Didi to PM: Debt do us apart

NEW DELHI/KOLKATA: In a shocking development last week, the diminutive cartoon-loving chief minister of West Bengal announced a divorce from Manmohan Singh citing irreconcilable differences. Sources said there was much dancing in the Union Cabinet after the announcement and the finance minister may have even twirled his lungi.

In Kolkata, Mamata appeared tightlipped — a remarkable achievement — over the developments. When pressed on the matter, she just said, "It eej a rollbhack." She then ended the press conference by calling all journalists Maoists.

Senior officials close to the chief minister told this paper on condition of anonymity — and large sums of money — that the CM was 'fed up' with Manmohan's infidelity and silent nature.

"Enough is enough. The PM's new adulterous affair with this foreign woman, FDI, was the last straw. And though she couldn't pronounce the word 'talaq' due to an aggressive Bengali accent, she made it clear the two couldn't continue this relationship anymore," a source said.

An official of the Union Cabinet said Manmohan was thrilled with the decision. "One can only be henpecked to one person at a time and our PM's favourite food is Italy-Dosa (another word for pizza)," he said.

Didi, who is affectionately known as Mamataliban in New Delhi circles, is said to be preparing an offensive against Ms FDI coming to India. Unfortunately, she can't brand her Maoist.

Meanwhile, the fiery leader has allegedly deputed someone alleged to be her nephew to allegedly slap anyone who looks like doing his job. Apparently, this leads to increased efficiency levels.

She has also announced a crackdown on the evil practice of cartooning in the state. "They should know bhear to draw the line," she was heard saying. It seems that cartoons can lead to other social evils like chuckling or laughing and Didi is not going to stand for such witchcraft encouraged by the previous "gobharment".

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has refused to comment on the development. Till he gets permission of course.
