Looks like it’s bad news for the Andhra Pradesh legislatives who have been expecting a hike in their pay checks. The state’s Minister of Finance Yanamala Ramakrishnudu yesterday stated that the government is not considering the proposal to increase the monthly salaries of the MLAs.
The YSRCP MLA D Raja said during the zero hour that the government has not been considering to increase the salaries of the MLAs and is also not coming forward to allot additional constituency development funds even after a lapse of two years.
In his response to the YSRCP MLA, Yanamala said that the proposals for salary hike and additional funds have to first approach the amenities committee and that the government will take its decision only after the proposal is introduced in the house following the committee’s report.
