The smartest of ministers sometimes lose their way. It happened with Science and Technology Minister Kapil Sibal on Gandhi Jayanti, when he could not make it on time for a function in Chandni Chowk. Sibal was the chief guest at the function where Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit was to launch 8216;solekshaw8217;, a solar-electric rickshaw for eco-friendly urban transport, developed by CSIR. Dikshit, who had kept just a 20-25 minute window for the programme, had to do the honours in Sibal8217;s absence. Sibal arrived just when Dikshit was making an exit. It later emerged that Sibal was not properly briefed about the venue and lost his way in his own parliamentary constituency.
