The criminal beggars have done it. They have passed a bill that allows a minister to take any number of passengers at the same travel rates allowed to them. These may be relatives, friends or just acquaintances or, who knows, donors as well. Apparently this abomination already exists for members of parliament and ministers are just being brought upto par. Where MPs go can MLAs be left behind. Only a couple of weeks back I was unlucky enough to have a runin with one of these travelling to Mumbai escorted by two armed policemen. Then there are luxury aircrafts, helicopters, expensive cars and foreign junkets all paid for by the long suffering taxpayer. We, the people, need a charter of absolute rights. Right to life, property, education and medical care are not enough. We need the right to the lowest taxes, small government, best services, best roads, best utilities and, most importantly, the right to have our own representatives monitor government expenses. Winning an election is not a carte blanche to treat the public exchequer as private property to be squandered at will. We need citizens' corporations to represent us and keep these leeches in check. No sharam, no izzat.
