Here’s a look back at the week through the eyes of the Twitterati.
Mixed reactions pour in post Delhi govt's announcement of free metro rides to women.
Are you with @ArvindKejriwal for his new initiative of free rides for women in Delhi. Me & my knowns are in. #ArvindKejriwal #DelhiMetro #Delhi #FreeMetroForWomen #AAPFreeTicket #NewIndia #Rohit #IndiavsSouthAfrica #india #Indian #delhiwithkejriwal #DelhiMetroFreeRide #delhigovt

On AAP's excellent move to make Delhi metro free for women the most amusing criticism is that it is "a political move". You can't invent democracy and then accuse politicians of being political. Reminds me of a beloved Jain saying, "This fish is too fishy".

Both my domestic help, who walk 6-8 kms from Dakshinpuri to Alaknanda every day in this heat, are ecstatic. They can now take buses. They're also planning a joyride in the metro which they haven't had the luxury to take in 10 years they've been in town. Well done @ArvindKejriwal https://t.co/iNgHVblb2A

@AamAadmiParty @ArvindKejriwal @PoliceRajasthan @DelhiPolice Instead of free metro and bus rides mr. CM should give licence for guns/pistols, a better step towards woman safety #electionpropaganda #DelhiMetro #ArvindKejriwal #FreeMetroForWomen #GunControlNow

#ArvindKejriwal ,Free ride for women in #Delhimetro , & @hd_kumarswamy, +1 holiday every month for #Karnataka govt employee..? such freebies won't get you anywhere. Try to solve real problems such as garbage, pollutions etc in #Bengaluru #delhi.
