Mysuru: Member of Parliament Pratap Simha flashed his salary slip to take on his detractors on Twitter, who had launched a massive campaign against the parliamentarian on social media over telephone bills misuse.
In the Twitter campaign, trollers had charged MPs of availing telephone allowance to the extent of Rs 15,000 per month during times when a Jio SIM is available for Rs 399 with unlimited data and free calls.
