Tamil Nadu Assembly passes bill hiking MLAs' salary by 91%
The Tamil Nadu Assembly on Friday passed a bill increasing the monthly salary and other allowances paid to the state's MLAs by nearly 91%. The bill, which was introduced by CM EK Palaniswami, hikes the MLAs' salary from â¹55,000 to â¹1,05,000. Slamming the government over its refusal to increase the salaries of bus drivers, several opposition leaders opposed the bill.
