Hectic electioneering in the Bihar Assembly polls had made the Railway Minister, Lalu Prasad, so tired that today he had great difficulty in delivering his budget speech.
``I am exhausted and feel almost choked. I don't know how I completed the budget speech,'' a visibly tired Mr. Prasad told reporters after his one hour forty-five minute-long speech.
However, when it was pointed out that he was not looking his bubbly self, Mr. Prasad retorted in his characteristic style, To kya hanumanjee ki tarah uchchale? [Should I jump like Hanuman?
Earlier, when Mr. Prasad stood up to present the Budget, NDA members trooped out of the House. This prompted Mr. Prasad to remark: "The BJP and the NDA are in the habit of showing their back whenever I get up."
To this, the BJP members said: The Congress has shown you its back ... it has ditched you in the Assembly elections ... they will ditch you sitting right beside you... " — UNI, PTI
