Ye Dil Maange More

So the honourable parliamentarians have decided that they need an upgrading of their status! They want the divinity to be fully crowned on them so that they are set apart from the ordinary mortals. And why not? The raise they gave themselves on their salary and perks is not enough to proclaim their divinity. They need more. Ye dil maange more. They are not the ones to buy the theory that they are not the masters. Anna might shout from the roof top that the people who sent them to the parliament are the real masters. Officially they might only be representatives of people. De Jure does not count for much. It is De Facto that is the real thing. Representation of the People Act needs to be re-christened as Masters of the People Act. The present act belittles them, shows them in poor light. How can they who have all the makings and ingredients of feudal lords be condemned as mere representatives of people! Did it not mean they merely held attorney powers of people who could withdraw it at their will? This was not acceptable to these honourable members of parliament. What if they are only playing up their presence in the parliament? An attorney power holder is never superior to the attorney power giver. And they want to remain superior to the rank and file of the country. So, they must raise their status. And since it is all in their own hands, they do not have to seek any permission from anywhere.
