Thanks, Manish. This is what I wrote to Sh. Vittal by e-mail. Could others
investigate further? Question: why is an average US senator relatively much
more honest than or average MP/MLA?

Sir,

Thanks for your letter. I got your point investigated. The following is a
view on the salaries by Manish Gupta from USA:

Governors and Presidents get over $200,000. Therefore, I believe your view
on public service being a loss-making enterprise is not quite valid.
