Krishna Byre Gowda, MLA

Do you agree with Khurshid's statement?
I do believe that India is a reasonably poor nation. On the human development index we're rated at a pathetic 134. We have malnutrition, lack of education, lack of proper sanitation and a whole lot of other problems. Two thirds of our population lives with these conditions in India. Keeping that in mind, a clampdown on vulgar salaries is absolutely right. At one point of time these salaries were indecent, in terms of being too little, then they became salaries that one was proud of earning, and within no time however they've morphed into salaries that are in unimaginable amounts. How does one justify a salary of say Rs 25 crore in a country like India?

How much do you think is a vulgar salary?
It is a definition issue. It depends on the size of the organisation and stress on the CEO. If he can justify the salary he takes home on par with the work he does, then okay, else Khurshid's views stands justified.

Should the private sector take part in the austerity drive?
If it begins anywhere, it should begin in the private sector. If they were going to be austere however it would be a good idea for them to believe in it. We've all seen austerity as something fashionable and we all know how true that is. So if they are going to take heed, they better implement it properly.
