The monthly pension of former legislators is also likely to go up. Government sources said that a draft proposal in this regard has been sent from the Law and Parliamentary Affairs Department to the governor's office. Only after the governor's approval, the Karnataka Ministers' Salaries and Allowances (amendment) Bill will be tabled in both Houses for approval.

"We are yet to get a communication from the governor's office. We are not sure whether the Bill will be placed during this session itself," the sources said.

ZOHRAN MAMDANI TROUNCES TRUMPISM

Democratic sweeps in other key races, exposes the fragility of Trump's grip. It's a national referendum on the man's corrosive legacy. Voters in the nation's largest city, a microcosm of America's diversity, rejected Trump's exclusionary toolkit with visceral force. Mamdani turned the race into a personal battleground of identities, where heritage became both shield and sword. However, this very emphasis on leftist ideals could exacerbate national divisions. Mamdani's policies threaten to weaken the fight against illegal immigration and balloon expenditures on social measures, potentially straining the city's and the country's resources at a time when prudence is paramount.
