As a public representative,it would be much better if all our legislators donate one month salary to PM CARES Fund
780+ MPs donating approx 1,50,000 each= 11.7 cr approx(I know it isn't that big an amount,but still every Penny helps)

MPLAD fund for 2020-21 and 2021-22 (amounting to 7900 Cr rupees) has been discontinued and will go to CFI

Now ABC would force(if he doesn't agree then transfer,the next person will do it) the district official to give tender to construct the road to his XYZ's company

Another significant decision taken is reducing the salary, allowances and pension of MPs by 30% w.e.f. from 01/04/2020
Now some say,it would save merely 60 Cr rupees
So why this hype ?
