the first suggestion is doable. and may be it should be. atleast it gives a chance for young blood and fresh ideas.
now the point about police commisioner is ridiculous. the commmisioner should have a qualification, and even now qualified people are made PC atleast on paper.
unfortunately the only unqualified people who have power in their hand are the politicians themselves. be it rabdi devi or mayavati ( there are many more men to just that i got these names too... and karunanidhi too a sly fox)....
