After Telangana, now the Andhra Pradesh Assembly has proposed a salary hike for MLAs to at least Rs 2 lakh a month. The salary hike for the MLAs has been recommended by an Assembly committee citing rising inflation.
The demands were raised and discussed with amenities committee headed by speaker K Sivaprasada Rao. The committee has members from the BJP and the YSRCP too.
This comes just months after Andhra Pradesh declared drought in 196 mandals in 13 districts after over 1000 deaths were reported due to heat wave. Also, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu has been raising the issue of a financial crisis faced by state ever since bifurcation.
This comes just days after the Telangana government cleared the proposal to increase the salary of its legislators from Rs 1.25 lakh to Rs 3.5 lakh per month.
The legislators in Telangana have also demanded plots and houses in Hyderabad, citing that they come from other cities. They have even demanded that more money be allocated to them for buying vehicles.
