You have given the structure of the total members so what can we say now, but Indian government is spending high amount each and every Parliament member but they are not servicing anymore but taking profession so that is good sign for the country.
I think they should change and think before taking decisions, have ever pass this information to them.

We need to elect the right people other wise we are going to face serious problems in the future and i know many of them doing illegal things after electing from the people so even they don't good things rather than that they will do and create problems to public.

ok.if it was a service we dont expect any qualifications but since its a profession now,the politicians must have certain qualification to even enter politics like no criminal records but u know and we know thats as long politicians change the laws as per their wish and using CBI as Congress Bureau of Investigation,we r literally doomed.y care about their expenditures if they can provide well for the people?

Hello my dear stardustcdsd JI,
All politicians are paid from 'Public-Fund', so they too should be governed by land-laws for their recruitment, but they are not recruited , they are elected. So it is public to elect or reject such Politician who are not worth. Let's hope for better election process. May God bless You and have a graet time.

You are right. Now, politics is a profession and no more a service. The sad part is it is the worst profession. Very few people think and act like politics is a way to serve the country and citizens. Everybody else wants to make money out of it and enjoy the power that the position offers.

Hello MGBU Jee, it is mind blowing literally. I never knew this by God. An ordinary MP ( having nothing in the brain) is likely to get this much huge, huge ,huge amount and for all this total of Rs. 8855 crore we sacrifice almost one month's salary every year and in return what we are getting? nepotism, corruption, mismanagement of funds, money power and muscle power ( these are the bought ones ) and the country languishes in poverty and burning issues remain unsolved forever. For example - unemployment problem. This has been there since Jawaharlal Nehru.
We are made to feel proud that we are the largest democracy in the world and belching out this go on chewing hard bread with a glass of water ( contaminated ).And when you speak the truth some members here at mylot itself are up with arms and preach the duty of a teacher.
We are to blame ourselves to a larger extent. we have never tried to learn the ground reality like how an MP is being fed and in return we are being consistently deprived of the basic amenities.
That politics is no longer a service but a profession and therefore to be in this profession one is up to ant extent.
Long live Indian Democracy
