“I want public representatives to work honestly. Then it is also necessary to see that they are adequately paid. Legislators are travelling in their own vehicles in their constituencies and coming to the Assembly. Being members in various committees, they are attending various programmes besides meetings in district headquarters and are incurring heavy expenditure. I think a salary hike is needed,” he said.
