Do the ministers need salary at all????

I would say, raise their salary and make sure corruption is curtailed.

Satish, you are mistaken. Their appetite for money is unsatiable. This applies to all politicians. They are unanimous when it comes to passing bills to increase their own remuneration. Absolutely no opposition to that. So their salaries are in their own hands; we are powerless to do anything about it, except to get fleeced by taxes in each budget.

They may have insatiable appetite for money. But, as citizens we need to resist such misbehavior. Else, administration would only go downhill.
