It is 9.03 pm now. Electric power in our area went off 5 minutes ago. As I mentioned in my previous posts, this is a frequent happening in our area in Chennai.
I understand that the area's MLA (Member of the Legislative Assembly) has a political obligation to communicate problems such as power cut to the State Government officials and try to fix the problem. It is a very well known fact that powercuts are common and many times they are as long as one hour in our area.
I tried to find the phone number or email ID of our MLA several times, but in vain.
This afternoon I heard from Polimer News TV Channel that the Tamilnadu Government has increased the monthly allowance of former MLAs from Rs 30,000 to Rs 35,000. It is obvious that the salary of MLAs who are still in their posts is much higher.
I think that instead of giving large salaries to irresponsible, insensitive and evil MLAs, the Government should punish such MLAs severely with a minimum punishment of dismissal (not mere suspension) from service, alongwith imprisonment in single cells with only common toilets. Punishment should also be given to bad employees in Government departments.
Punishment should be so severe that evil MLAs (across barriers) don't even imagine contesting in any election in future.
