New Delhi. After demanding a salary that is one rupee more than that of a secretary, Indian MPs now want the same secretary to eat at least one roti or chapaati less than what our elected representatives have for lunch or dinner. MPs believe that such a step, in resonance with salary hike, would rationalize the consumption as well as the income of the MPs, which bodes well for the economy.
“Even a kutta (dog) of our wealthy people eats more rotis and chicken-pieces than us.” RJD President Lalu Yadav declared in Lok Sabha, outlining the serious difficulties through which our poor MPs were going vis a vis rich dogs, which attracted loud roaring support from fellow MPs.
“If we can’t guarantee the Right to Food to ourselves, how can we promise the same to the masses?” reasoned Mr. Yadav, making a direct reference to the UPA government’s promised National Food Security Act, widely believed to be a dream of UPA Chairperson Mrs. Sonia Gandhi.

Lalu Yadav was later joined by many other MPs cutting across party lines, who expressed outrage over the fact that they were not having decent diet. After hours of pandemonium, four rounds of adjournments and three random walkouts, the government decided to give in to the demands by the honorable members for a balanced diet.
“A joint parliamentary committee would look into the demands of our hungry MPs.” informed Parliamentary Affairs Minister Mr. Pawan Kumar Bansal.
According to sources, the committee is most likely to suggest limiting the diet of the secretaries to create parity, rather hierarchy, in the government echelons. In line with its earlier recommendation on salary hike for the MPs, the committee is expected to ask secretaries to eat at least one roti or chapaati less than the MPs. A feasible formula for the same is being worked out.
“This is also in line with the government’s policy of creating level playing fields and guaranteeing inclusive growth for everyone by pulling down quarters that are doing unusually well to merge them with the average.” said an MP, who would be a member of the committee.
Outside parliament, most of the politicians agreed with demands by MPs with a senior leader like BJP President Nitin Gadkari expressing regret on having compared Lalu Yadav with dogs earlier.
“I stand corrected in wake of new revelations.” a somber Gadkari told Faking News.
Meanwhile dogs have sighed a yelp of relief on hearing the news, as they feared their own diet to be controlled and lessened after Lalu Yadav criticized the luxuries enjoyed by them earlier in the parliament.
“Thank god, we thought after the farm animals, our fodder, err food, was at risk!” said Kuttanandan, a leader of Movement for Dog Rights (MDR).

Satire cant support cynicism. Where MPs current salary is less than a peon, we have to give them a chance to be honest!
wow! now you are being a bigger Lalu by claming it is lesser than a peon’s (unless you are being sarcastic)
these fucking nuts earn at least a lakh per month if one is to add up all the cash equivalent benefits that these jokers get, but go around claiming that they earn lesser than a cleark. and anyway, the clerk is far more educated than these fuckers!
and you think honesty can be bought with a few grands? a person who is fucking dishonest and criminal like lalu, will suddenly become honest with increase of salary! brillaint logic
Do you add your travel allowance to your salary when you calculate your CTC you idiot? Or the price of the air ticket when on tour?
Dumbos from the Indian English press who earn their living by only demonizing politicians seem to have completely brainwashed you. If you have the guts, ask the bloody presswalas about paid news
You must be totally stupid Mr Rajendra, at least think before you write. Do I take taxpayers money and travel around the world? These politicians do it and people have every right to know why their saas-sasurs, chacha-bhatijas are also availing these facilities. This is not the main point though. The fact of the matter is that they have been given too much power to change the lives of the people. If you had known any top government employee, you must be knowing that govt. spend lots of money to provide them with security, drivers, ambassadors, flat/bungalow and what not. Even for food they don’t have to pay from their pockets.All these facilities, just to make sure they don’t have any problems to distract so that they can do their jobs soothingly. And after all these, still we don’t get even 50% of the work that should’ve been done by these bastards.
completely brainwashed by the presswalas Raju if you think travel expenses should be added to salary. Also, learn to differentiate between govt employees and MPs, who are politicians.
Glorify these corrupt politicians? Even if they are forced to work without salaries… they will have a steady flow of income! where do u live my dear friend? Less salary doesn’t mean low income. they have their ways working fine!
i think their salary should go up by 1000 % meaning from the current base salary to 16000 to 160000 thats the only way to discourage corruption, of course, the police, customs, it department, armymen and various others also need a pay hike NOW and I am serious
