Humour : Corrupt Indian Bureaucrat building Taj Mahal for wife

New Delhi : Mr Ghotala Prasad, an IAS officer in the Ministry of Urban & Rural Development has started construction on building a replica of the “Taj Mahal” to pacify his wife, who is reportedly unhappy of the fact that Mr Ghotala is not spending the bribes and commissions that he has accumulated over his tenure as a bureaucrat in the Indian Government. Sources close to Mrs Ghotala have claimed that she was quite upset that she had to face a lot of problems negotiating the amount of bribe to be given to the  Income Tax officials who used to regularly drop in to conduct an Income Tax raid at her house.

Due to these issues, she had often threatened to force Mr Ghotala to drink  karele ka Juice  and only cook dishes that involve  “Karela”, this being the vegetable which she knows Mr Ghotala hates to the core. Apart from that she has also threatened to invite her mother to come and live with her, which she knows would rile up Mr Ghotala.

    Mr Ghotala had initially thought about showering his wife with expensive jewellery but then decided to go ahead and build a full scale replica of the Taj Mahal to ensure that she does not invite his mother in law to come and live with him. On enquiring on the costs involved to replicate the Taj Mahal he replied that it was a small price to pay and would just cost him a fraction of his assets in the numerous bank accounts in the various tax havens around the world, and he would be able to recover the money with the commissions from the various contractors who are bidding for some of the infrastructural projects which have been stalled by his ministry.
