Know value of your Investment ie Vote

Many of the Delhi voters being employed are aware what it takes to earn some 5-6 Lakh package & maintain it, ie hard work,long hours,few holidays,deadlines pressure. Naturally a Head or personnel at high position of 25-30 Lakh must not only give quality work but also accountability to his position or face consequences.
Lets look at our Delhi MLA's 'Package' per month (Salary+Constituency+sump. allowance=20000
Daily allowance=    30000
Electricity-3000units*6.5rs per units                        21000
Travel Expenditure reimbursement   50000
Rent free home      20000
Petrol 700liters*75Rs=52500
Driver         4000
Free Medical treatment7500
Data Entry operator allowance            30000

TOTAL MLA PAY PER MTH          2,35,000
OR ANNUAL MLA PAY      29-30 Lakh
5 YEARS MLA PAY             1.5Crore
+ LifeLong pension.

High pay...but where's the work review by people who pay him ie You! Is he liable for punishment / fine / job loss when he faulters like through Lokayukt or Right To Recall ...No! Neither you have any concrete say on his spending for the people.
An MLA gets 4 crores per year or 20 crore for 5 years for spending on public welfare of your constituency alone! You must have a say in spending of your tax paid money for your problems to be resolved by it. Congress Bjp wont give you that power,but AAM AADMI PARTY is promising just that, Swaraj or Decentralization of power from MLA to people.

Now lets come to overall Delhi's spending. Total of Delhi govt's revenue (through taxes you pay etc) or Annual Budget is 30,000Cr...5 years total amount comes to 1.5Lakh crore (though it increases 10-15% every year so it shud be more, but for simplicity sake its ignored ). Total voters in delhi are 1.15 Lakh.
So the pure money Value (True Value is much much more) of your single vote is (1.5 Lakh Cr Rs ÷ 1.5Lakh votes) 1.3Lakh! This is your investment that will decide not only yours but your family's future & development. You should not only vote but encourage every other person to vote because if you don't make your investment, other person will make it for you & you will be burdened by his choice.
Hence every citizen must Vote & encourage voting for better investment for your future.
