Uttar Pradesh Governor Ram Naik gave his assent to the Uttar Pradesh State Legislature (Members' Emoluments and Pension) (Amendment) Bill, 2016 and Uttar Pradesh Ministers (Salaries, Allowances and Miscellaneous Provisions)(Amendment) Bill, 2016, and two other bills, a Raj Bhawan release said.
The two bills provide for allotting government accommodation to ex-chief ministers for lifetime and a steep hike in salaries and allowances of sitting MLAs.
The state government had brought the Uttar Pradesh Ministers (Salaries, Allowances and Miscellaneous Provisions)(Amendment) Bill, 2016 to legalise the stay of former chief ministers after the Supreme Court ordered all former chief ministers to vacate their government-allotted bungalows in Lucknow in August.
