2
00:00:12,512 --> 00:00:15,328
Chandolia: Hello.
Niira Radia: <i>Haan</i>, you met him?

3
00:00:15,328 --> 00:00:26,591
Chandolia: <i>Haan,</i> I met him. <i>So woh keh rahaa hai ki aisaa kuch hone waalaa hai nahin.</i> (He says nothing of the kind is going to happen) As far as he understands...they will keep some portfolios... with the PM

4
00:00:26,591 --> 00:00:38,112
Niira Radia: They have kept IT, Labour and.... And.. this one. IT, Telecom, Labour and Chemicals & Fertilizers.
Chandolia: <i>Haan</i>, Chemicals & Fertilizers...Maybe Steel also, they will keep themselves.

5
00:00:38,112 --> 00:00:42,976
Niira Radia: Steel. No. No. They have not kept Steel.
Chandolia: Ok...ok...(inaudible)

6
00:00:42,976 --> 00:00:56,288
Niira Radia: According to my Congress source Steel is not there. Chemical-Fertilizer, IT, Telecom, and... and Labour.
Chandolia: Labour. Ok, ok, ok... <i>chalo theek hai</i>...

7
00:00:56,288 --> 00:01:02,176
Niira Radia: (interjecting) No, the thing I want to ask you is he in the house or where is he?
Chandolia: No, he is in the house only.

8
00:01:02,176 --> 00:01:11,391
Niira Radia: How come Baalu left?
Chandolia: <i>Arre</i>... Because PM said that I don't want to give him Infrastructure.
Niira Radia: The PM said.

9
00:01:11,391 --> 00:01:14,464
Chandolia: The minister hasn't told me, but somebody else told me.
Niira Radia: What?

10
00:01:14,464 --> 00:01:33,919
Chandolia: ... some people here only told me, they okayed the names for ministers - <i>jaise</i> (like) Telecom and for, IT, and then they said to Maran and T.R.Baalu no for Infrastructure portfolio.

11
00:01:33,919 --> 00:01:36,479
Niira Radia: So, Chemical Fertilizer is so important.

12
00:01:36,479 --> 00:01:54,655
Chandolia: But that is not Infrastructure development, <i>na</i>...Infrastructure <i>ke andar jaise </i> (Inside Infrastructure it's like) - which depends on development further... Chemical Fertilizer industry related issues - private sector and all these things. So it doesn't have too much of a difference.

13
00:01:54,655 --> 00:02:03,616
Chandolia: They don't want to give that. Baalu took it, 'How can they do like this to me' (sic)...
Niira Radia: Hmmmm.

14
00:02:03,616 --> 00:02:06,431
Chandolia: That's why they are keeping Labour.
Niira Radia: Hmmmm.

15
00:02:06,431 --> 00:02:09,759
Chandolia: (laughs)
Niira Radia: Hmmm... so they are giving the Labour to him?

16
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:13,855
Chandolia: He was not keen on Maran on..
Niira Radia: Who was not keen on Maran?

17
00:02:13,855 --> 00:02:19,743
Chandolia: PM..
Niira Radia: PM, <i>na</i>? I know that. Media is unnecessarily creating nonsense.

18
00:02:19,743 --> 00:02:26,143
Niira Radia: The problem is, but the problem is that the Congress is not communicating this to DMK directly. They need to communicate this.

19
00:02:26,143 --> 00:02:32,031
Chandolia: They have communicated. Yesterday night.
Niira Radia: They have communicated?
Chandolia: They have communicated yesterday.

20
00:02:32,031 --> 00:02:38,944
Niira Radia: Saying what?
Chandolia: Saying that this is ok and... and...
Niira Radia: (prompts) And?

21
00:02:38,944 --> 00:02:46,080
Chandolia: (noise still in background) That Telecom is ok. Hmmm. Ha... But we cannot give more, other Infrastructure titles because we don't want to give it to Baalu and Maran.

22
00:02:50,207 --> 00:02:55,839
Niira Radia: Uh huh.
Chandolia: So there is a deadlock situation on that.

23
00:02:55,839 --> 00:03:07,119
Niira Radia: No. Now the question is that they have to say no to Maran and Baalu, right? And give Azhagiri, Kani & Raja
Chandolia: They don't want to give them cabinet berths being a new face.

24
00:03:09,151 --> 00:03:11,711
Niira Radia: Who. Congress?
Chandolia: Congress.

25
00:03:11,711 --> 00:03:18,879
Niira Radia: No. no. They are giving Azhagiri Cabinet, they said it is left up to the Leader to decide that.
Chandolia: No, but they are only giving 3 <i>na</i> in that case.

26
00:03:18,879 --> 00:03:25,535
Niira Radia: <i>Haan. Toh</i> Maran <i>ko</i> drop <i>karnaa padega, na usko.. </i> (Yeah so he will have to drop Maran right?)
Chandolia: <i>Wahi</i> problem <i>hai naa saare ke saarii.</i> (That's the whole problem!) Maran seems to have been offered MoS also.

27
00:03:25,535 --> 00:03:28,095
Niira Radia: MoS <i>toh di, par usne manaa kar diyaa.</i> (They gave him MoS but he refused)

28
00:03:28,095 --> 00:03:39,103
Chandolia: <i>Haan</i>. Let us see.. <i>Abhi toh</i> (Now) actually I couldn't speak to boss in detail, because so many people were inside, in the residence, MLA's and all these who were camping(?).

29
00:03:39,103 --> 00:03:43,711
Chandolia: He had gone in,<i> kehtaa hai ki baad me kuchh sulah ke baat karta hoon</i> (He said he will take advice and then speak)
Niira Radia: Hmmm...

30
00:03:43,711 --> 00:03:45,248
Chandolia: <i>Theek hai</i> (Alright) and once I get some more...

31
00:03:45,248 --> 00:03:57,023
Niira Radia: Kani told me that the Congress has not told us clearly. They've not spelled out what they want. What they are telling us, they are telling through the media. They should meet my father and tell him directly. So it is contrary to what your minister is saying.

32
00:03:57,023 --> 00:04:03,167
Chandolia: Ok... I got this , yesterday late evening
Niira Radia: No she told me just now...

33
00:04:03,167 --> 00:04:07,776
Chandolia: (overlapping conversation) <i>Toh theek hai, mein pata karvaataa hoon</i> (Okay, I'll find out then).
Niira Radia: <i>Haan</i>, because I just relayed that message to Congress

34
00:04:07,776 --> 00:04:11,600
Chandolia: <i>Haan. Haan.</i>
Niira Radia: If they don't want Maran...
