Who will bear the cost

The recent issue of Times Of India published some articles which shows the money wasted by our politician. Very often the speaker has to suspend the session without any work being done. This has resulted into a huge loss to the Indian treasury. The cost of running a session in the parliaments runs into lakhs of rupees per hour. But our leaders have never bothered about this.
Another article of this paper revealed that the speaker of Delhi Assembly has spent an amount of nearly eighty lakhs on the renovation of his official residence. And who can forget the uproar caused by Trinamool Congress in Kolkata assembly against Singur incidence. They destroyed precious furniture without ever thinking about their importance and the burden it would lay on the treasury. Now the question arises who would bear these losses ? The unanimous answer that comes out is we the tax payers. But for how long would the taxpayers be punished for the mistakes done by their leaders. Perhaps forever because in this case the Law makers are the Law breakers.
