Since Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit and Commerce Minister Anand Sharma failed to make it, the white paper on the hotel industry was released by Amitabh Kant, the CEO and MD of the Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor Development Corporation (DMICDC). While addressing the audience, Kant decided to explain his presence with an Einstein story. After Albert Einstein was given the Nobel Prize, Kant said, he was invited to deliver several speeches. Once, after he’d delivered around 30 such addresses, Einstein’s driver asked if he could deliver the next one, considering he’d heard the speech so many times he’d memorised it by now. Einstein agreed, and the driver delivered the speech. Things went off without a hitch, till a student asked a question for which the driver didn’t have an answer. He was, however, quick-witted enough to say, the question was so simple, even his driver could answer that. The “driver”, Einstein, then stood up and answered the question. Taking the story a step further, Kant likened himself to the driver (he was basically standing in for Dikshit) and, since he had no “driver” in the audience, he ended by saying “no queries please!”
