from the federal government and the Election Commission of India (ECI) on the ongoing "tamasha" of a political party that promises or distributes "irrational gifts" using public funds. Chief Justice of India N.V. Ramana, judge A.S. Bopanna and Heema Kohli informed the Cente
