The odd part
If a budget is debated in an empty assembly, does the money still disappear?
What happened
Senior bureaucrats in Maharashtra have been issued a 'last chance' warning after achieving a perfect attendance record of zero during critical state budget debates. While the Speaker of the House, Rahul Narwekar, expressed confusion over the empty gallery, insiders suggest the officials have reached a higher state of administrative consciousness where 'work' happens in a dimension inaccessible to elected representatives. This innovative 'Involuntary Work-from-Home' model ensures that the budget remains blissfully unburdened by technical feasibility or expert implementation details.
