New Delhi: A demand for raising salaries and allowances of MPs was made in the Rajya Sabha today with members demanding that their salaries should be higher than the revised scale of the Cabinet Secretary.
Ram Gopal Yadav (SP) said after the implementation of the 7th Pay Commission, wages of MPs was less than a PA in the government.
Raising the issue through a Zero Hour mention, Ram Gopal Yadav (SP) said after the implementation of the 7th Pay Commission, wages of MPs was less than a PA in the government.
It is less than the salary a legislator in Delhi Assembly gets. It is not even half of the revised salary of Maharashtra legislators and one-third of those in Telengana, he said.
Yadav said while inflation has soared, the salaries of MPs, who also have to entertain a lot of public visitors, has remained static.
Last month too, SP had raised the demand for early implementation of the recommendations of a Parliamentary Committee headed by Yogi Adityanath on wages and allowances of MPs.
Yadav said the salary of MPs should be higher than the revised scale of Cabinet Secretary after the implementation of the 7th Pay Commission.
The self serving parliamentarians will have a smooth sailing to a hefty pay cheque with no hinderances and anamolies. God bless them!
