UPDATE
WARREN BUFFET HIRES SONIA GANDHI'S SON-IN-LAW
In news
that has relieved lovers of money everywhere, legendary investment
guru
Warren Buffet has announced that the search for his successor is
finally
over. New Delhi-based entrepreneur Robert Vadra, son-in-law of
Indian Supremo
Sonia Gandhi, will soon be taking over as head of
Berkshire
Hathaway.
"Despite an extremely rigorous gym schedule, this
extraordinary young man
has become a billionaire in just four years," said
the Sage of Omaha. "Not
only did he convince real estate giant DLF to give
him an entire suburb of
Delhi at throwaway prices, he also got them to lend
him the money, interest
free. My sources inform me that he is also acquiring
two or three other
Indian states, but he's too modest to talk about these
things."
Members of Sonia Gandhi's domestic staff have welcomed the
move.
"I kiss his boots on a regular basis," said Law Minister Salman
Khurshid,
"It's amazing how smooth he keeps the leather."
"He's
extremely dynamic," said baggage-handler Manish Tewari. "When I carry
his
bags at the airport, I can barely keep up. And it's not just because
he
doesn't have to go through security."
DLF has rubbished allegations
of corruption, and maintains that all dealings
have been completely
transparent.
"We did everything very openly," said a spokesperson for
DLF. "There is no
question of favouritism. We are committed to providing the
same benefits to
anyone who marries Priyanka Gandhi."
Others have also
earmarked Vadra for international glory.
"Let me just get through this
election," said US President Barack Obama. "If
I win, I'm going to use this
man's help to revive the US economy."
