Sale of "I am not Anna" caps to help Indian economy overtake China


In a dramatic turn of events, the recent charges of inflating travel bills against Kiran Bedi have led to a sharp spike in sales of “I am not Anna” caps.

“Well, my Facebook profile has not been very happening for a while now and I really need more likes for my photos,” said an ex-Anna Hazare supporter who did not wish to be identified.

“We followed the news closely after the Anna Hazare protests and placed the first order for ‘I am not Anna’ caps when Prashant Bhushan said something controversial about Kashmir. After that, things just kept getting better with Arvind Kejriwal being attacked in Lucknow and fined by the IRS for violating terms of employment,” said a Palika Bazaar shopkeeper.

“We had some excess stock of ‘I am Anna’ caps so we just added ‘not’ to get rid of what was left,” said a shopkeeper in Sarojini Nagar.

Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee applauded the trend and said it will help put the economy back on the path to high growth after the sharp dip in consumption caused by the Jan Lokpal hunger strike.
