BJP State executive member K.K. Surendran said here on Friday (February 21) that the pay increase for State Public Service Commission (PSC) members was the government’s quid pro quo for the crony and nepotistic appointments given to CPI(M) members.
Mr. Surendran said the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC), which functions for 140 crore people, had only 11 members, but the Kerala PSC had 21. “Why so many members for the KPSC, that too with higher salary than that of UPSC members?” he asked.
