Maharashtra Government's decision of downgrading legendry thespian Amitabh Bachchan's security cover has kicked up a major controversy. No points for guessing who is behind this political furore, none other than the Samajwadi Party leader Mr.Amar Singh.

I have never seen a politician as naive as Mr Amar Singh. He has often been nicknamed, and rightly so, the "Tail of Amitabh Bachchan". He never misses an opportunity of basking in his limelight and flaring up controversies as and when he is given an opportunity. He has done so in the past, when Amitabh was made to sit in the 14th row instead of his "well-deserved" front row seat at a major award ceremony. Now, when his security cover has been just down-graded to level X, dozens of Samajwadi Party have taken to streets in Allahabad and are burning effigies of Sonia Gandhi.....because according to them, it is all a BIG CONSPIRACY hatched by the CONGRESS....Yeah Right!!

Why does a rich person like Amitabh Bachchan who is capable of paying for his own security expenses needs a Z-level cover in the first place? A Z-level cover includes four gaurds, trained in Martial Arts, armed with carbines and bullet-proof vehicles at all times. Maharashtra Government spends 2.5 crore of tax-payer's money on providing such escort services to these "Celebrities". Even the family members of some VIP's are made to avail of such facilities!! Don't you think, that for a state, already reeling under a debt of of 1.1 Lakh Crores, a saving of 2.5 crores per-annum will surely be noteworthy?

As far as Mr.Amar Singh is concerned, here's a little "NEWS" for you Sir, It is not Amitabh Bachchan who travels by a Local train or a Bus. It is the common man who does. And it is not an imported Limousine or a S-Class Merc of a celebrity that is bombed, it is this very same Local Train or the Bus. So, Who is in need of an ACTUAL Security cover here? Its neither Amitabh, nor you Mr Amar Singh, but it is the COMMON MAN!!
