RBI's Deputy Governor K C Chakrabarty stumps admirer with his witticism

A man from an audience that Reserve Bank of India’s witty and outspoken Deputy Governor K C Chakrabarty was addressing in Mumbai recently asked for his autograph. He would always treasure it, he told Chakrabarty, as the autograph of the future governor of RBI. To this Chakrabarty responded, “The governor’s office is not vacant, and I’m a middle class person. By saying this you will take away even my existing job.”
