Why should so much taxpayers’money be spent on these…
We wondered that’s why those crezy Matric failed or attempted puc or ba r ambitioning to become MLA n when he do becomes he builds mansion palace within six months; and start again compaining for the next election with that left over amount….
Is that much amount worth of his standard not to speak of his responsibility to people; his creative finding of developmental projects in his constituency … it’s too much.
Let him be paid excluding other allowances Rs 30000/ pm enough.
And paid or sanctioned adequately according to the nature of projects he presents, and more.
Kindly post here the salaries and facilities provided to the Ministers for only in the interest of public knowledge
