Every wedding season, there's always mayhem in every workplace over one thing — leaves.

But that's not the case if you happen to be a lawmaker from Andhra Pradesh.

Not only will you get desired leave, you can ensure that your office buddies don't miss out on all parties.

That's what happened when 100 lawmakers from the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly were granted mass leave to attend weddings.

Yes, bizarre it may sound, but it's very much true. According to an NDTV report, the MLAs from ruling Telugu Desam Party had written to Kodela Sivaprasad Rao, the Assembly Speaker to grant them leaves for two days.

To compensate the loss of work, the lawmakers said that they were ready to work for two extra days.

The Speaker has agreed to their demands even as the Assembly is still in session.

Among the highest paid lawmakers in the country, the Andhra MLAs will attend the weddings in coming days.

Last year, the Andhra Assembly had passed a bill to hike salaries of the legislators in March. According to the Bill, the monthly salary of each lawmaker has been enhanced from Rs 95,000 to Rs 1.25 lakh.

There are reports that over one lakh marriages will be solemnised across the state.
