There is saying "politics is a last resort of a scoundrel". But going by the price of each Member opf Parliament these days, it is as good as indian commercialised cricket. Moreover Communists areer posing themselves as ignoramus all these decades regarding horse trading profession of Cong-I.Do not under estimate Cong-I and their dealers.

Left withdrew because they are not horses but donkeys. Trading was limited to horses

What a shame !!! Oh !!! Govt is not doing any business with mankind and only having horses and donkeys as their friends thus don't know about the Man's problem. I found the reason for the price raise now :)
When they withdrew, did he not think there ould be horsetrading???? Why did he create such a situation in the first place??? You create the situation and then you blame the 'system' and the unintended 'results' for that?
The late Shri. P.V. Narasimha Rao had paid a considerable amount of money to JMM MPs to vote for his Govt. So it is already there in the Congress culture. They only want to cling to power by hook or by crook. And of course none of them batted an eye-lid when an Italian ran away from our Country with Rs. 21 Crores of our tax-payer's money. Another Italian asked the CBI to look the other way when the case for de-freezing the Bank Account was being heard in the Courts of Law in UK.

I have heard that it was the mining lobby that paid the amount. They will earn ten times that amount in the next few years. Mera Bharat is indeed Mahaan!!!!!!!!!

due to inflation, these guys have to pay high man. This is due to international oil prices and nothing else.

What to do. This could have been done much lesser price but due to the price rise this comes to 15c for MLA and 25c for MPs. I wonder if the crude oil price still goes on, oh god, we have to increase this rate.

Finally we have someone to match the cricketers.Honestly I would have taken the bait if I was a MP. 25 crore is too much to resist.
Just came across this news items in the local newspaper:
A disgraced ex-lawmaker who threw Colombian politics into turmoil by saying President Alvaro Uribe's re-election was tainted by corruption added body to the scandal on Tuesday by appearing naked on the cover of a magazine.
Yidis Medina was found guilty last month of taking illegal favors from government officials in return for voting for the constitutional amendment that permitted the 2006 re-election.
Any politician in India courageous enough to this?.
Making aound 5-10 lakhs people fool is not a easy task. It is really tough, otherwise you can try out this by standing in next MPs election and then winning. I think these all MPs deserve this 25 crs each. And it is called democracy...
