UP Assembly Passes Bills Including Legislators' Salary Hike
The Uttar Pradesh government made two big decisions.
They passed a law about the Banke Bihari Temple, which some people disagreed with.
They also decided to pay the people who make the laws (MLAs and MLCs) and the ministers more money.
The ministers will get more money each month, and the MLAs/MLCs also receive a raise.
This was decided by a committee, and the raises will cost the government a lot of money.
Uttar Pradesh Assembly passed the Banke Bihari Temple Trust Bill and a bill increasing legislators' salaries.
Samajwadi Party members protested the temple trust bill, staging a walkout.
The Uttar Pradesh State Legislative Member and Minister Comfort Law (Amendment) Bill, 2025, unanimously passed.
Minister salaries increased from Rs 40,000 to Rs 50,000 and MLAs/MLCs from Rs 25,000 to Rs 35,000.
The state government will incur an annual expenditure of approximately Rs 105 crore.
