Says George Fernandes:
<i> An office of profit does not stop being so by mere legislation. It still remains an office of power and patronage. The best option before Parliament to define the office of profit, is to ensure that no member of Parliament should occupy any office of profit. The MPs should devote time and energy to do jobs for which they are elected by the people....</i>
But seeing that the elected representatives, increase their own salaries, lap up all privileges and perks with all alacrity whenever an opportunity comes their way, will they listen to him?
<i>All</i> the parties are waiting for May 10th only to perpetuate the positions
already got by them
An MP had gone on record suggesting that reforms proposed by George be implemented in NDA first !
