Hike has no effect on politicians because we pay for them and ourselves also.

Now it becomes more clear of a one sided game during elections. Private sector which contributes immensley towards the coffers have been overlooked. Salary increase, Vehicle permits and other benefits for Government sector, step motherly treatment for Private sector. If the entire Private sector closes down for one day as a protest, government will lose billions. Mangala will face the consequences during election time!
