Exemption Recommendations for our MPs & MLAs.

I read this news today - An empowered group of ministers today approved exempting MPs and MLAs from paying toll on national highways. So another benefit goes in favor of our corrupt politicians.

I heard that in US, every Judge and minister has to pay toll and the only exceptions are – emergency vehicles and toll construction workers. Few days back I read that David Cameron has announced 5% salary cut for all the ministers including self and pay freeze for all MPs. This move of the new British PM will reduce some fiscal deficit and the recent move by our government will increase fiscal deficit.
I feel sad that Government considers MPs and MLA s above law of land and treated special.

Is it because they are the representatives of people and can approve everything that benefits them only?
Why these exceptions are always in their interest?

So, I believe that our MPs and MLAs deserve following exemptions as well –
- Shopping Malls
- Beer Bar
- Dance Bar
- Pubs
- Hotels
- Casinos
- Horse Riding
- Cruise
- Air Travel (If not yet exempted)

Also, there was a recent resignation from a minister in Karnataka government because of rape charges. Probably there should be some exemption for similar things.

If you find anything which our ministers deserve and should be exempted, please add to the list.

Thank You.
