What is it that 300 more MPs would achieve which the existing 4,131 MLAs in 28 states and 3 Union Territories and lakhs of office bearers in Panchayats and local self governance bodies can do? The correlation between better governance and number of representatives is not direct but inverse, even a blind dog can see it. BIMARU states with more public officials at various levels are worse off. From panchayats to local bodies to state assemblies to MPs, the fact is that we already have too much representation which does @ nothing of benefit to the common man. The problem with BJP is that having absorbed corrupt people from every other party it now finds itself unable to provide them lucrative positions of power and pelf where they can plunder public resources. Adding more MPs has nothing whatsoever to do with governance but everything to do with increasing corruption opportunities, influence peddling and stealing the aam aadmi's money.
