The politicians in this country are so thick-skinned that they will put the rhinos and elephants to shame. Recently the newspapers reported that workers digging land for 13 days were paid only Re 1 under the MGNREGA scheme. And the Rural Development and Panchayti Raj Minister of Rajasthan had the nerve to say that "The wage determination and distribution was according to the measurement".

If such rules of measurement are applied then the MPs should get even less salary than a Rupee per day. Why has their salary been increased manifold?
