Telangana Lawmakers Salary

Telangana lawmakers are set to become the country's highest paid after giving themselves a fat salary hike at a time the state has been in the news for farmer suicides.

The lawmakers of Telangana have demanded a three-time hike in their salary, taking a cue from their colleagues in Delhi.

In new state Telangana, where more than 400 debt-ridden farmers have committed suicide since June, chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao has announced that salaries of all lawmakers will be doubled.

New state Telangana has recorded some bleak statistics in its first five months of existence - 348 farmers have committed suicide. While that will be a big issue in the state's first Budget session that began today, legislators are also pushing for a salary hike.
