MP’s still unhappy after getting 200% salary hike- Is it acceptable?

Citizens are unable to cope with the price hike which the government is unable to control and here it is going with a 200% hike in the salary of the MP’s.
After such a huge salary hike,many MP’s had walked out of the Parliament,as this was not acceptable to them. They were willing to engulfe the whole country’s wealth. Did they ever think of the citizens who are paying the taxes and try to cope up with the price hike.
These scoundrels(MP’s) get paid from the pocket of citizens,this means, a hike in their salary is burden on the normal citizens which will bring additional burden of excess tax or price hike in some way or the other.
At present a single MP costs 37 lakhs a year. Some details about the hike:
• Basic pay earlier it was Rs.16k and now it is Rs.50k
• Office expenses [biggest joke] from existing Rs.20k to Rs.50k per month
• Constituency allowance from present Rs.20k to Rs.40k [is it not there responsibility to visit their constituency, then why they should be paid to visit?]
• Interest free loan of Rs.4 lakhs to buy car
• Hike in mileage allowance from present Rs.13/- per km to Rs.16/- per km
• Now even spouse[s?] can also travel unlimited number of times in railways that too in first class along with can also claim for road mileage
• Increase in pension from present Rs.8k to Rs.20k [If at all they retire, as most of the politicians service starts after the age of 50+]
• 1,50,000 phone calls are absolutely free with 3 landlines and 2 mobile phones
• They will get even rented furniture to the tune of Rs.60k, apart from free washing of sofa covers, bathroom tiles and curtains
• 50k units of free electricity per annum
• 4000 kilo litres of free water

When all these calculated and summed up per year it will come to Rs.37 lakhs per MP per year, who said India is a poor country, when an politician wins the election he is entitled for all the benefits mentioned aforesaid, not more than 25% of MP's re-elected in India, then calculate since independence how many MP's India have seen, how many are still living and getting retirement benefits.

Then MP's have lots of reservation like first class in railways with their family for any number of times. 1,50,000 free phone calls on 3 landlines and 2 mobile phone. Rent free housing which government pays for the furniture ranges from 15,000 to 60,0000 and many other facilities which are sometimes out of reach of the "Aam Aadmi".
I still remember the day when ,a mere hike of 55% was proposed in the salary of govt employees in sixth pay commission in 2008, after a long waited period of 14 years. The 5th pay commission came in 1994. So, after 14 years,the govt employees got a hike of 35%,for which all these MP’s opposed .
At that time ,none of them came in favour of planning commission ,finally by their united strength they restricted the hike to mere 30-35% for govt employees.
But when it came for them, they are unhappy getting 200% hike alongwith other benefits. These illiterate buffaloes are demading salaries higher than IAS officers.
I can forsee the democratic government transforming to some other type of government.A new rennaisance will come in this country also.
