SSC Scam: According to the sources of the Legislative Assembly Secretariat, the MLAs get Rs. 21,870 as salary after excluding the meeting allowance of committees. And if one MLA attends committee meetings, he gets a total salary of Rs. 82,000. Now Partha Chatterjee is not in any committee. So, he will get Rs 21,870 as salary.
The first cabinet rejig in the TMC's third term comes as the party is facing a crisis over the arrest of senior minister Partha Chatterjee by the ED over the school jobs scam last month.
