00:00:23,775 --> 00:00:37,088
Barkha Dutt: No, that's because they wanted to keep it for themselves.
Niira Radia: No.. they wanted.. they didn't want any infrastructure- that was what Prime Minister said. So he said.. that's why they gave them labour, fertilizer chemical and Telecom IT they said for Raja.

00:00:37,088 --> 00:00:50,400
Niira Radia: So what has happened is, that message has not got relayed to Karunanidhi.

00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,448
Barkha Dutt: I think they have told Maran.

00:00:52,448 --> 00:01:05,760
Niira Radia: Yeah, now what they need to do is, they need to speak to Kani so she can set up the discussion with her father, because even the Prime Minister's discussion was ... she was the one who was translating, and it was a very brief discussion for two minutes.

00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:12,672
Barkha Dutt: Okay.

00:01:15,744 --> 00:01:22,144
Niira Radia: What she saying is that, you know, that someone senior like Ghulam [Nabi Azad, senior Congress leader]-because he is the one who is authorised to speak. ....

10
00:01:22,144 --> 00:01:28,543
Barkha Dutt: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Niira Radia: Right? Was to speak to her then she can tell her father that I have got this message from the Congress.

00:01:28,543 --> 00:01:34,431
Barkha Dutt: Theek hai, not a problem. That's not a problem, I'll talk to Azad-I'll talk to Azad right after I get out of RCR [Race Course Road, presumably, the PM's residence].

00:01:34,431 --> 00:01:37,503

Barkha Dutt: Okay.

00:01:37,503 --> 00:01:44,082
