Why are our politicians treated like gods

We keep on hearing that nothing is being done for rural people. Government keeps on rolling out new policies and programs without actually implementing them to the perfection. In the whole process, one or the other politician takes away all the money and we get news about a new scam.

Everyone says 'politicians are people's servants chosen by the masses' . But my mind gets boggled by the fact that their lives are considered to be so precious while common people keep on dying everyday in a huge number.

I would like to bring one fact forward here. All these politicians, be it a VVIP figure like Mr Narendra Modi or a not-so-known MP, get a fleet of personal security guards. When they travel, they have atleast 5 police jeeps following them and many state owned ambulance waiting at every district border. If each one of them decides to reduce his fleet by one police jeep, the money saved would at least be enough to feed a couple of starving villages. It will also free up a lot of police force, which can then be used to make places like Delhi secure for women. Are their lives so much more important than hundreds of starving villager's and even more important than our sister's , mother's , wife's ??


Many such steps would actually reduce the need of extravagant programs being rolled out by the govt., which in return would reduce the number of scams taking place.

Are they so important to us that we are endangering the lives of so many people just to protect these cons who in turn steal hundreds of crore in a single scam.?

It is a sad picture and worse is the fact that nobody raises a voice against it. :(
