Let us tell you that if we talk about the state which gives the highest salary to the MLAs in the country, then the name of Telangana comes at the top, where an MLA gets 2.5 lakh per month including all the allowances. The Aam Aadmi Party had also proposed to increase the salary in December 2015, in which it was said to increase the salary of each MLA from 54 thousand to 2.10 lakh, but the central government had canceled it.
