News India Live, Digital Desk: There is no assurance as to when the ‘mood’ will change in politics. Recently a news has come from Odisha which has proved that in a democracy, if the public turns a blind eye, then big leaders have to reverse their decisions. talking is happening salaries of leaders The same issue which always cuts knives on the hearts of us middle class people.
Recently, the Odisha Assembly had passed a resolution. The plan was to increase the salaries of MLAs three times. yes, you heard it right Three times! Meaning, if someone’s income increases by 10-20 thousand then he throws a party, here there were preparations to take the salary to lakhs. But as soon as this bill was passed, a strange political drama started.
“First yes, then no” – what is the matter?
Everything was fine in the beginning. Everyone agreed to the proposal to increase the salary. After all, who feels bad about increased money? But the twist in the story came when this news came out of the walls of the assembly. People outside were struggling with inflation, unemployment and their small salaries. In such a situation, the public did not like this “bumper lottery” of the leaders. Questions started being raised on social media, and discussions became heated at tea shops.
Now what has happened is that Only BJP MLAs have pulled back.
Yes, the same MLAs who are in the ruling party have asked the Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi Have met. It is reported that he has given a memorandum saying – “CM sir, put this salary hike on hold or take it back. We do not want this increased money.”
Now you must be wondering how the mind of the leaders changed overnight? it is called ‘Public fear’,
Opposition’s ‘masterstroke’ and moral pressure
The opposition also played a big role in overturning this entire game. former chief minister Naveen Patnaik He clearly said that he would not accept this increased salary. When such a big leader—who has ruled Odisha for decades—sets an example of simple living, it definitely creates ‘moral pressure’ on the newly formed government and its MLAs.
Perhaps BJP MLAs felt that if Naveen Babu rejected the money and we kept it quietly in his pocket, then the image among the public would be tarnished. We have to fight the next election too, brother!
Salary or credit? What will the leader choose?
If seen, this is not just an issue of salary, it Goodwill There is a fight to save. The MLAs have understood that taking a monthly salary of Rs 3 lakh at this time can be like committing political suicide.
Just imagine, on one side the state’s Anganwadi didis, para teachers and contractual employees are fighting for their rights, and on the other side their representatives are filling their pockets – doesn’t this picture look good?
At present, this refusal of BJP MLAs has forced CM Mohan Majhi to think. Will the bill be refunded? Or will there be a middle path? It will be interesting to see. But one thing is certain, friends – when the public is awakened, it is not easy to act arbitrarily.
What do you think?
Have the leaders changed this decision out of fear or are they really concerned about the public? Should the salary of an MLA be so high? Please share your frank opinion by commenting!
