SHOULD THE FORMER C.M’S BE ELIGIBLE FOR PRIVILEGES
TO RETAIN BUNGALLOWS AND STAFF AT PUBLIC EXPENSE ?
The U.P. Government has told the S.C. that the former C.M.’s are a privileged class and deserve to enjoy certain benefits after demitting office. This should not be taken as a stray case in U.P. alone . There is good chances that it will spread to other states also . The main interest of Law makers should be towards development of the constituency and serving the people .
The Tamilnadu Assembly had doubled the salary for M.L.A.’s before resolving pending retirement benefits for the transport workers for years. Legislators even before fulfilling the electoral manifesto and promises should never go for their pay hike . It is a pity we are electing the same old legislators / party who have failed to deliver service to the people.
The attached paper clipping from The Hindu of 29th will have many questions . Some which came to my understanding :
* Law makers keep making and bringing in such amendments [as in the U.P. Assembly wanting privileges for former C.M.’s] should think of where the funds will come from . And land for such will be created from if the former ones are privileged to stay in the house. Do they want to evict normal citizens and put up these former C.M.’s .
*Further the demand will go from C.M. to the Ministers and so on.
* Privy purses ordinance was brought in the 70’s and the Rulers / kings / vassals accepted the ordinance after enjoying their privileges for decades and generations . There are no more kings and Rajas in India now. Every one have to work for their bread.ARE THEY TRYING TO REINTRODUCE THIS SYSTEM .
HOWDO WE KNOW OUR LEGISLATORS BEFORE ELECTING WHETHER THEIR INTEREST IS CONSTITUENCY FIRST OR THEIR PERSONAL INTEREST FIRST ? Jai Hind. more

What logic is applied by the SC for providing benefits after the Politicians ceases to exit from Public Service ? I agree with Pension but that too should be in accordance with the amount of contribution made by the officer. But why any other ILLOGICAL Expenditure at the COST OF PUBLIC. more

IN first place, when this is a public service why they should get remuneration? If at all it is to be given, it should be bare minimum to meet the expenses of politicians. Why they should be paid remuneration for the days they stall Parliament/Assembly? If if once MP/MLA, they get life long pension. Why this? Look at the perks they enjoy? Amazing! Does the Constitution can give them right to increase their own benefits? Lakhs of crores of money is spent on these elected representatives whereas we have people who commit suicide for being unable to survive. more

All the representatives, duly elected under the Representation of Peopele' Act, and holding position such as PM, CM, MP, MLA, MLC, Corporators etc etc ARE PUBLIC SERVANTS. However, after they get elected, and gaining portfolios and positions, act like lords. Immediately on coming to position, these representatives demand higher salaries, perks etc and also pension even for a small tenure as five years. Whereas salaried, middle class persons get a tuppence pension only AFTER working for forty years, and as per their eligibility. Under the circumstances, the perks etc being enjoyed by these sol called representatives are totally NOT justified as such perks are the outcome from the tax payer's amount. Further, holding of the accommodation allotted by the government, during their tenure MUST be vacated immediately on relinquishing their post. WHY SHOULD SUCH PERSONS ENJOY ALL THE AMENITIES AND PERKS WHEN THEY BECOME INELIGIBLE FOR THE SAME, ONCE THEY RENOUNCE THEIR POSITION. more

Any elected member be eligible for pension, no other perks if they complete 10 years continuously. The perks should be given to President, VP, PM only upon retirement. Incase the president, VP, PM after retirement gets another posting like Governor, the pension payable stops till they hold that office. All other MLA's, MP's, CM's, Ministers be made eligible for pension only and no other perks. more
