Why our leaders are to be protected at the cost of citizens

One reason cited for inadequate performance or non performance is the inadequate staff.This excuse was touted by desu officers since 1970 onward. We used to cite norms for staff on the basis of number of connections.
Now police is citing reasons of area,population explosion etc. A handful of foreigners came and subjugated us and governed us..over centuries. But the number did not matter. But alas they were not bhaane baaz as we are.
Now we have the advantage of technology,which our ancestors did not have.
Look at the level of police personell deployed to protect our netas..Does it have parallel in any part of the world.
My younger brother had been labour party councillor in London and even elected in recent elections.
I had the good fortune to study their social systems and how a common man is truley considered a bhagidar.
A councillor does not mean that he would be exempted from night shift duty of being a supervisor in metro.
No where you find police even around 10 downing street or near their parliament house.
In case shortage of staff is there, withdraw all the security from the politicians and let them live like a commoner, face chain snacther, or robbers and go to police station to lodge a police report or FIR and then see what happens.
We,the elected representatives of RWAS or societies must be trusted and schems like installation of CCTV CAMERAS must be allowed to be monitored by us. Let us atleast be allowed to know time frame for installation and monitoring of such security systems.
But in india, every body has to have police protection at the cost of exchequer.
