After finishing my office, walking down back to flat I noticed empty main road without any roadside vendors who used to sell their goodies daily instead there were cops all over monitoring traffic. I heard from one of cop that Shri. Narendra Modi, Chief Minister of Gujarat was visiting city.
Later to get my dinner packed went on the same main road and found security even tighter, road blockages at many places, cops not letting park anyone on streets. Somehow I reached hotel and ordered dinner, by the time I got my dinner packed I enjoyed view and wondered why they need such a high security, even not letting roadside vegetable vendors to sell at their peak hours who hardly make money for a day. View had became very much similar to curfew situation not a single person on the road except cops that reminded me curfew which I had witnessed in the Bhandara when I was kid.
Meanwhile I got my dinner packed, paid the bill but I had to wait till CM crosses so I was waiting and watching, after every five minutes patrolling car was passing to check if everything is alright, police shouting on people trying to cross road, At some time all cops got even more alert and moment later cars passed one by one in the typical pattern like zoooom zooomm... I realised thats the Power.. Power of the Power. Thousands of cops are deployed for your security, people are gathered just to have a view of you. You are no less than top celebrity. Being such an important person with a responsibility of ruling state, this Z security is crucial. That's the power everyone would like to possess someday.
When all cars passed, cops allowed common public to commute I concluded my thoughts with For such high profile person caused little inconvenience to common people is justified.
You rightly said..power comes with an equal or may be more responsibility...Whether every powerful politician is responsible in his action or not remains a question..
