All Assam MLAs pledge one month salary for flood relief except for Raijor Dal members
Legislators across various political parties in Assam have pledged one month's salary to support flood relief efforts. The Raijor Dal party was the only group that did not make a similar commitment.
Why it matters
This highlights a rare moment of political consensus in disaster response, while also noting political friction between the ruling coalition and opposition parties.

The Speaker Ranjeet Kumar Dass said he and Deputy Speaker Habbey Teron will donate one month's salary for flood relief.
"Besides us, all assembly secretariat staff will donate one day's salary for the relief and rehabilitation of the victims," he announced.
Welcoming the gesture, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pijush Hazarika said all BJP MLAs will also donate one month's salary.
The Trinamool Congress' lone MLA in the State, Sherman Ali Ahmed, followed suit and announced donating his one month's salary for the flood-affected areas.
Leader of the Opposition Wajed Ali Choudhury said the Congress has already provided flood relief in the past few days and the party MLAs will donate one month's salary for the cause.
