What kind of politician I need to represent me

In the recent general elections we saw a plethora of politicians and almost same number of political ideas. But no one ever thought or atleast shared what kind of person he would like as his MP. I thought a lot and imagined an ideal politician. Ofcourse it was my foolishness because in India you can get an ideal girl/boy but not an ideal politician. So what are the characteristics of my ideal politician:

1) He may be from any religion but he acknowledges and respects all the religions. India, what today is, is a combination of many cultures and religions. Thats why India is so different from all other countries. We Indians know what is right and what is wrong. We believe on the voice which comes from our heart. So any religion in India is not the pure form of it but it has the combination of all or some of the good things from different religions. So my leader may follow any religion but has to respect all.

2) He has to be simple and down-to-earth. He has to be a representative of the simple people who constitute our society. He can wear nething or eat nething as per his liking, because India gives the right to all its citizens to do it. But I would like my leader not to show off with kurta n pyjama or a casual jeans n t-shirt. I prefer him with a formal shirt and formal pant. He may eat nething but it should be what others too have. He should not have meals in 5-star or an unhygienic dhaba. His food habits show people that what u r is what u eat. Aise Maa ka khana is d best.

3) His voice should constitute confidence and love in people. His words should win hearts and not break hearts. Our Indian scriptures and culture has always given very high importance to speech and words. He should also. Each of his word should come from the depth of his ethics and belief. He should preferably always speak true but can change to benefit his people. He should not show-off like cry or weep. His words should be enough to win hearts.

4) He should be sensitive to others problems. He should not be diplomatic. If a problem arrives then he should forward it to the right person and try to solve it within a particular time. If he thinks that he wont be able to do it then he should tell that he may try but the problem may not be solved by him or even an outright negative reply.

5) His house should be open to all and he should also visit all the places in his constituency. He should try to take care of all as his own. His way of working should be very strict but his words and presence should be soothing. Although his words will be sweet but his better part will be his work. He should not be a person who talks more but function/works more.

6) His best part, besides his presence and way of working, should be his intelligence and reasoning. Intelligence and strategy will be the pillar on which he will stand. He should have the ability to foresee what his opponents will do and how the nature and people will react to a policy or change.

7) He should have a high education background. He must have passed atleast graduation from a good institution. I would also like the Election Commission to keep a written test for our netas. It should at par (in terms of toughness) with CAT, IIT-JEE or IAS-UPSC. He should have excelled in this test with good marks.

These are some of the characteristics I expect from my MP. U may say that I am imagining an ideal person and leader like Lord Rama or Krishna. But in today's time we need persons with above characteristics to be our leader. Our MPs should be the best of us not the worst of us.
