Double Standard of Leaders

      India being biggest democracy of the world, public is supreme power in the democratic set up of any nation, as it choose and sends its representatives in the house, at all levels through there fundamental right of voting, it is also accepted by the political parties and politicians but unfortunately at the time of elections, barring few political parties and politicians as every where we will find both the stuff good and bad, which are of clean image and doing development work, thus appreciated by public also. Political parties and leaders which are in power often comes up with inflated claims which on grounds never visible and that’s also in the last year of there rule. It has seen that often opposition parties stand against almost each and every claims of ruling parties whether it is policies, schemes or initiatives of the government by disrupting the house proceedings, walk out, uproar or boycott but when it comes to revise there salaries and perks then it has seen that no opposition in the house as if there is no opposition parties exit in the house, every members of the house appears of ruling party and bill passed without any debate or opposition, at the same time when time comes to debate on to the bills which are for the benefits of the public or development projects often opposition parties vocal against the bills, seen and create differences on to the name of public.
     At the time of elections, political parties woo public with there manifestos that if they get chance to comes into power then they will do score of development work, make picture of greenery with unbelievable agenda, but once they comes into power then four years of there governance pass without any concrete, good for society and public friendly works. Last year in the parliament members of the house block the proceedings in demand to increase their salaries and perks, bill was present in the parliament, August last year and it was passed without any obstacles and opposition from any parties or members, hence members pockets inflated with salaries and perks many folds as in their salary it was jump of almost three folds and there all the perks were double or more then double. Later on following the footprints of parliament Delhi government also revise the salaries and perks of there members which was clear by the house and now send proposal of increase salary and perks to the Union Home Ministry, once it get nod of Union Home Ministry then members salaries will shoot three folds from present rupees thirty two thousand to one lakh rupees and ministers salaries will also triple from forty three thousand rupees to one lakh twenty thousand rupees per month. Then Haryana state assembly also accepted the proposal of salaries and perks hike of there members, now they are entitle for salary of rupees ten thousand per month plus their perks also get handsome jumps along with it members will also get laptops and printers, while speaker, deputy speaker, chief minister and ministers salaries are double from present twenty thousand per month to forty thousand rupees per month. Latest addition in the list of salaries and perks revision is Punjab state, it will effective from 4rth November, 2010 but it is cleared in the month of March, 2011, salaries and perks of speaker, deputy speaker, leader of opposition are revise which are eye openers of common people. Last time it was revised under two year’s period.
    It has seen that on to the issue of debate on bills related to public domain, development projects, opposition often drag it, points finger on to ruling party or alliance but when it comes to the benefits of themselves like salary or perks revision, then neither in the parliaments nor in the assemblies no members or party oppose it and bills cleared without any delay and obstacles, but in the media and at the floor of the house they often stand against on to the policies, schemes, initiatives and developments projects on to the name of public hence try to prove themselves as true representatives of public in and outside of the house.
