MLA for a Day, Pension for Life
Even if a politician serves as an mla for just one single day, they are eligible to draw a lifelong pension. Add a term as an MP, and they’re entitled to a second pension — doubling their taxpayer-funded comfort.
40 Years of Work, zero Pension
An ordinary citizen can slog for 40 years, paying taxes, contributing to the nation’s economy, and still end up with no guaranteed pension once they lose their job or retire early. If you’re 50 and jobless, tough luck; the system offers you nothing.
Freebies for Politicians, Austerity for Citizens
Politicians enjoy not just pensions, but also subsidised housing, transport, food in parliament canteens, and lifelong security. The common man? He faces rising prices, shrinking job security, and a zero safety net.
Rewarding Power, Punishing Hard Work
Instead of creating a system that rewards decades of hard work, india has institutionalised perks for those in power, even if they barely serve. The message is clear: politics pays, honest labour doesn’t.
The Harsh Reality Check
While millions struggle with no retirement plan or social security, our netas enjoy lifelong luxuries at the cost of taxpayers’ sweat. If this isn’t irony, what is?
👉 India desperately needs pension reforms — one that values citizens’ contribution to the nation, not just politicians’ seat-warming days.
