Bodyguards of different politicians idle around as their bosses attend proceedings in the Andhra Pradesh assembly in Hyderabad

The lives of politicians and important personalities are unthinkable today without the SPG protection, Z+ security systems. Gun toting bodyguards are always seen cocooning these big shots, even if there's a huge debate raging on the humongous chunk of taxpayers' money that goes into providing these near-impenetrable security walls, often marginalising the much-needed security for the ordinary citizens.

However, providing security is a difficult task. It involves round-the-clock protection, annihilation of the minutest threat perception, among scores of other things. But there are times when even these heavily-guarded politicians have to be left alone, like when they attend the assembly sessions.

Rediff.com presents some interesting photographs of bodyguards idling around as their bosses attend the Andhra Pradesh legislative assembly.
