Telangana cabinet has sent a note to the Telangana Chief Minister Office seeking huge hike for the legislators of Assembly, Council. Apparently, MLAs and MLCs of the new state of Telangana are demanding a whopping 216% hike in their salaries.
From Rs 95000 per month, T- legislators want salaries to be hiked to at least Rs 3 Lakh. Calling the present salary as ‘grossly inadequate’, already request regarding the same has been submitted to the CMO and CMO would likely to take an appropriate decision on this soon.
Corroborating the demand, Deputy CM of Telangana Mahmood Ali in a TV interview stated that the state government will consider reasonable hike in salaries of MLAs, MLCs.
This is not all. Much to the shocker, Mr Ali has dubbed the MLAs and MLCs as ‘poor’. If salaries are hiked as per the latest demand, this wound cost public exchequer extra Rs 35 Crore per annum.
