An Idea for Members of Parliament

Instead of paying our MPs peanuts, I propose we pay them Rs. 10 lakhs a month. But what we should do simulataneously is to snap all the freebies they get from the government. No more free phone calls. No more free air tickets. No more sitting fee for parliament. No more subsidised house rents. No more subsidised electricity supply. And no more free salaries for their secretaries. By doing away with this cocooned existence, we will be ensuring that MPs get a first hand experience of inflation and all other hardships that the average Joshi faces.
