It is really disturbing to know the rates of food items served in Parliament canteen. A MP at present has a three course lunch at mere 38 rupees which a common man or aam aadmi has to pay Rs 70 or 100 for thali.
The question is are the MPs really so poor to be given a subsidy on food items which is revealed through the RTI? As a result the government faced a loss of Rs 14 crore in 2013-14 because of subsidy in half dozen canteens in parliament complex.
The common man is struggling to get 2 meals per day and our MPs are enjoying food at the cost of the tax payer which should be done away with and the same amount can be used for feeding the poor in backward villages of the country.
