"Our political leaders, including MLAs, seek votes from you with folded hands by saying that give us a chance to serve you," Mann said, adding "but you will be surprised to know that several MLAs who won thrice, four times or five times and then after losing the elections or after not getting tickets for contesting the polls, get lakhs of rupees in pension per month."
