Cutting politicians down to size

Vir Sanghvi has once again given expression to the anguish of the middle class over extravagant politicians. One way to "socialise" politicians is to build a single multistory apartment complex of 543 flats where every single MP will live in the same kind of flat. There will be no more fighting over bungalows and no need for renovations. It will markedly reduce security needs by confining to one place, instead of spreading thousands of policemen in bangalows all over Delhi. A bulk of the security policemen will be released to provide protection to the common man also. Special armoured bulletproof buses with the best security can provide transport from this apartment complex to parliament every hour - eliminating hundreds of cavalcades holding up traffic. It will also cut the bloated ego of our politicians down to size.
