Yesterday in the budget session in the
assembly, our beloved Chief Minister Siddaramaiah announced to double up the
MLAs fund. Many legislators have been apparently asking for the raise since
long, stating that the current Rs.1Cr wasn’t sufficient. This fund is purposed
to infrastructure development activities within the legislator’s respective
wards.
Well,
if the current budget wasn’t sufficient to take up the development activities
and need more to do the job right, then the raise can be justified. But is that
all? Is, just a gut feel of the sufficiency enough to double up the budget?
Shouldn’t there (or was there?) a thought be given to the usage & tracking of those funds?
What all has been done with the existing 1Cr? What do you intend to do with the
additional 1Cr? How do you say that an additional 1Cr is needed? Is there a
plan or proposal & an estimate for it?
Or is
the MLA development fund for development OF
MLAs instead of development BY
MLAs? J
