Radia: No... I had a long chat with Kani last night...<i> kuch kal raat ko toh kuch </i> discuss <i>nahi hua sirf </i>Maran <i>ne ek </i> separate meeting <i>kia tha...</i> Karunanidhi <i>ke saath, ke humlog ko abhi</i> settle <i>kar dena chahiye.</i>(We didn't discuss much last night except that Maran had a separate meeting with Karunanidhi to settle everything.)

00:00:28,384 --> 00:00:41,440
Radia: We shouldn't prolong it 'coz we are getting a bad name without realizing <i> ki usne khud hi toh</i> bad name <i>dia hai</i> (that he's given us the bad name himself).But I got feedback from Congress about 11'o clock last night which I gave Kani. I sent you an SMS also... I don't know whether you've got it because basically....
Radia: What they're saying is we are not going to contact them initially they said they will contact Kani but they said they will have an internal discussion.
5
00:00:49,631 --> 00:01:02,176
Radia: But they said they are not going to contact them we don't think the problem is ours... the problem is not between Congress and DMK, the problem is between DMK itself and therefore the family has to decide what they want and what they don't want -
6
00:01:02,176 --> 00:01:12,416
Radia: - They made a laughing stock of the UPA as it is already and therefore the Prime Minister is quite cheesed off about the fact that you know...this is sort of...they made a quite a, um...fool of everyone.
7
00:01:12,416 --> 00:01:24,959
Radia: The thing is that they gave a list of 5 MP's which was I mean... which was... 5 ministries and that was absurd they knew they were never gonna give them that and they were already aware of the sort of formulas that we were discussing.
8
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:36,223
Radia: So to say they were expecting much more than they had previously was a bit unfair on their part and just because they want more that doesn't mean... just so that they have to accommodate family members that doesn't mean we have to give them more ministry.
9
00:01:36,223 --> 00:01:51,583
Radia: In the sense, we are not going to contact them because we don't think the problem lies with us the problem lies with them internally and they have to resolve it and come back. We have a great amount of respect for Karunanidhi but we don't feel that their approach has been quite honourable.
Radia: <i>Woh karke unka ek</i> message, Ahmed Patel <i>ka</i> message aur</i> (there was a message from Amit Patel) I've given to Kani.
Shankkar: Hmm.
Radia: I said if you're expecting anyone to contact then separately - indicated that Ghulam Nabi Azad told... his leadership... all of them... you know the... they had that meeting at 7 RCR.
Radia: That... this guy... Maran had been calling him on the half hour demanding X portfolios for himself which he then told him look I'm sorry but we have told your leader what we can give, please ask him to nominate somebody who can negotiate with us and they be preferable from somebody who's not out of the 5 that are the contenders.
Radia: <i> Ye uske paas</i> message <i>diya</i> (This message was given to him)...
14
00:02:48,671 --> 00:03:03,519
Radia: <i> Aur</i> (and) separately <i> kya hua ki Sunil Mittal se meri baat hui kal usne toh </i>( when I spoke to Sunil Mittal last night)... anyway now that he is recognised they are not going to get more then Chemical, Fertilizers, Telecom and... Labour and the other MOS ministry... right?
Radia: So, what they are now saying is that we will now want... what Maran is now doing is... is going around telling everybody that Prime Minister doesn't want to give infrastructure to Baalu and Raja. So that he ends up getting Telecom and IT.
Radia: So...whether it is... then Times Now confirmed to DMK yesterday... somebody from DMK had called Times Now in Chennai - where was this information that was coming that Dayanidhi Maran to get Telecom. they then confirmed it came from Sun News.
Radia: So...<i> woh sab chal raha hai, toh phir Amma ne kal raat ko aur aaj subah...</i>Chief Minister <i>ko samjhaya hai ki yeh</i> Congress <i>ka</i> message <i>hai,</i> Kani <i>ko maine kal bola na ke</i> (While all this was going on Amma explained to the Chief Minister that this is a message from Congress and I told Kani last NIght that) you have to tell your father this...
18
00:03:46,527 --> 00:03:58,815
Radia: She was a bit hesitant in telling her father this but you cannot ignore it... you have to tell her.
Radia: Basically<i> dekho</i> (see) Azhagiri <i>ne</i> already<i> keh diya ki</i> (have said) I do not want Maran. Stalin I believe yesterday has indicated the same thing... now.
Radia: Or we are going to polls in... I think they are going to what Panchayat polls or whatever <i>koi cheez honewale hai </i> (something is going to happen).<i> Jo bhi </i> local polls <i>hote hai </i> (whichever local polls take place)...they need Azhagiri for that,they cannot afford to upset that.
Radia: <i>Haan</i> (Yeah)... so they are also saying that you can give him sensible MOS below him... and... Maran has gone on telling everybody that he doesn't speak English and that he's studied only upto five - 5th standard or something.
Radia: <i>Nahi. Usne toh already bata dia na... indication toh already de dia tha... do din pehle hi usne bol dia tha</i> (No... she already told... she had already given him an indication and told him two days back) that I don't want this man.
25
00:05:06,656 --> 00:05:20,223
Radia: <i> Kyunki</i> (because) he realised that...what he was doing...the thing is that we have to see now... Selvi <i> lagi huyi hai thodi si apne</i> father <i>ke peeche</i> (she is trying to persuade her father) but one good thing is that Karunanidhi has done is gone and stayed at Kani's house.
26
00:05:20,223 --> 00:05:26,880
Radia: Coz I think he realised that he didn't want the pressure.
Radia: She's always been close to him... <i>uske</i> husband <i>ka</i> relationship <i>hai inke saath kaafi </i> business <i>main kaafi</i> interest <i>hai.</i> (They share many business interests and her husband shares a good relation with him).
Radia: Maybe... maybe... <i> ha inke</i>...that's why... <i>inke</i> first cousins <i>ke bich mein shaadi hui thi </i> (they got married among their first cousins)...<i> haan, haan,</i> that's right...<i>haan</i>. So Maran is using his whole this thing to its fullest and...you know he's also telling everyone that Prime Minister wants only him.
32
00:06:34,463 --> 00:06:59,552
Radia: <i> Toh kal isne</i> separate time <i>manga </i> Karunanidhi <i>se</i> (He asked Karunanidhi for some separate time) which he got but then uh, Kani's mother didn't leave the room. She insisted on sitting there and she sat there and heard everything, which was basically he couldn't talk then much no? He simply said, "don't delay this, let us settle this matter as soon as possible" type of thing. When he was the one who tried to delay it in the first place.
Radia: Karunanidhi... Karunanidhi just heard it didnt say anything. I think he's recognised also <i>ki yeh nahi hota toh mujhe yeh</i> tension <i> hi nahi hota</i> (If he wasn't around, Karunanidhi wouldn't have anymore tension).
Radia: <i>Ab kitna yeh karega aaj pata nahi, isko aaj bhi koi</i> meeting set <i>toh nahi hai.</i> (Who knows what he will do today as such he has no fixed meeting today).
35
00:07:19,264 --> 00:07:25,407
Radia: <i>Aise toh nahi hai ki koi/</i> meeting <i>hai aur jo kal</i> media <i>keh raha tha ki </i>meeting <i>hui hai woh</i> meeting <i>nahi hai woh sab usko milne aaye the,</i> leaders (There is no such meeting and as the media was saying that there was a meeting yesterday they had just come to meet him, the leaders).
Shankkar:<i> Nahi,</i> meeting <i>me hona kya hai woh toh</i> family decide <i>karegi kisko kya karna hai, baaki toh</i> settle <i>hi hai. </i> (No, what is there to be done in a meeting the family has to decide who will do what the rest is settled).
Shankkar: He said <i> ki </i> (that) nothing has been finalised. I'll go tommorow and let us talk after that... but he's quite hopeful... <i> ki </i> (that) solution will be there.
Radia: <i> Ha toh yeh </i> Karunanidhi ne galat kar diya, woh </i> unthought of list <i>bhij va di na jo</i> (Karunanidhi made a mistake by sending an unthought of list)
Radia: Then I had to go back and tell Congress that was not the case, that list was just something that was sent, they were expecting you to come back and check which you could not expect... you didn't do it, you did it very abruptly.
Radia: <i> Ha aur</i> (yeah and ) separately <i>maine suna</i> Jayalalitha <i>ne</i> phone <i>kia ki</i> I don't want any ministry or anything you dismiss the government the Centre and i'll just support you.
Shankkar: <i> Chalo </i> (Okay) let us see... Let me know if anything confirmed or sort out (i)ho jata hai </i> (if it gets sorted out)... <i>toh mujhe bata dena</i> (let me know).
