On the day when Finance Minister P Chidambaram presented the Interim Budget for 2014 , Twitterati also expressed their views. Here’s a compilation of some of the whacky ones:
While the auto industry might hail the decision to reduce excise duty on small cars, scooters, chassis trailers, one tweeter with the handle Sum1t said: Congress mantra: Roti, Kapda aur SUV !! #budget2014. Another tweet by him said: Cars and SUVs to be cheaper...yeah buy SUVs to live in it coz home are beyond common man's reach!!#Budget2014
Omar Abdullah took to the social media web site and said: 2 min silence for all those guys who gave Mobile phone as Valentine's Day Gift to their Girl Friend after 3 days, it got cheaper #budget2014
Ankur Srivastava tweeted: Common man again affected by these #Congress policies in #budget2014. Car sasta aur khana mahanga .... #LootersOfIndia
Suhas Prabhu said: The #Congress should have Akon's 'Sorry, Blame it on me' as their campaign theme song. #budget2014
Another tweeter Aatef Bham said: If I had a rupee for every time Chidambaram said 'growth'. #budget2014
Priyanshu Srivastava mocked the budget speech saying: #budget2014 yet another lollypop with bharat nirmaan speech
With the recent Kejriwal fever that has gripped the Capital, a tweeter Dipankar said: So, no benefits for the professional agitators in the #budget2014 ? Arvind #Kejriwal should prepare for another dharna.
