Populism and political parties often function as synonyms. Parties tend to encash whatever is popular. They have often resorted to populist measures, from providing free electricity, bicycles, laptops, and bus rides to directly transferring cash to the accounts of certain sections while seeking votes for parliamentary or Assembly elections. And these have often worked to the advantage of one or the other party. Naturally, such promises tend to find space in election manifestos.
