THINK

Have a look at this

Monthly Salary 12,000

Expense for Constitution per month 10,000

Office expenditure per month 14,000

Traveling concession (Rs. 8 per km)48,000 ( eg.For a visit from kerala to Delhi & return: 6000 km)

Daily DA TA during parliament meets 500/day

Local phone call charge Free up to 1 ,70,000 calls.

TOTAL expense for a MP [having no qualification] per year 32,00,000 [i.e . 2.66 lakh/month]

TOTAL expense for 5 years 1,60,00,000

For 534 MPs, the expense for 5 years :
8,54,40,00,000 (nearly 855 crores)

AND THE FINANCE MINISTER IS THINKING TWICE TO GIVE ADEQUATE HIKE TO GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES IN THE FORTHCOMING FINANCE COMMISSION.....  

This is how all our tax money is been swallowed and price hike on our regular commodities....... 

Also Daily Allowance given to Government Employees on tour is a pittance. Which neither covers the Lodge rent  nor sufficient three square meal  per day.

And this is the present condition of people serving the nation. Millions suffer with poverty, disease and misery.



855 crores could make their life livable !!
Think of the great democracy we have.............

STILL Proud to be INDIAN ?
