According to officials in the legislature, Karnataka ranks fifth in the country in terms of salaries and allowances to MLAs. This is all the more reason for citizens to demand performance, accountability and transparency from the elected members who are compensated from the taxes that we pay. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~||~~~~~~~~~ As per Karnataka Election Watch that analyzed the affidavits of incumbent candidates, each MLAs assets grew by an average of 79%. Without casting any aspersions on the sources, we the citizens of Karnataka have a right to know how our public servants are able to generate this kind of income. Only when we the common people continue to engage with our elected representatives even after the elections are over and continue to monitor and evaluate their performance will we be able to demand good governance from them. It is in our own interest that we do not relax but continue to demand both accountability and performance from our MLAs for the next 5 years
