Naidu said another unhealthy trend is that people are making promises left and right, without considering where the money will come from.
Former Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu on Tuesday, 23 April, said the “frequent” party-hopping by political leaders was a “disturbing trend” and called for strengthening the anti-defection law. Speaking at a function at his residence in New Delhi after receiving the Padma award, Naidu said announcing “freebies” during elections without listing funds mobilisation is an unhealthy trend.
