It is natural for Modi to bite the bullet as subsidies  given by UPA did not give them the votes!! However I feel Modi along with all MPS and MLAs should also  voluntarily give up their perks and pay to the extent that the common man is now asked to face the problem of   defecits and  so on. By voluntarily giving up their pay and perks by say 20 percent of what they are now getting will convey the message that our elected reps  do care about the horrible economic situation in the country .They may argue that what is  saved by such gestures will not make any difference to the present state as the amount involved will be truly negligible!!   But the fact that they are prepared to share the difficulties will make the Common Man Happy.  Let our MPs and MLAs spend less by reducing the use of cars and air travel and so on .  If however certain parties like Congress oppose such a proposal , the ruling party should set an example by voluntarily giving up say 20 to 40 % of what they are now entitled  . The result will be dramatic and BJP need not exert too  much to win the assembly elections.  I know certain CMs do not draw their salaries . And I remember Rajaji  fixing his own pay as Rs 500 per month when he was CM of Madras in late 40s . And when he retired he  just quietly moved to his modest house in T Nagar !!!  Lal Bahudir Shastri also set an example.

I would like this message to reach Modi and will someone help me to put this suggestion on all Social media like Face book Twitter and so on.  Some political parties are agitating against these increases hoping to win elections . They should realize that UPA got less than 50 seats even after hurriedly passing the Food Security bill and Rahul talking about that in every rally  .Pl .help
