Its not just the salary that these politicians get. The annual cost incurred in having one MP runs into a minimum of Rs 1 crore. This includes the prime area posh bunglow, thousands of free telephone calls, 30 free air flights, equal or more number of first class rail tickets, security and list can just keep going on. Even at a Rs 40000/- per month salary, any regular human being can afford to buy a small two bedroom flat, a four wheeler, education for their kid while paying EMI's just like many of us. It's the choice that one needs to make over gree versus need.
