BJP goes hammer and tongs on Arindam Chaudhuri’s ‘alternative budget 2012’

Nutty professor Arindam Chaudhuri who is often ignored by almost everyone on the planet was shocked and surprised when his ‘alternative budget’ was attacked vigorously by India’s main opposition party – the BJP.

“This budget is meant to increase the burden of the common man who is already burdened by various burdens. This budget does not address the concerns of common citizens who are affected by price rise and so we denounce it. How can a budget that does not reflect the woes of the common man be passed? We demand an immediate roleback and an apology,” said senior BJP leader Arun Jaitely before trooping out of his house (thinking he was staging a walkout). As soon as he realised that he was walking out of his own house, he immediately came back; but held on to his stand that the budget should be rolled back.

A shocked Arindam Chaudhuri immediately rushed to meet top BJP leaders none of whom wanted to meet the pony tailed delinquent. But he was told later that the BJP was doing a dress rehearsal for attacking the UPA budget and the attack on Arindam Chaudhuri’s budget was part of this exercise.

But the nasty surprise didn’t end there as Chaudhuri received a memo from TMC leader Mamata Banerjee who asked him to report to TMC HQ at the earliest with his resignation letter (no formal explanation was given for this move by the TMC chief though). When contacted TMC’s chief quizmaster Derek ‘Ow’ Brian sounding like a true turncoat politician said “This budget is against the common man and no form of hike can be justified in any manner and the man has to go”. When reminded that the budget was not the real one and was a fake one presented by Arindam Chaudhuri, Brian said ‘Ow’ and ran away saying he had an appointment with his barber.
