Delhi CM asks ministers, MLAs to accept 20 pc salary cut | Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit has asked her
ministers and Congress lawmakers to voluntarily take 20 per cent less salary.
Dikshit is said to have issued a letter to all ministers and Congress MLAs asking
them to follow the decision of the Congress Working Committee (CWC) and party
president Sonia Gandhi in practising austerity. The letter by Dikshit came after
she received an AICC communication today asking her to implement austerity measures
outlined in the CWC last month. In her letter she asked MLAs and ministers to
receive 20 per cent less salary for at least next one year. DPCC chief J P Aggarwal
said he has also asked ministers and party MLAs in the city to practice austerity
and donate 20 per cent of their salary for drought relief. "I sent a letter to
all the ministers and MLAs asking them to follow the footsteps of our leaders
Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi in practising austerity," Aggarwal said. "I told
them that we must follow our leader Sonia Gandhi who set an example by travelling
economy class to Mumbai. Rahul Gandhi also travelled to Ludhiana in a Chair Car
seat in the Shatabdi Express to set an example," he said. |
