One of the key rules of working life is that you better mark your attendance. If you don’t regularyturn up for work, a) your don’t get paid, and if your absence is chronic, b) you get sacked It is some thing that all of us live with, and accept as part of the deal. So why is it any different from Parliamentarians? What gives them the right not to turn up to work? After all we – the tax payer – are paying them well, and on time, and with full benefits. So if they don’t turn up shouldn’t they not be paid, and then if their behaviour continues, shouldn’t they be sacked? Let’s please start with Mr.Govinda – missing Parliamentarian from the constituency nextdoor. The next is Mr.Dharmendra – who by his own wife’s accord does not belong in Parliament. And then let’s start working our way down the BJP ranks – no work no pay and the sack. If we – the people – end up dismissing even 5 of our honourable representatives for not doing their job – the rest will hopefully wake up and start doing theirs.

You hit the nail on the head. Its strange how we never apply the corporate discipline yardstick to the politicians.The country is not akin to a company, but that doesn’t excuse the political mismanagement and lack of responsibility.
hi
While the government is not a company – rules of accountability, responsibility and delivery can apply to government just as well as they do to any of us.
if the target is to get 10 million kids into schools – than the HRD ministry had better meet the target
If the target is to ensure that 1 million villages get portable water – then the appropriate department had better start delivering.
End of the day the Government has to be a profitable (balance of payments, trade), effective (meeting targets) and efficient.
Finally all Parliamentarians are responsible for at least turning up and doing their job.
If they think that standing in front of cameras and mouthing off is their job, maybe then they should send their salary bills to news channels and not the tax payer
