Debjit Mukherjee: In view of the price rise, Odisha Assembly members, cutting across party lines, demanded a hike in their salaries on Saturday.
The parties whose legislators demanded the salary hike include those from the ruling BJD, the primary opposition BJP and those from the Congress.
The lawmakers demanded a revision of their remuneration and pension, citing the rising cost of living due to inflation.
Following the demand across party lines, Speaker Bikram Keshari Arukha has requested the government to consider the demand.
