00:00:13,279 --> 00:00:19,935
Radia: Hi, hi, I am sorry we have not been able to connect. How are you?
NKS: Hi. How are you?
Radia: I am very well.
2
00:00:19,935 --> 00:00:28,128
NKS: Hehehe. Lot of fun and games no?
Radia: Isn't it.. yes yes.. isn't it.. What does it look like? What do you think of the new cabinet?
3
00:00:28,128 --> 00:00:40,672
NKS: Okay, It's a bit of what in Hindi, I can't explain to you there's a particular proverb in Hindi, which says 'Shivji Ki Baraat'.
4
00:00:40,672 --> 00:01:07,040
NKS: Means (sic) the <i>baraat</i> (wedding procession) of Shivji consisted of many varieties and many species from scorpions, serpents to elephants to reindeer.. so this is a bit of a jumbo staff, which would have to be seen..
5
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:20,963
NKS: ...by and large conventional wisdom has prevailed in giving the key department to the old and trusted.
Radia: Yes...
NKS: Some surprise elements..
6
00:01:20,963 --> 00:01:25,984
NKS: ...a spectacular jump for Anand Sharma.
Radia: Yeah, what do you make of that?
7
00:01:25,984 --> 00:01:43,648
NKS: I am still puzzled. I am still puzzled because I knew he was close to 10, Janpath but in the meantime he had done a lot to cultivate PM, personally.
8
00:01:43,648 --> 00:02:07,700
NKS: PMO, hanging around Nayar's room.. PM.. and in the INB.. when he was given.. you know he was in touch with the PMO with the projection, which he believes has paid off in terms of a strategy. So this is.. I mean you know I still.. I don't think I have been able to say the last word on this.
9
00:02:07,700 --> 00:02:22,603
NKS: The other thing is, the spectacular decline of Kamal Nath.
Radia: Yes
NKS: That I explained .. and by the way to make matters worse for him, even shipping has been taken away.
Radia: Yeah Vasan's got that, yeah.
10
00:02:22,603 --> 00:02:30,239
NKS: Vasan's got that which means he just literally left. He lives on the road.
Radia: Yeah he is literally on the road.
11
00:02:30,239 --> 00:02:45,855
NKS: So.. well, you can always hide it by saying that highways are after all one black point of the government and they want to make up with it. But, I think there is much more than meets the eye.
12
00:02:45,855 --> 00:03:04,031
NKS: And I think that you know a lot of the stuff which you and I know was going on, somehow got noticed and reported and some way it is supposed to also give a signal.
13
00:03:04,031 --> 00:03:17,087
NKS: That perhaps it has been overdone.. I mean, whatever. And the fact that also Balu was kept out of the Roads.
14
00:03:17,087 --> 00:03:22,463
Radia: But that is more of Karunanidhi's decision because of all the pressure from his family.
15
00:03:22,463 --> 00:03:31,167
NKS: Ya, but on the other hand even if he would have come, he would not have gone back to the same charge of Roads.
Radia: Of course not..
16
00:03:31,167 --> 00:03:49,599
NKS: So I think in Kamal Nath's case it's clear indication that look, enough is enough. I don't think right now he needs another ATM. He has one going for many years. And there's enough for him. So that's the other thing.
17
00:03:49,599 --> 00:04:07,763
NKS: Jyothir Aditya has made it good, getting MoS. He didn't make it to an independent charge, but he has got pretty important thing in corner for the industry... with a young man, Anand Sharma to work with.
18
00:04:07,763 --> 00:04:18,783
NKS: And so.. good for Jyotir. I think it's an opportunity to do a lot, because it's a big charge. You know I have been in that ministry it's a big charge.
19
00:04:18,783 --> 00:04:26,285
NKS: If WTO gathers momentum.. though not this year because WTO doesn't only depend on us.. it depends on..
