Cecilia: Okay..
Radia: Congress has to agree to give her independent charge. She doesn't want MoS. That is she has to work under people. Independent charge gives her same level.
11

9
00:00:58,848 --> 00:01:14,464
Niira: No. He is not, he is not. I know, no. But the Congress is under the impression. They have already apparently indicated to Maran that the Prime Minister will not give infrastructure berth to DMK, which, but he himself is desperately pushing for an infrastructure berth for himself.
10
00:01:14,464 --> 00:01:21,375
Vir Sanghvi: Right.

11
00:01:21,375 --> 00:01:29,055

Niira: Which saves Baalu, Raja and Maran Cabinet posts independent to Azhagiri and MoS to Kanni. 
Vir Sanghvi: Okay.
13
00:01:36,479 --> 00:01:44,416
Niira: Now, Azhagiri is a very, you know, he is, he is a mass leader. He controls half of Tamil Nadu for Karunanidhi's point of view.
Vir Sanghvi: Okay.
14
00:01:44,416 --> 00:01:51,583
Niira: He is far too, too senior for Maran. So, what he has told his father that if you make Maran a cabinet minister...
Vir Sanghvi: Yeah.
15
00:01:51,583 --> 00:01:56,959
Niira: ...I'll not come into the cabinet. And the father cannot afford to upset him because... 
Vir Sanghvi: Obviously.
16
00:01:56,959 --> 00:01:59,263
Niira: ...simply because of his position. 
Vir Sanghvi: Yeah.
17
00:01:59,263 --> 00:02:03,360
Niira: Right now the Congress doesn't seem to be understanding this. 
Vir Sanghvi: So, who should they talk to?
18
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:08,735
Niira: They need to, look, they need to talk directly to Karunanidhi, they need to talk to Kanni. 
Vir Sanghvi: Sonia spoke to him yesterday, you know.
19
00:02:08,735 --> 00:02:22,304
Niira: No, she didn't speak to him. Only Prime Minister spoke even that was Kanni was translating for him. It was very brief that, you know, let's try and resolve this issue. There is nothing at all and whatever. They need to get Ghulam Nabi Azad to speak to Kanimozhi.
20
00:02:22,304 --> 00:02:25,631
Vir Sanghvi: Okay.
Niira: Seriously, that's the only thing that will work and Kanni will take them to her father.
21
00:02:25,631 --> 00:02:33,055
Vir Sanghvi: I won't get into Sonia in the short term, let me try and get through to Ahmed.
Niira: No. But they need to speak to Kanni and Kanni will take him to their, her father directly.
22
00:02:33,055 --> 00:02:38,687
Vir Sanghvi: Okay.
Niira: He has no problem with three cabinet berths at all. In fact it is the Congress that messed it up.
Vir Sanghvi: Mm-hmm.
23
00:02:38,687 --> 00:02:44,832
Niira: Had they, had they not kept on insisting and kept on pushing Maran forward. They themselves have been pushing Maran forward.
24
00:02:44,832 --> 00:02:56,095
Niira: They would have left it to Raja and... Baalu even if they wanted, or Raja and Azhagiri and Kanni would have taken independent. Nobody - it is Congress they started this whole Maran dialogue.
25
00:02:56,095 --> 00:02:59,167
Vir Sanghvi: Oh, I have been thinking that DMK nominated Maran.
26
00:02:59,167 --> 00:03:06,847
Niira: No. No. No. No, they did, they've sent a list earlier with five portfolios and Maran's name because father was pushed from all sides so he had to send a list with everybody's name on it.
27
00:03:06,847 --> 00:03:22,975
Niira: But he was hoping that Congress would come back and say okay we will accept Raja or we will not, or not Raja, we will give you only three portfolios right? But they have not able to, the communication that's been happening in Congress with DMK has been complete warped. They are talking to the wrong guys.
28
00:03:22,975 --> 00:03:28,095
Vir Sanghvi: Okay. Let me try and get through to Ahmed. 
Niira: The, the simplest way is Kanimozhi.
Vir Sanghvi: Yeah.
29
00:03:28,095 --> 00:03:31,167
Niira: And Kanimozhi will take them to her father directly.
Vir Sanghvi: Okay.
30
00:03:31,167 --> 00:03:38,847
Niira: And they can have this, you know, whatever are the, the concerns, whatever they want to say, let them say in front of Karunanidhi.
Vir Sanghvi: And he'll never mind. He will not mind.
31
00:03:38,847 --> 00:03:45,503
Niira: Yeah, they should say, they should say we don't want Maran. 
Vir Sanghvi: Okay. Done. Let me just try and get through and I'll let you know soon.
32
00:03:45,503 --> 00:03:51,391
Niira: But the moment you drop Maran, your problem gets resolved because Azhagiri has done okay. 
Vir Sanghvi: Okay.
Niira: Yeah.
33
00:03:51,391 --> 00:03:55,743
Vir Sanghvi: Okay.
Niira: Okay. Give him this message. She is right now...
Vir Sanghvi: I just...
34
00:03:55,743 --> 00:04:00,351
Niira: [Indiscernible] She is in her South Avenue residence.
Vir Sanghvi: They have her mobile no, you know?
Niira: I just met her.
35
00:04:00,351 --> 00:04:07,007
Vir Sanghvi: Okay.
Niira: And some Tamil Nadu Congress guys has also gone just now to meet her. 
Vir Sanghvi: Okay.
36
00:04:07,007 --> 00:04:12,127
Niira: I don't think it needs to be done at that level. It needs to be done at, at Ghulam Nabi Azad level or...
Vir Sanghvi: Well, I'll talk with Ahmed. I'm going to talk to him.
37
00:04:12,127 --> 00:04:12,546
Niira: Yeah.
Vir Sanghvi: Yeah.

10
00:00:57,312 --> 00:01:04,992
Channu: Hmm!

Channu: Hmm!
Niira: Which they will call in outsiders to... The program is based on whose... It doesn't take sides. It is not about Mukesh or Anil any longer.

Channu: Hmm!
Niira: It's about whose gas is it anyway?
13
00:01:14,976 --> 00:01:17,024
Channu: Yaa, it is about the issue and the discussion.
14
00:01:17,024 --> 00:01:23,167
Niira: Yaa! It is about that and it is about ...(Unclear)... and private agreements because there are 170 NELP aggrements today...

Channu: Hmm, hmm!
20

Niira: To which she said no, you give me information and then she told me that you were in touch with somebody from RIL, I didn't want to tell you anything. I said you don't worry about it.
21
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:50,304
Channu: Hmm, hmm!
Niira: That means it touches all of us. If it touches RIL also maybe he is. I know he knows the lawyers and all that.

25
00:02:00,543 --> 00:02:06,431
Channu: Yaa, of course. That is beyond... I mean it is not good for both of us that way.
Niira: Hmm!
26

Channu: So, cool, cool. No problem at all.

Channu: Ok, lovely, lovely!
30
00:02:19,487 --> 00:02:27,167
Niira: Ok, now the thing is that the SLP I need to give you but the problem is Channu that I need that SLP to be carried in a particular context you know?
31
00:02:27,167 --> 00:02:30,751
Channu: Hmm, hmm, hmm!
Niira: I have got the SLPs. I have got the copies. They have all come in to me.
32

Channu: Yaa, yaa. You let me know. Let the budget hulla be over today.
34
00:02:38,687 --> 00:02:46,623
Channu: Then we will like I will go to the court tomorrow and also read the papers and then start work on it from tomorrow onwards.
35
00:02:46,623 --> 00:02:51,231
Niira: Yaa because you know at the end of the day we must drive the point.
Channu: Hmm!
36
00:02:51,231 --> 00:02:56,095
Niira: You see I have only one point to drive that RIL's case, that RNRL's case...
Channu: Hmm!
37
00:02:56,095 --> 00:03:01,727
Niira: Is not against the... Is no longer against RIL because it is the government they are challenging <i>na</i>?
Channu: Hmm!
38
00:03:01,727 --> 00:03:04,799
Niira: You are saying give me a stay on the contract.
Channu: Yaa, yaa, yaa!
39
00:03:04,799 --> 00:03:12,478
Niira: This whole interim relief issue.
Channu: Hmm! Of course.
Niira: So that's what is being said.
40
00:03:12,478 --> 00:03:16,063
Channu: Hmm!
Niira: I believe a lot of the state governments have also written, <i>haan</i>!
41
00:03:16,063 --> 00:03:26,047
Channu: Ohh! That will be very interesting because that gives a new context into the entire thing because I am sure Andhra Pradesh will be one of them definitely.
42
00:03:26,047 --> 00:03:35,776
Niira: Hmm! Well multiple, multiple state governments have written.
Channu: I think we should keep all this and you know, keep hammering it.
43
00:03:35,776 --> 00:03:39,360
Niira: Channu for me the most important thing is Wednesday morning.
Channu: Hmm!
44
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,199
Niira: What the appears on Wednesday morning becomes most critical.
Channu: Ok!
45
00:03:43,199 --> 00:03:48,063
Niira: Because at the end of the day that is our matter that is coming up on that day.
Channu: Hmm!
46
00:03:48,063 --> 00:03:55,487
Niira: So that becomes really really critical. So we will have to sit down and plan how we want to do this. You tell me how you are placed because you are busy today <i>na</i>?
47
00:03:55,487 --> 00:04:07,007
Channu: Ya today will be a little this thing... What I will do is I will come to you first thing tomorrow morning or as and when we are through this evening but it will be pretty late.
48
00:04:07,007 --> 00:04:11,615
Niira: Ok, give me a call otherwise tomorrow morning we can meet early na?
49
00:04:11,615 --> 00:04:16,992
Channu: Sure, sure! Yaa, yaa! We will do that. No if we can speak at 10 at night we will do that.
50
00:04:16,992 --> 00:04:19,552
Niira: Or we will talk tonight in any case <i>na</i>?
Channu: Yaa!
51
00:04:19,552 --> 00:04:23,135
Niira: Because yesterday they were circulating their fertiliser letter again <i>na</i>.
52
00:04:23,135 --> 00:04:35,936
Channu: Ahh! So stupid you know that the way they have sort of written. But finally Nainan(?) has put out all their details of their submission and all.
53
00:04:35,936 --> 00:04:37,984
Niira: When today?
54
00:04:37,984 --> 00:04:52,832
Channu: Yaa, yaa, yaa! So...What they were trying to tell people not to do, that point has come out and even the other day also I think they had a...
55
00:04:52,832 --> 00:05:00,511
Niira: On Saturday, on Saturday night... No on Sunday. That was yesterday, it came out very well Nainan(?) put out the whole point very well.
56
00:05:00,511 --> 00:05:03,583
Channu: Correct, correct.
Niira: But not today. Today I didn't see anything.
57
00:05:03,583 --> 00:05:09,471
Channu: Yaa, they have done a much better job out of it rather than messing it up you know like...
58
00:05:09,471 --> 00:05:10,835
Niira: No but has something come up today?

Attach it to the newspaper and send it to every MP's house.)
28

33

Nira: Please haa! With the translation. Ok
Daljeet: Sure, sure, sure. It will be done. Ok ma'am.
34
00:02:22,047 --> 00:02:25,119
Nira: Ok! That is one. The second thing is... <i> Tu BS ka story dekhle.</i> (... you see the BS story.)
35
00:02:25,119 --> 00:02:30,495
Daljeet: <i>Theek hai.</i> ( Ok.)
Nira: Because obviously they have... You see Prabhakaran... <i>Ne bhi unka hi</i> story carry <i>kiya hai.</i> (... also has carried their story only.)
36
00:02:30,495 --> 00:02:33,055

37
00:02:33,055 --> 00:02:41,503
Nira: Haa but why?
Daljeet: I don't know. I will have to speak to him. He got the information. He asked for the information. I gave him the entire information.
38
00:02:41,503 --> 00:02:47,136

Daljeet: But despite that he didn't use it.
Nira: I mean you have to speak to him.
39
00:02:47,136 --> 00:02:49,951
Daljeet: Yaa, yaa. I know I will go and meet him. I will go and meet him personally.
40

Nira: <i>Tu dekhna usko.</i> (You see to him.) You know how he is na?
41
00:02:52,511 --> 00:03:01,727
Daljeet: Yaa I know I know he is a bit ...<i> Sanki </i> (Mad)... type of character.
Nira: But I believe he works on a different method <i>na</i>?
42
00:03:01,727 --> 00:03:07,871
Daljeet: No otherwise he is not the kind of person who will take sides.
Nira: Hmm!
43
00:03:07,871 --> 00:03:12,735
Daljeet: But I will go and speak to him on this issue.
Nira: You sure?
44
00:03:12,735 --> 00:03:16,063
Daljeet: Yaa, yaa I'll speak to him.
Nira: He's not cut a favour with the other guys?
45

Daljeet: <i> Haanji? </i> (Sorry?)
Nira: He hasn't cut any favours with the other guys <i>na</i>?
46
00:03:20,416 --> 00:03:23,743
Daljeet: No, no, no I don't think so, no.
Nira: You don't think so <i>na</i>?
47
00:03:23,743 --> 00:03:27,327
Daljeet: <i> Nahi, nahi...</i> (No, no...) he is not that kind of a person.
Nira: He's straight ?
48
00:03:27,327 --> 00:03:32,447
Daljeet: I'll, I'll speak to him ma'am.
Nira: No tell me one thing. Is he completely straight?
49
00:03:32,447 --> 00:03:36,799
Daljeet: Yaa he is straight ma'am. He is straight.
Nira: You sure <i>na</i>?
Daljeet: Yaa, yaa, 100%.
50
00:03:36,799 --> 00:03:42,430
Nira: Because there have been so many views about him.
Daljeet: No, no, I know him for last more than a decade. Almost two decades.
51
00:03:42,430 --> 00:03:46,783
Nira: Hmm!
Daljeet: I know him as not a kind of person who will cut favour with anybody.
Nira: You sure <i>na</i>?
52
00:03:46,783 --> 00:03:53,439
Daljeet: Yaa, yaa, 100% ma'am.
Nira: <i> Nahin, theek hai, phir tum</i> (No it's ok, then you...) ...You go with that assumption then and you please handle him <i>haan</i>.
53
00:03:53,439 --> 00:03:54,975
Daljeet: Yaa sure I'lll do that. I'll do that.
54
00:03:54,975 --> 00:03:58,047
Nira: <i> Acha Nav Bharat Times ka kaise legega? Kal kuch aane wala hai? </i> (Okay what about Nav Bharat Times? Is anything going to come tomorrow? )
55
00:03:58,047 --> 00:04:00,608
Daljeet: <i> Kal to nahin, aaj to sirf Budget hi gaya hai. </i> (Not tomorrow. Today only Budget has gone.)
56
00:04:00,608 --> 00:04:07,776
Nira: Hmm, <i>Aaj pura budget right?</i> (Today full budget right?)
Daljeet: <i>Aaj pura budget. Aaj toh...</i> (Today full budget. Today...) People will not even talk on this issue. They don't have time.
57

Nira: Yaa, speaking. Hi!
Padmanabhan: Ehh... Good morning. I have SR also with me.
SR: Hi Nira!
5
00:00:33,248 --> 00:00:36,832
Nira: Hi! How are you?
SR: Fine. Yaa.
6
00:00:36,832 --> 00:00:45,280
Nira: I just wondered. I got a...um, you know this matter is coming up tomorrow in the Supreme Court.
SR: Yaa.
7
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:51,936
Nira: Apparently RNRL has asked for a stay which maybe they will not get. What I understand from Mukesh's people.
8
00:00:51,936 --> 00:00:57,568
Nira: They will... Harish is not in town. Harish will be there for Wednesday.
SR: Yaa.
9
00:00:57,568 --> 00:01:12,928
Nira: So the matter for RIL's petition will come up on Wednesday and... But Anil's lawyers have indicated today that they have no intention of holding out for Wednesday and therefore they will move for an interim stay tomorrow.
10
00:01:12,928 --> 00:01:22,400
Nira: Which they can't get because it is only going to get mentioned first but they want an interim stay on all the agreements.
SR: Ok.
11
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:37,503
Nira: What we wondered is that I believe that several of the companies that have signed the GSPA have written letters now to the government on both the allocation issue as well as disparity in pricing.
12
00:01:37,503 --> 00:01:42,624
SR: Hmm!
Nira: I am just wondering whether Tata Power was sending a letter.
13
00:01:42,624 --> 00:01:53,632
SR: See originally we said that we will look at sending the letter if the other power producers are also sending.
Nira: Yaa!
14
00:01:53,632 --> 00:02:00,543
SR: You are now telling me this is only those who have signed the gas supply agreement with RIL.
15
00:02:00,543 --> 00:02:06,688
Nira: No I think many of them that have written in to the government like for eg. GVK.
SR: Hmm!
16
00:02:06,688 --> 00:02:11,551
Nira: Has sent their letter. I am going to get a copy of that letter in a little while. I think there are several of them, Torrent...
17
00:02:11,551 --> 00:02:18,720
SR: Hasn't GVK signed a gas supply agreement? They have.
Nira: Yes they have. Yes they have. Have we signed a gas supply agreement?
18
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:25,119
Padmanabhan: See what we have with RIL is we have signed a gas supply agreement but there is no allocation for us as yet.
19
00:02:25,119 --> 00:02:33,823
Nira: Yes because what I did indicate it to Mr Tata last week when I met him. As you know Mr. Tata had met up with Mukesh also.
20
00:02:33,823 --> 00:02:46,367
SR: Hmm!
Nira: What has been... What has transpired is that I believe they were giving us one MMSCB and Mukesh has indicated to Prasad which...
21
00:02:46,367 --> 00:02:53,023
Nira: PMS Prasad that he must ensure that the government gives us allocation for the second because we have applied for two, haven't we?
22
00:02:53,023 --> 00:02:56,095
SR: Yes we have filled... That's right. Yes.
23
00:02:56,095 --> 00:03:07,615
Nira: And the indication was that even if we get one more... But given that we have only applied for two, we should get two so they were pushing the government to ensure on our behalf that we get the two.
24
00:03:07,615 --> 00:03:15,295
SR: Hmm!
Nira: Which I think, Mukesh has given his word to both Mr. Tata and mentioned to me separately.
25
00:03:15,295 --> 00:03:20,159
Nira: I called Mr. Tata last week and let him know that he had said that we are pushing for the second as well.
26
00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:28,608
SR: Hmm! Hmm! See Nira, the only thing that we would like to make sure is that we don't appear as the one company doing it, yaa?
27
00:03:28,608 --> 00:03:32,192
Nira: Yaa, I don't think you are the only one. I'll get the list of everyone that's done it.
28
00:03:32,192 --> 00:03:37,567
Nira: I know but seven or eight letters have come in already including the state of Andhra has also written it.
29
00:03:37,567 --> 00:03:47,295
SR: Ok and we all can have this similar content so that we don't have any issues on that.
Padmanabhan: You can lay your hand on GVK's letter Nira?
30
00:03:47,295 --> 00:03:52,927
Nira: Yes, yes. I'll get it in a... inf act Prasad said to me that he will send it to me in about half an hour.
Padmanabhan: Ok.
31
00:03:52,927 --> 00:03:57,279
Nira: So I'll get you the GVK letter.
SR: Yaa, wonderful.
32
00:03:57,279 --> 00:04:01,119
Nira: Because they have also taken legal advice.
SR: Ok.
33
00:04:01,119 --> 00:04:06,239
Nira: And they have been told to actually feed in the matter you know because not to let it pend...
34
00:04:06,239 --> 00:04:13,407
Nira: I think everyone more or less out of the 40 agreements including the fertiliser companies are going to go to the Supreme Court by the look of things.
35
00:04:13,407 --> 00:04:18,527
SR: Haa! The fertiliser companies have an association like TRAI.
Nira: Ehuh!
36
00:04:18,527 --> 00:04:26,463
SR: The power companies, what happened, an association is just getting formed. Unfortunately the association was first convened last month.
Nira: Ehuh!
37
00:04:26,463 --> 00:04:35,167
SR: By and it is being chaired by Anil Ambani's RCL.
Nira: Oh God!
38
00:04:35,167 --> 00:04:41,567
SR: So that's what when Prasad was... When we discussed this, Prasad was saying this issue is there.
Nira: Ehuh!
39
00:04:41,567 --> 00:04:47,967
SR: So the association cannot right because there is a vested party in the membership there.
Nira: Yes, yes.
40
00:04:47,967 --> 00:04:53,343
SR: So what we will do, if you can get us the letter we will run through it quickly.
Nira: Ehuh!
41
00:04:53,343 --> 00:04:58,207
SR: And also it will help to know if more than five, six companies are there...
42
00:04:58,207 --> 00:05:02,048
Nira: I'll let you know. I know but seven of them till Saturday had already done so.
43
00:05:02,048 --> 00:05:13,055
Nira: I also know that the Andhra Government on behalf of its own state government requirements had also written. I am expecting to get copies of those letters.
SR: Ok.
44
00:05:13,055 --> 00:05:20,479
Nira: The GVK letter Prasad had indicated that he was going to send to me by about one o'clock today. So I should get that in a little while.
45
00:05:20,479 --> 00:05:26,880
SR: Wonderful.
Nira: Ill send that across to you and then we can look at sending a letter along those lines, isn't it?
SR: Yes, yes.
46
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:31,488
Nira: Ok! That will be great because I don't think we are the only ones. I believe everyone is going down that route.
47
00:05:31,488 --> 00:05:35,600
SR: Ok, ok! So once I get the letter I'll give you a call.
48
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:40,639
Nira: Ok so I'll get it across to you then.
SR: Ok, thank you!
Nira: Ok, thank you! Bye, bye!

00:03:02,239 --> 00:03:11,711
Nira: ...say that this is how our business rivals are trying to take away legitimate gains that could have come into the E&P sector.
21
00:03:11,711 --> 00:03:18,367
Nira: Likewise in the power sector there are 50000 crores by giving them a two year tax holiday.
Manoj: Hmm!
22
00:03:18,367 --> 00:03:22,975
Nira: 15000... 50000 crore benefit to the power companies.
Manoj: Ok!
23
00:03:22,975 --> 00:03:24,511
Nira: Hmm!
Manoj: Ok!
24
00:03:24,511 --> 00:03:27,327
Nira: <i> Isko word karke tum kar sakte ho teek se? </i> ( Can you word this and do it properly?)
25
00:03:27,327 --> 00:03:28,863
Manoj: <i> Dekta hu. </i> (I'll see.)
26
00:03:28,863 --> 00:03:33,727
Nira: <i> Vo ke reha hai ke benefit abi humne abi calculate nahi keya kuki clarity nahi hai. </i> ( He is saying that we have not yet calculated the benefit because there is no clarity.)
Manoj: Hmm!
27
00:03:33,727 --> 00:03:39,615
Nira: So we don't know whether there is actually going to be any benefit to us in the first place.
Manoj: Hmm!
28
00:03:39,615 --> 00:03:42,430
Nira: So instead of us saying that there is no benefit to us...
Manoj: Hmm!
29
00:03:42,430 --> 00:03:46,271
Nira: You should say that sources say that there is no benefit to us.
Manoj: Hmm!
30
00:03:46,271 --> 00:03:52,927
Nira: And how you know business rivals have worked to... But not saying RIL.
Manoj: Hmm!
31
00:03:54,463 --> 00:03:58,304
Nira: <i> Kuan tuje chase kar reha hai, ET? </i> (Who is chasing you, ET?)
Manoj: Hmm!
32
00:03:58,304 --> 00:04:00,095
Nira: Hmm! <i> Mujebe ET chase kar reha hai. </i> ( ET is chasing me also.)
33
00:04:02,911 --> 00:04:05,727
Manoj: Hmm! <i> Nahi plus vo Navin vagera ka phone aaya... </i> (No plus that Navin etc.'s phone had come.)
Nira: Hmm?
34
00:04:05,727 --> 00:04:11,360
Manoj: 20000 is actually on that pipeline. They have allowed 100% depreciation.
Nira: Hmm!
35
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:17,503
Manoj: That to we are handling, <i> ke... </i> (that...) ... depreciation will come only when you have 20000 worth of gross revenue.
36
00:04:17,503 --> 00:04:25,183
Nira: Hmm!
Manoj: <i> Vaisa fira rehai hai ke ek sal me ye sab... koi operator aisa nahi hai jo productization claim kar lega. </i> ( They are spreading that in one year, there is no operator who will claim productization.)
37
00:04:25,183 --> 00:04:29,279
Nira: Hmm!
Manoj: You know, it will basically find liabilities which is very high then I will claim depreciation.
38
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,863
Nira: <i> Now usko vo hi bol do... </i> ( Now tell him that only that...) power sector has got 50000 crores.
39
00:04:32,863 --> 00:04:35,423
Manoj: 50000 crores <i>na</i>?
Nira: Hmm!
40
00:04:35,423 --> 00:04:36,959
Manoj: <i> Teek hai. </i> (Ok.) ok.
41
00:04:36,959 --> 00:04:42,335
Nira: So he gets 50000 crores of benefit. Although... <i> vo nahi hai, tho be tu faik de na 50000 crores. </i> ( It is not that but you still lie that it is 50000 crores.)
42
00:04:42,335 --> 00:04:44,384
Manoj: <i> Haan two years ka holiday mila na unko? </i> ( Yes, two years holiday they got, haven't they?)
43
00:04:44,384 --> 00:04:52,063
Nira:Hmm! Two years holiday. Ok listen... <i> Raghav ko kya liku mai ke... </i> ( What do I write to Raghav that...) ... MM is coming into... I am sending him an email because he is not answering my phone.
44
00:04:52,063 --> 00:04:57,695
Manoj: Hmm!
Nira: Maybe he is tied up. That MM and I would like to come to your office.
45
00:04:57,695 --> 00:05:05,376
Manoj: Hmm!
Nira: To present the... To give you a perspective on what has been happening in this recent matter.
46
00:05:05,376 --> 00:05:11,007
Manoj: Yaa!
Nira: And has asked me to seek time with you for Wednesday.
Manoj: Yaa!
47
00:05:11,007 --> 00:05:13,824
Nira: <i> Eisa karke haa! </i> ( Like that ok!)
Manoj: <i> Teek hai! </i> (Ok!)
Nira: <i> Eisa kar du ? </i> ( Should I do it like that?)
Manoj: Hmm!
48
00:05:13,824 --> 00:05:20,735
Nira: Best no... <i> Dono... </i> (Both...) ... to Raghav. Because I am putting it on mail which is why otherwise because I have been trying to reach him on the phone but he is not answering.
49
00:05:20,735 --> 00:05:27,391
Manoj: <i> Haan teek hai. Eisa math dalo na </i> (Yes ok. Don't put it like this.) MM is in town and just wanted to come across and discuss some...
50
00:05:27,391 --> 00:05:35,071
Nira: No but I want to tell him <i>na</i> that incase he has got people he wants to meet <i>na</i>.
Manoj: Haa! Discuss some of the developments.
51
00:05:35,071 --> 00:05:40,191
Nira: Hmm!
Manoj: Related to the gas supplies.
52
00:05:40,191 --> 00:05:46,847
Nira: Hmm! Ok but I don't want to put that on record <i>na</i> Manoj because it is a subjudice matter.
53
00:05:46,847 --> 00:05:53,503
Manoj: <i> Tho gas supply tho hum log sare operators ko de rehai hai vegera 40 MMSCMD ho gaya. </i> ( Gas supply we are giving to all the operators etc. 40 MMSCMD has become.)
54
00:05:53,503 --> 00:06:00,160
Nira: I'll try and reach him again ok. Let me try and reach him again.
55
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:07,855
Manoj: Or just say that MM is in town and we just wanted to drop in and discuss some of the recent developments so it would be nice if you could...
56
00:06:07,855 --> 00:06:10,189
Nira: Hmm! <i> Teek hai. </i> ( Ok.)

15
00:01:34,688 --> 00:01:42,624
Manoj Warrier: They wanted a clarification that it includes natural gas so that the 7 year tax holiday could be availed of.
16
00:01:42,624 --> 00:01:52,608
Manoj Warrier: But apparently ministry now has told ET that it is not — RIL will not get any benefit it will be from the future NELP blocks, that is NELP 8.

10
00:01:03,712 --> 00:01:09,344

11
00:01:09,344 --> 00:01:14,720

14
00:01:26,496 --> 00:01:36,735
Nira: Hmm!
Bittu: And then they said that how, then I told them, I mean they have done a fabulous job for Tata and now they are doing it for Reliance so then they said yaa, yaa.
15
00:01:36,735 --> 00:01:41,598
Bittu: Then we will. I saw basically already internally they have decided.
Nira: Hmm!
16
00:01:41,598 --> 00:01:47,232
Bittu: And then I got the impression like that, that is why I send an SMS. Otherwise I would told you that they are talking to you.
17
00:01:47,232 --> 00:01:50,560
Nira: Hmm! Because they have got... They are with AD Factors no?
18
00:01:50,560 --> 00:02:01,055

Nira: No, no, ofcourse, ofcourse.
22
00:02:17,183 --> 00:02:21,023

Nira: (Laughs.)
23
00:02:21,023 --> 00:02:31,007
Bittu: So I just thought that, then I said I, what I could do I also told them that they have... I didn't say I said like this that they have done a fabulous job for Tata's.
24
00:02:31,007 --> 00:02:36,895
Nira: Hmm!
Bittu: So Reliance also, that is why Mukesh Ambani normally doesn't give any outside PR. They have got that.
25
00:02:36,895 --> 00:02:42,527
Nira: Hmm!
Bittu: So they said yaa, we will... The way they were talking is that they will call you or something like that actually.
26
00:02:42,527 --> 00:02:51,231
Nira: Yaa, I know they have been... I mean they have been saying that we should meet but you know I have been so caught up and then our dates were never meeting so may be that is why...
27
00:02:51,231 --> 00:02:58,399
Bittu: Oh! <i>Acha, acha</i>!
Nira: They fact that I have not even them first. So I wouldn't say that I have got it.
Bittu: Oh! <i>Acha, acha</i>! So then they must be internally thinking about it actually.
Nira: Hmm!
28
00:02:58,399 --> 00:03:04,287
Bittu: Because what impression I got, that is why I came out of that building and then SMSed to you another feather in the cap ICICI Bank account.
29
00:03:04,287 --> 00:03:10,175
Bittu: Then I didn't get an SMS. Then I thought that...
Nira: No, no, no. I didn't get your SMS. I would have responded to you straight away you know that.
30
00:03:10,175 --> 00:03:18,879
Bittu: Ok, ok, ok! Anyway I think that you are on their radar.
Nira: (Laughs). Ok that is nice to know. That is nice to know. How are you? How are things?
31
00:03:18,879 --> 00:03:24,000
Bittu: I am fine. How do you like... There is a change in the Tata's this thing now?
32
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:29,888
Nira: Yes I think so. I think so. There is a big change, yaa!
Bittu: So that is why I told you that you should speak to Subuma.
Nira: Hmm!
33
00:03:29,888 --> 00:03:31,679
Bittu: I think you had a meeting with him no?
34
00:03:31,679 --> 00:03:39,615
Nira: No, I had a meeting with him. I meet Rajiv Verma and Shobna and everyone. So we dealt with it in terms of what were the issues. So yaa, there is a change.
35
00:03:39,615 --> 00:03:49,087
Bittu: Ok. Yaa, that is why. That is why I told you if you talk to them directly then there will be much more change actually because I don't think they will be going after people or something like that. We don't believe in that actually.
36
00:03:49,087 --> 00:03:54,975
Nira: Well I don't know. I mean, you know. There is a tendency sometimes. Atleast against RIL there is still not a change.
37
00:03:54,975 --> 00:04:06,239
Bittu: But I think. I don't think so. Basically that episode is over. Taking that pamphlet and writing it that thing is over. It will be more check and balances actually now. Hmm!
38
00:04:06,239 --> 00:04:12,383
Nira: Yaa because that one thing I had insisted with Rajiv Verma, because Buma was going all over the place no? Buma and Kushbu.
Bittu: Hmm!
39
00:04:12,383 --> 00:04:18,783
Nira: You know that.
Bittu: See basically they should stop this taking lease and then writing it actually infact I was telling Manoj actually.
40
00:04:18,783 --> 00:04:26,207
Nira: Hmm!
Bittu: Unless we stop it. Then I said that I wanted to meet PMS. He said they will expect a this thing kind of a story actually.
41
00:04:26,207 --> 00:04:30,303
Bittu: I said see boss. <i> Eisa nahi karega...</i> (We won't do it like this...) that we will ask some questions. He will answer. We will put it actually.
42
00:04:30,303 --> 00:04:40,287
Nira: Hmm! Hmm! We'll do a meeting with you and PMS. I have been telling Manoj that that needs to be done. The Bombay meetings need to happen. So...
43
00:04:40,287 --> 00:04:45,664
Bittu: Yaa! Whatever. It's... Whenever he is available. Not to rush it.
Nira: Hmm!
44
00:04:45,664 --> 00:04:51,295
Bittu: But whenever he is available we would like to spend atleast one hour with him so we can have a full fledged interview.
45
00:04:51,295 --> 00:04:58,720
Bittu: He can tell us what he wants to say and all. Then we can put it as a quote and...
Nira: But you know we are right now in court so a lot of the matter is sub judice actually.

00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,768
Bittu: No, no, let the court thing be over.
Nira: Hmm!
47
00:05:00,768 --> 00:05:05,888
Bittu: And say<i> aaram se... </i> (at a relaxed pace...) Whenever he is very comfortable to speak.
Nira: Right, right because...
Bittu: I am not rushing.
48
00:05:05,888 --> 00:05:09,727
Nira: Because this thing has gone a bit out of control. I mean if you think about it.
Bittu: Yaa!
49
00:05:09,727 --> 00:05:16,639
Nira: I mean I can't understand that how a country's national assets can be just divided up between a family you know.
Bittu: Yaa! (Laughs.)
50
00:05:16,639 --> 00:05:20,735
Nira: I said this to Mukesh also. I mean it is very unfortunate <i>na</i>?
51
00:05:20,735 --> 00:05:29,440
Bittu: Hmm! And also someone is... I think there is some....people are feeling up because I heard from some people that they had filed a PIL against this and all. National asset is...
52
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:34,558
Nira: I am sure people will. I am sure people will file and I am sure people will get fed up. There are enough people out there.
53
00:05:34,558 --> 00:05:40,191
Nira: Everyone I go to keeps on telling me the same. But the thing is, you know even the MOU.
Bittu: Hmm!
54
00:05:40,191 --> 00:05:43,264
Nira: It was subject to government approval.
Bittu: That is right.
55
00:05:43,264 --> 00:05:50,432
Nira: So you know, you can't say that give me everything for 50% discount no?
Bittu: Hmm! Hmm!
Nira: I mean the price was never in the MOU.
56
00:05:50,432 --> 00:05:56,575
Bittu: Ahh haa! haa!
Nira: So all this you know, you can't... You just can't cheat you way all the way, you know. All the time.
57
00:05:56,575 --> 00:06:04,511
Nira: All the time there is the same thing that I am the underdog. I am the younger brother. I should be given something different. You know. That is not good.
58
00:06:04,511 --> 00:06:12,191
Bittu: Hmm! That sentiments. He is playing around those. And also that he should concentrate on the... I mean not because of... See power projects and all he should do <i>na</i>.
59
00:06:12,191 --> 00:06:27,807
Nira: He should develop the... you know, Baiju he is...( Unclear)...
Bittu: He has got. He raised 10 billion dollars in 2007. 5 billion dollars ACB. 2.5 billion IPO. Then another 2.5 billion dollars.
60
00:06:27,807 --> 00:06:34,975
Nira: Now if you tell me 10 billion dollars in funds. He is still asking the court for a bankruptcy agreement.
Bittu: Hmm!
61
00:06:34,975 --> 00:06:45,727
Nira: ...(Unclear).
Bittu: That is true and also that I am told that he is talking to hawk Reliance Communication also.
62
00:06:45,727 --> 00:06:51,104
Nira: He is trying to sell it to AT&T no?
Bittu: Ahh! That is what I heard actually.
63
00:06:51,104 --> 00:06:56,992
Nira: But between you and me they will come for a ROFR. I have been getting feelers from AT&T.
Bittu: Yaa! Because...
64
00:06:56,992 --> 00:07:03,135
Nira: That you know why doesn't Mukesh not come in the way. My view is very clear that the question doesn't arise.
65
00:07:03,135 --> 00:07:03,240
Nira: You know. Bijju I just got PMS on the line can you give me two minutes ill call you back?
Bittu: Yaa! Yaa! <i> Aram se...</i> (Relax) Whenever you get time.

00:00:25,055 --> 00:00:31,711
Ganpathy: Also all the... You know, some of the guests who came to our program...
Nira: Haa!
7
00:00:31,711 --> 00:00:37,600
Ganpathy: Stayed till 10 o'clock. So while they were just... You know after that they were leaving home so they were chatting for a little while.
8
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:43,488
Ganpathy: All this Bide was there. Ashok Chawla was there. I said, you know it is important to make contact with Bide no?
9
00:00:43,488 --> 00:00:51,168
Nira: Hmm! But Bide is completely with ADAG.
Ganpathy: Ahh! No, no but see we have to give him <i> chavi </i> (key) <i>na</i>?
Nira: Ahh!
10
00:00:51,168 --> 00:01:03,456
Ganpathy: So I said... Also I gave... I cultivate him a little bit then I will be able to cultivate his officers as well. Even if he doesn't work then he will get them to do things.
11
00:01:03,456 --> 00:01:12,160
Nira: Hmm!
Ganpathy: So that is what. I spend some time with them... Also the CBC chap also. The CBC chairman, that Jha!

Ganpathy: I said, let's see, you know. Chat up these people and then you know.
13
00:01:21,375 --> 00:01:27,776
Ganpathy: You have told me enough lot of things related to these departments which will come up.
Nira: Hmm! Hmm!
14
00:01:27,776 --> 00:01:33,408
Ganpathy: So I said lets have a sort of...
Nira: Hmm!
Ganpathy: Touching base with them.
Nira: Hmm!
15
00:01:33,408 --> 00:01:42,110
Ganpathy: Today is the this thing <i>na</i>? Mention?
Nira: 11:30. They will give a date for Monday.
16
00:01:42,110 --> 00:01:50,816
Ganpathy: Ehh! No, no. Ok. So...
Nira: They will be... Even our side is appearing. So they will give a date. We will say <i>na</i>, that we have have also filed.
17
00:01:50,816 --> 00:01:57,984
Ganpathy: Haa! Haa! So it will just be a mention and then taking note of the point that it is admitted, <i>hai na</i>? (isn't it?)
18
00:01:57,984 --> 00:02:02,040
Nira: No, no. Admitted <i>abhi nahi hoga. Abhi toh admitted ke leye argument honge.</i> (Admission will not happen now, Now there will be arguments for admitted.)
19
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:08,990
Ganpathy: <i>Acha</i>! (Okay) So even before the admission they will listen... Because I thought since both parties have come in appeal...
Nira: Hmm!
20
00:02:08,990 --> 00:02:16,671
Ganpathy: Anyway there is no question of not admitting it <i>na</i>. When anyway both people are in appeal.
Nira: ... And said it is a government policy issue. Please go to the government.
21
00:02:16,671 --> 00:02:22,559
Ganpathy: Hmm! Yaa! Yaa! Instead if I had to do that then it is a totally different case.
Nira: Hmm!
22
00:02:22,559 --> 00:02:27,935
Ganpathy: But on the point of admitting and not admitting both sides are on the same page.
23
00:02:27,935 --> 00:02:32,543
Nira: It will have to be admitted <i>na</i>?
Ganpathy: They want the intervention of this court in...
24
00:02:32,543 --> 00:02:44,575
Nira: That's right. That's right. But maybe it will get admitted and they will say that let's meet on, you know. Let's hear it on Monday. Week Monday.
25
00:02:44,575 --> 00:02:49,695
Ganpathy: Yaa, yaa! Maybe the papers have to be submitted before that and all.
Nira: The papers are all given to everyone <i>na</i>.
26
00:02:49,695 --> 00:02:56,863
Ganpathy: Ok <i>na</i>, they might have to give more affidavits and all <i>na</i> now.
Nira: Emm! Yaa each side yaa!
27
00:02:56,863 --> 00:03:07,103
Ganpathy: Yaa and since there are caveats from both sides so each one will also get opportunity to file a counter affidavit.
28
00:03:07,103 --> 00:03:18,111
Nira: Correct.
Ganpaty: So those things will be there so anyway whatever development is there please do let me know. I am in constant touch with both Rohini and Supria.
29
00:03:18,111 --> 00:03:35,519
Nira: Ehuh!
Ganpathy: To develop different line of stories. One Supria on the Supreme Court and with Rohini I have told her to focus on this business of how the fertiliser and others are now going to get affected.
30
00:03:35,519 --> 00:03:40,639
Nira: Hmm!
Ganpathy: So we will walk on both sides.
Nira: I told you <i>na</i> she is coming to see me ehh!
31
00:03:40,639 --> 00:03:44,991
Ganpathy: Yaa, yaa! Good good.
Nira: <i> Toh uska kya karu vo usko mai GVK ka letter du? </i> ( So what should I do about her, should I give her the GVK letter?)
32
00:03:44,991 --> 00:03:50,367
Ganpathy: <i> Haan! haan! De dijiye. </i> ( Yes, yes! Give it.) Whatever letters we have let us share it.
33
00:03:50,367 --> 00:04:00,351
Nira: <i> Nahi </i> (No) but question is that I have told... The thing is that I will only give it if I am promised a front page tomorrow huh! Because it is a very critical letter.
34
00:04:00,351 --> 00:04:12,639
Ganpathy: Yaa, yaa! You tell her that this is you know. She should make sure that it is front page tomorrow and in the mean while I will also do some ground work. Speak to people.
35
00:04:12,639 --> 00:04:21,087
Nira: Shall I send you the GVK letter?
Ganpathy: Yaa, yaa! And some state government letters you said <i>na</i> we have them as well?
36
00:04:21,087 --> 00:04:25,183
Nira: It's not come in yet.
Ganpathy: Ehuh! Ok, ok!
Nira: But I don't want to do it at the same time <i>na</i>.
37
00:04:25,183 --> 00:04:29,791
Nira: I am not going to do it at the same time because I have got enough state government letters that have come in.
Ganpathy: Ehuh!
38
00:04:29,791 --> 00:04:37,727
Nira: And I don't want to do all of it at the same time.
Ganpathy: Ok fine let's do a, take a... you know give site a couple of examples of industry letters now and do them.
39
00:04:37,727 --> 00:04:49,247
Nira: Haa!
Ganpathy: And then go to the state government letters later and I also thought you said <i>na</i> there is some gist and some copy of the petition etc.
40
00:04:49,247 --> 00:04:53,600
Nira: Yaa! I sent it to you yesterday. Didn't you get the copy of the petition?
Ganpathy: No!
41
00:04:53,600 --> 00:05:03,328
Nira: How strange!
Ganpathy: No, no, wait, wait, wait. If it is in my mail in the later part of the day I might not have just seen it at all.
42
00:05:03,328 --> 00:05:08,703
Nira: Ok,ok. I told Rohit yesterday to get it across to you.
Ganpathy: Ehah! But by hard copy or by mail?
43
00:05:08,703 --> 00:05:20,223
Nira: Hard copy.
Ganpathy: No hard copy means it has not reached me because yesterday I was on the move constantly you know between North Block and Shasthri Bhawan and our studio etc.
44
00:05:20,223 --> 00:05:26,240
Ganpathy: So therefore I may not have seen it. So it may not have been possible for him to reach me etc.

Caller: Actually Jammu media is following at it primarily because <i>jo bhi yahan pe tha woh sab logon ne apne apne</i> bureaus <i> ko haan keh diya, Jammu mein</i> (whatever was here, they all have sent their bureaus to Jammu) to follow it up.. and <i>shyaam ko</i> (in the evening) I think they have managed that guy, SP...

Radia: No no of Sahara's relationship with Amar Singh is over right?
16
00:03:58,047 --> 00:04:05,215
Caller: <i>Usko nahin pata hoga kyunki woh top level pe hota hoga and yeh neeche ki level pe hoga</i> so he's not aware of that (He does not know because this must be happening at the top level and this guy is at the lower level.)
17
00:04:05,215 --> 00:04:20,063
Radia: No be he should be told. It's been over a long time ago. I have been doing a lot of MTNL stories.
Caller: The problem is that he stays in Jammu so he doesn't know what other developments are happening in Delhi and elsewhere.
Radia: <i>Toh usko bata do na</i> (Then tell him).

Radia: <i>Rohit ko bolo woh Rabinder ko Star mein phone kare. Pehle tum Star wale correspondent se baat karo na</i> (Tell Rohit to call Rabinder in Star. First talk to the correspondent in Star)..That he should also speak to the SSP and also ask him who is the operator. Today papers have reported RCom. Are you investigating more than one operator?
20
00:04:46,944 --> 00:05:05,376
Caller: <i>Nahin uski ne mujhe bataya ki RCom ka hai woh. Yeh saare Rcomm ke hai yeh usi ne mujhe bataya. Uske baad jo press release aayi hai, usi ne mujhe diya ki press release aayi hai</i>
(No the person who was talking told me that he is of Rcomm. He told me that these all belong to Rcomm. Then he told me about the press release that came later).. The point is that officially the SSP prime is saying and he is not naming any operator.
21
00:05:05,376 --> 00:05:25,855
Caller: Then the problem for the publication is that.. if an official press release comes which does not have any operator's name, then publication cannot go on their own and publish the name of any operator.. that is the problem.
22
00:05:25,855 --> 00:05:43,264
Caller: <i> Yeh officially press release aaya tha jisme kisi ka bhi naam nahin hai. Kal jo bhi kuch hua tha usme official kuch nahin tha </i> (Because officially a press release came without any name on it.. whatever was there yesterday had nothing official about it) .. in fact Dainik Jagran also had it on the front page today... in Jammu..
Radia: In Dainik Jagran too RCom has come?
23
00:05:43,264 --> 00:05:57,600
Caller: <i> Haan woh front page pe diya wahan pe.. aur peeche bhi kuch kiya tha wahaan pe.. inka toh pata hai ma'am ki woh jo Pathak hai woh </i> (inaudible)
(Yes yes that has come on the front page.. and they had something on the last page too.. we know about them ma'am that Pathak gets).. in fact i am in touch with Batra..

00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:07,583

25

Caller: <i> Uska kuch karna padega, alag se kuch karenge</i>.. (we have to do something about him separately.)
Radia: Hmm..<i>Pathak ka toh kuch karna hi padega</i> (We have to do something about Pathak..)
Caller: We have two strong groups.. the biggest.. Tatas and RIL.. if we leave them they are not going to give any information..
26
00:06:29,343 --> 00:06:45,216
Radia: I think we should start doing them I had told Vishal earlier too..
Caller: <i>Maine Rohit ko bhi kaha hai boss.. agar karna hai toh across the table baith ke negotiate karte hai na</i>
(I have told Rohit too ma'am.. if we have to then let's talk across the table and negotiate..)
27
00:06:45,216 --> 00:07:11,583
Caller: Either do it or negotiate... we are not going to give any information to you. And they can't afford to ignore two big groups.
Radia: That's right.
Caller: Just for the sake of Anil.
Radia: Correct, correct.
Caller: We have to take a (inaudible).
Radia: Okay let's do that. I have been saying this to Vishal for a long time.
28
00:07:11,583 --> 00:07:26,175
Caller: We have to take a strong lesson. Let's talk across the table and let's take a call. You want to go ahead with Anil or RIL or Tata. Take a call.
Radia: That's right. Absolutely.
29
00:07:26,175 --> 00:08:02,527
Caller: Otherwise they will take us for granted. And that is what they have been doing. That is precisely what they have been doing.
Radia: Yes yes.. I have been telling him.. I have been saying that you know.. I don't want to touch Pathak's nerve..
Caller: Ma'am there is no question of talking to Pathak.. Last time when that RCom story happened for a week I was pursuing him.. Sunil started it, and informed Pathak and Pathak abused me and I said I don't care boss..
30
00:08:02,527 --> 00:08:35,807
Caller: If you ran a story against Tatas, then why can't you do this? That report of Kotak, for a week I was branding lies..
Radia: Then do one thing, tell Pathak tomorrow that you tried yesterday. And now, we will have to take a call.
Caller: But what is Pathak's involvement.. ? I have been in touch with this guy Sunil.. I checked with Sunil and sorted out.. but internally we have to take a stand..
31
00:08:35,807 --> 00:08:53,549
Radia: No, I am with you Atul.. let's meet tomorrow..
(Inaudible, both speaking at the same time)
Caller: Let's have a meeting all of us together.. take a call on this and then I will take it forward..
Radia: Correct, correct.. perfect.. we will do that.. okay..

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..

Radia: Yeah, hi, how are you?
PAA: I am fine. How are things?
Radia: I'm fine, I'm fine. I hear Stalin has become Deputy CM...
4
00:00:26,547 --> 00:00:41,984
PAA: I know. What's happening? Only thing which caught my attention was your person, he keeps saying unless you have total belief in me it won't happen..
PAA: And he keeps hinting it will be only from September. I don't know whether you saw that..
5
00:00:41,984 --> 00:00:54,496
Radia: Listen he kept on saying that and the thing is that Kani... he said that I can take the horse to the water.. I can't force it to drink it. Astrology should be what you can do and what you can't do right?
6
00:00:54,496 --> 00:01:19,840
Niira: It says there's a path for you. Now it is for you to take that path. But she didn't take that path and I kept on telling her you should have taken the MoS. But maybe she had her own view which was... I think Kani must learn to look after herself first. She looks after everybody else first.
7
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:38,783
PAA: I think it's something we've all been telling her and she's upset after that. Because I told her the same thing.. I told even before we came to Delhi.. I told her, for the first time in your life please look after yourself. Everybody can look after themselves; this is politics you know.
8
00:01:38,783 --> 00:01:44,928
PAA: It's so cut-throat and nobody is your friend and nobody is your enemy.
Radia: Correct
PAA: What did she say?
9
00:01:44,928 --> 00:02:03,616
Radia: No, she told me...I think her view is.. I don't know whether she has made a mistake and she recognizes she made a mistake. But maybe we all need to talk to her, no?
PAA: Yes maybe once we all will come to Delhi and we'll all sit together and..
Radia: She is coming to Delhi next week.. she is in the Parliament..
10
00:02:03,616 --> 00:02:17,951
PAA: No before it was easy when I was just an MLA, now every time I come to Delhi I have to get his permission. And my portfolio as well now.. being IT which is a bit like in the dumps.. I need to work on it.. I am planning to have a roadshow..
11
00:02:17,951 --> 00:02:23,583
PAA: ...how is Sachin? He's ok?
Radia: He's good.
12
00:02:23,583 --> 00:02:33,055
PAA: I thought I will write to Sachin and to my minister and see whether he can get the e-governance up and going.
Radia: Yeah. Very good. You should do that.
13
00:02:33,055 --> 00:02:44,319
PAA: Yeah…because the only reason she has to see your friend (astrologer) is, I kept telling her you know.. that out of the blue he told me that something will happen and he didn't tell me what will happen.
Radia: He is my cousin brother by the way.
14
00:02:44,319 --> 00:03:02,495
PAA: He said don't go - leave or anything by any chance, because you will come back with a bang he told me. And something happened, that I prepared in my head …you know…..and just held on to it and things did big turn around.
Niira: Yeah yeah.
PAA: So I was just bothered what he can do for her, you know, apart from..
15
00:03:02,495 --> 00:03:06,335
Radia: Let her come to Delhi on Monday. Let me talk to her.
PAA: Hmm..
16
00:03:06,335 --> 00:03:20,927
Radia: She is coming on Monday. You also talk to her, let me also talk to her. Let's wait till Monday.
PAA: I think I talk to her enough (chuckle).
Radia: Let us just talk to her on Monday because she has indicated to me that she may have made a mistake. Let us just talk to her and see.. I still think there may be an opportunity, let's see.
17
00:03:20,927 --> 00:03:39,615
PAA: Well I still feel...I don't think...from whatever I know of the CM from my experience, he will not forego Kani he will get her back in her own time..
Radia: No but I also believe that she should remain friends with Azhagiri and you must encourage her to do that. Because I don't think Azhagiri is going to be able to stay in Delhi long.
18
00:03:39,615 --> 00:03:43,687
PAA: You think so?
Radia: I don't think he's got the make up to do that.
19
00:03:43,687 --> 00:03:49,087
PAA: No, no you are underestimating him.
Niira: Think about it.
PAA: They are all cut-throat politicians <i>yaa</i>r!
20
00:03:49,087 --> 00:03:59,071
Radia: No I understand that. But he would want to be in Tamil Nadu, why would he want to be here?
PAA: He is already missing Madurai and he said he wants to go back.
21
00:03:59,071 --> 00:04:02,631
Radia: I am telling you. Tell her to remain friends with him. Trust me.
22
00:04:02,631 --> 00:04:11,373
PAA: When I come there <i> na </i> one day, we will talk. I will be coming around the end of this week or early next week
Radia: Good I will be here.

Radia: Hi!
Vir: Hi, <i>dekha</i>? (Saw it?) Wrote it, I've dressed it up as a piece about how public will not stand for resources being cornered, how we are creating a new list of oligarchs. The examples I have given is court case which shows that mummy will decide that its all her family .. why should our gas be decided by mummy.
3
00:00:34,527 --> 00:00:46,560
Vir: I have given the example of the deal they struck on Southern after the Samajwadi Party supported the government and they went back on the deal.. and they went back on their old position.
4
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:51,424
Vir: I have given this example of how our spectrum is being allocated.
5
00:00:51,424 --> 00:01:07,040
Vir: And I have said that while people have a certain tolerance for corruption in this country.. they have no tolerance for people cornering our assets. And cornering our scarce resources, what is gonna happen is that this country is gonna become a country run by oligarchs like Russia who nobody can control.
6
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:13,940

Man - <i>Haan</i> (Yes), Nira.
3
00:00:09,951 --> 00:00:22,752
Nira: Srini, I have had a word with all of them including Natasha. I told her, explained to Natasha. Natasha was originally any case I had already told her this way back in August that we would want to do this with her.
4
00:00:22,752 --> 00:00:31,200
Nira: That is OK. I need to give her a couple of the people from NEWCOM so she can guide them and lead them properly which is fine. I'll do all those.
5
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:38,624
Nira: I mean NEWCOM will just check on this part out to BITCOM, that's not an issue. That we we'll handle, it's an internal thing between us.
6
00:00:38,624 --> 00:00:49,120
Nira: I do believe she has the skill sets. I think she has the maturity and the skill sets to do this and she is OK about it. Manoj is OK. Vishal is OK.

Srini: Hmm! Hmm!
Nira: I just... I am sorry.
Srini: Can I .. Can I, sorry you complete your sentence.
Nira: No no no, you go ahead, go on.
8
00:00:57,312 --> 00:01:07,296
Srini: See I was also thinking, I like Tom Clancy, so conspiracy theory or something which keeps going on in the mind, I don't...
9
00:01:07,296 --> 00:01:12,672
Srini: There are some vested interest who are feeling threatened by these new arrangements even for that brand enemy.
10
00:01:12,672 --> 00:01:25,472
Srini: I don't want them actually, see otherwise I mean it's one page apparently or half a page of picture and frankly I have never read 'Society' in my life, even if I had possibly flipped through it, possibly once or twice.
11
00:01:25,472 --> 00:01:34,176
Nira: Hmm! It's a (inaudible) impact. You see the problem is.... What are you saying? People who are threatened even about brand enemy, of course they are threatened by brand enemy.
12
00:01:34,176 --> 00:01:37,759
Srini: So they must be bringing it to our notice, you saw this bad story that has come.
13
00:01:37,759 --> 00:01:46,464
Nira: Yaa! Correct. But you know Srini, she is going to have to grow up out of that. Sorry. She is going to have to learn to do that deal with them separately.
14
00:01:46,464 --> 00:01:55,680
Nira: I mean I dealt with an over sensitive Ratan Tata who used to get upset about every negative word that was said in an article even though he had given that quote himself.
15
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:05,152
Nira: But it is a matter of time and she is going to have to... and I am sure that enough people in her own system who will tell her that this was there or even people like ... (Unclear)
16
00:02:05,152 --> 00:02:12,575
Srini: I am talking about people like that only.
Nira: Yaa! and I think that it has zero meaning which is why she needs engagement with us.
17
00:02:12,575 --> 00:02:26,143
Nira: You know... I have told Manoj... You know she needs... we needed this whole positioning, presentation. Shrini, every time I have met her I have told her that we need to present to you. We need to present you. This is not the way we can continue.
18
00:02:26,143 --> 00:02:37,151
Nira: You know we have to have a plan, we have a plan. You know that, right from the beginning I have been going on about this. It's not something that has been manufactured today.
19
00:02:37,151 --> 00:02:44,575
Srini: One thing in this episode where I possibly think we are... (unclear)... She made that point about that I had told you about 'Society' and you guys (unclear).
20
00:02:44,575 --> 00:02:56,095
Nira: No I think he is willing to accept responsibility for it, he says 'he's told me that he's send me the blog and I told him that I am sorry I don't agree with you because if I had got the blog, then my immediate reaction at that time would be why are we not suing 'Hello' magazine.
21
00:02:56,095 --> 00:03:10,431
Nira: Because he knows me. I mean he knows the way I work. I sit on their heads till it gets done. But on brand enemy he's been very shaky and I have seen that which is why I have kept on saying let's put Neeta on it.... I mean Natasha on it.
22
00:03:10,431 --> 00:03:21,695
Srini: Hmm!
Nira: Because he is... You know what ends up happening. Why he didn't do Society that day was because the insider trading issue came up. So that is high impact.
23
00:03:21,695 --> 00:03:30,655
Srini: Somebody else could have made I mean it's a... The other thing which Manoj does is he doesn't delegate.
24
00:03:30,655 --> 00:03:34,495
Nira: He doesn't delegate. I completely agree with you. Everyone is complaining about it.
25
00:03:34,495 --> 00:03:43,966
Nira: So we'll have to just take it on head on and take it out of his... For example, everything we do on the other stuff, we have taken it out from him. It's with Rohit now in Delhi.
26
00:03:43,966 --> 00:03:55,487
Nira: I don't allow him to get involved on some of those issues any longer. We handle it ourselves, within our scope and Rohit is in touch with Raja directly.
27
00:03:55,487 --> 00:04:04,703
Nira: We have had to do that because otherwise what used to happen was Raja would call him and make him to sit there for 5 hours into meetings and discussing the same financial issues and his rest of the stuff would get into problem.
28
00:04:04,703 --> 00:04:19,552
Nira: So he has to handle what ever concerns RIL as RIL is the company. MDA I am handling and the other one in terms of all the other stuff we do has gone into Rohit's hands.
29
00:04:19,552 --> 00:04:34,656
Nira: So we push it and then I hint to Natasha. I think Natasha is capable, you will like her. You will like her because you will see what I mean about her. She is there and she is available and she understands his space.
30
00:04:34,656 --> 00:04:41,055
Nira: I have sensitised her on the point of not using the word celebrity. She is OK about it she knows all that.
31
00:04:41,055 --> 00:04:46,944
Nira: And where ever she needs inputs... And one thing about her is that she delegates beautifully.
Srini: Hmm!
32
00:04:46,944 --> 00:04:55,135
Nira: And maybe Neeta will feel comfortable if she also has a lady managing her.
Srini: I agree.
33
00:04:55,135 --> 00:05:02,048
Nira: That bond will develop, you know. She has handled some of the most difficult ones. Trust me, she's handled Simone Tata.
34
00:05:02,048 --> 00:05:08,959
Nira: Who is not an easy one because Simone just never wanted anything and we were facing this whole succession issue and there was a fight.
35
00:05:08,959 --> 00:05:14,591
Nira: I remember at one time there was a major issue we had in TATA's but she handled Simone.
36
00:05:14,591 --> 00:05:21,247
Nira: Handled Simone in the sense that Simone never troubled us on those issues you know.
Srini: Hmm! Hmm!
37
00:05:21,247 --> 00:05:27,903
Nira: So she will... I will teach Natasha the other issues you know on how she needs to position her philanthropy point.
38
00:05:27,903 --> 00:05:37,631
Nira: You know, there is a nice fun side to her. There is a philanthropic side to her. There is a serious entrepreneur side to her as well you know. So she'll understand.
39
00:05:37,631 --> 00:05:46,079
Srini: Just seeing the Society page which Manoj has scanned and sent. See it is smart.
40
00:05:46,079 --> 00:05:58,367
Srini: You start up by saying that Shobhaa De finds internet and blogging very good and liberating because there is nobody to edit it except her, that kind of thing.
41
00:05:58,367 --> 00:06:09,631
Srini: Case in point, she finds it extremely liberating where she can say whatever she wants the way she wants to without worrying about the affiliations and loyalties of the various publishers.
42
00:06:09,631 --> 00:06:19,359
Srini: Case in point, is a recent interview with Neeta Ambani and... (inaudible)... lifestyle magazine. They have not reproduced that.
43
00:06:22,687 --> 00:06:32,415
Nira: They have not reproduced the article right?
Srini: They have not reproduced it because...
Nira: They can't because they are right that they will have a legal implication.
44
00:06:32,415 --> 00:06:41,631
Srini: They have just picked up pieces which she says is not published.
Nira: It is come on mail to all of us is it?
Srini: Yes, it is come to you only actually.
45
00:06:41,631 --> 00:06:48,799
Nira: One moment, I'll just retrieve it.
Srini: Anyway, she said in five to ten minutes we can have a conference.
46
00:06:48,799 --> 00:07:01,343
Nira: Please connect Manoj, Vishal and myself and what I will do then is get her to give time for Natasha today or tomorrow.
47
00:07:01,343 --> 00:07:13,888
Nira: Let Natasha come across, meet her with Manoj. Then we will go across first and meet Manoj this afternoon, understand it and then take it on from there.
48
00:07:13,888 --> 00:07:19,776
Nira: And Shri just one piece of advice from you, do you want me to mention that look this has had zero impact.
49
00:07:19,776 --> 00:07:26,687
Srini: I think you should.
Nira: Yes, because I'll tell her that...
Srini: The whole thing with Manoj saying it, I'll tell you also, Nira...
50
00:07:26,687 --> 00:07:31,040
Srini: You can come across as someone who is dispassionate and you are giving (inaudible) advice.
51
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:37,183
Srini: Some how in this case when I said but who reads Society and OK fine boss, you didn't do you job so that is why you are saying that.
52
00:07:37,183 --> 00:07:44,863
Srini: I asked you to meet and you didn't meet and that is why you are saying that. You understand where I am coming from?
Nira: Hmm! Hmm!
53
00:07:44,863 --> 00:07:48,191
Srini: When you say it I think it will have an impact.
54
00:07:48,191 --> 00:07:57,407
Nira: Of course Shobhaa De is... and I go back to what I told her right from the beginning about Shobhaa De that this is not the interview you should have accepted.
55
00:07:57,407 --> 00:08:03,552
Nira: Shobhaa De is not a person you can accept as an interviewer. She is competing with you how can you accept her.
56
00:08:03,552 --> 00:08:14,048
Nira: You see if you go back, specially the point I am going to make to her is that you know there is an element of advice. That advice comes from a little thought process. It doesn't come just because we have a view about something you know.
57
00:08:14,048 --> 00:08:19,936
Srini: This whole accepting and non accepting thing has been done before even I got to know about it.
58
00:08:19,936 --> 00:08:38,880
Nira: Yes I know.
Srini: ... I don't have a good view about either her writing or personality. She is a complete sham and... (inaudible)..There is neither (inaudible) nor quality in her writing...
59
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:49,888
Nira: And people have zero view of her. The amount of criticism the Times Of India have on her column are quite remarkable but they have to continue because a contractual agreement is there in place.
60
00:08:49,888 --> 00:08:58,591
Nira: And there is also this Vineeth factor there and it is a matter of time and that column will be taken off.
61
00:08:58,591 --> 00:09:10,624
Nira: Shrini, I am going to tell her that I recognise that may be there has been a failure on the team in this case, and I have told Manoj this already, I am substituting the team because...
62
00:09:10,624 --> 00:09:18,047
Srini: I was also feeling sorry. Manoj had said sorry yesterday and he had apologised to me, he is not ehh!...
63
00:09:18,047 --> 00:09:27,007
Nira: No no, he is very good that way, he has always worked to his... but the thing is that I cannot own up to a situation and not do something about it.
64
00:09:27,007 --> 00:09:40,063
Nira: It will be wrong on my part and I'll say that whilst Manoj has apologised yesterday our responsibility to you is to make sure that we correct it.
65
00:09:40,063 --> 00:09:52,941
Nira: Yaa! And we are correcting it by giving you someone who has the skill set to handle it and who will handle only you. She has other accounts also but she will handle only you... so that you are not... then when we have other issues on insider trading.

Nira: Hello!
Jehangir: Maam, it was Anil, Anil's son.
3
00:00:12,255 --> 00:00:16,096
Nira: Anil's son?
Jehangir: Yes.
Nira: Very good. Is that happened?
4
00:00:16,096 --> 00:00:23,007
Jehangir: What very good <i>babu</i>?
Nira: What? ...<i>Nai na, bar bar</i> (No na, everytime)... they are only after us<i> na</i>, everytime they have been after us.
5
00:00:23,007 --> 00:00:28,384
Jehangir: I said don't say that if someone's got hurt and that his boy has been in an accident then that person is hurt.
6
00:00:28,384 --> 00:00:35,808
Jehangir: Anyway I am just telling you so don't stress about it and there is some DCP in Bombay, it's in Cuffe Parade.
7
00:00:35,808 --> 00:00:40,672
Jehangir: This case is in Cuffe Parade right now so a guy is gone to find out.
Nira: It is coming on channel?
8
00:00:40,672 --> 00:00:48,352
Man - No, I have not put it on the channel. I don't think that that is what I want to do but since we talked about it I am just telling you.
9
00:00:48,352 --> 00:00:59,616
Nira: So it is Anil's son?
Jehangir: Anil's car which had an accident and then he ran away and then this driver came out of the blue and surrendered.
10
00:00:59,616 --> 00:01:13,952
Nira: Ok.
Jehangir: So our criminal correspondent spoke to the DCP and they said off the record they said that boss it was very suspicious because the car hit this guy, ran away and suddenly this driver came...
11
00:01:13,952 --> 00:01:19,328
Jehangir: ...And usually when that happens, it is usually the <i>seth</i> (boss)... you know it is just like what, you know the story right.
12
00:01:19,328 --> 00:01:28,032
Nira: Yes!
Jehangir: So they are saying the same thing. So they had off the record called us, so they called me and said Mukesh Ambani.
13
00:01:28,032 --> 00:01:41,088
Jehangir: So I said listen, be very careful with the child's life and verifying and sources and then I called you and then in the mean time they also called me and said that it is a mistake, it is Anil.
14
00:01:41,088 --> 00:01:48,256
Jehangir: I said still still who ever his son, doesn't matter. That's not the point. The point is you can't say something like this about someone just randomly you know.
15
00:01:48,256 --> 00:01:57,216
Jehangir: So you collect your proof and you make sure your sources and very 100% watertight and make sure it was an accident of... If it was a genuine accident, then there is no story.
16
00:01:57,216 --> 00:02:05,152
Jehangir: People may have a genuine accident but if he was driving rashly or drunk or something then if you can confirm that then we will think about it as a story.
17
00:02:05,152 --> 00:02:10,719
Nira: Right, Ok. Ok. Fair enough. I'll just let them know. Ok,bye.

Manoj: Hmm!

16
00:02:05,919 --> 00:02:10,782
Nira: We are still waiting for you to give me a decision on PTI. Do we blacklist them or don't we blacklist them?
17
00:02:10,782 --> 00:02:20,767
Manoj: Hmm! <i>Theek hai</i> (Ok).
Nira: Are you going to work with Tatas to get them blacklisted? So when two of the largest groups of companies stop using PTI, maybe we have... Do we have an alternative to PTI?

00:02:45,343 --> 00:02:57,119
Nira: You go into it. There is a whole plan waiting for her execution. It cannot be based on Bombay Times. As I have mentioned. You go into it in a very this thing...
22
00:02:57,119 --> 00:03:12,045

Manoj: I didn't realise that the headline in Delhi is different than what has come in Bombay on that ET story.
Nira: Yes.

Manoj: In Bombay it is Petro-Minister to meet on KG Gas. I didn't realise what has come in Delhi.
4
00:00:30,944 --> 00:00:39,136
Manoj: I just checked and realised that Reliance Gas doesn't find takers kind of a thing.
Nira:Yes.
5
00:00:39,136 --> 00:00:45,792
Manoj: We have spoken to the journalist and we have asked them to discuss it with her desk saying what nonsense is this.
6
00:00:45,792 --> 00:00:56,800
Manoj: Because it is not a question of we not finding takers, it is a question of the restrictive policy and that is what the Bombay guys have said that who is the Petro-Minister is meeting to discuss this issue?
7
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:01,152
Nira: Yes.
Manoj: So she said that yes, I'll discuss it.
8
00:01:01,152 --> 00:01:16,768
Nira: That's the point I am trying to make Manoj that they are in control of the debt and therefore may I suggest that you send me a mail giving this highlight so I can send it to Rahul Joshi and tell him that you have a serious problem at your desk in Delhi and I have been trying to tell you this before.
9
00:01:16,768 --> 00:01:29,568
Manoj: Ok.
Nira: This is the story that appeared in Bombay, what is discussed and what is being carried and therefore I do believe that there is something wrong with the desk and I have been trying to tell you this before. You need to check it out.
10
00:01:29,568 --> 00:01:36,223
Manoj: Ok, I'll do this.
Nira: Explaining the whole issue so you send it to me so that I can send it to him and explain.

Nira: What is the context of the story and the headlines comes out with a completely... The thing is that, that is the impression it creates no Manoj?
12
00:01:45,183 --> 00:01:55,167
Manoj: Ok. I know... That is why i called you back immediately after I realised because I didn't realise that this was the headline that had come in the paper. Ok. I'll just send you this.
13
00:01:55,167 --> 00:02:04,639
Nira: Yes, but this confirms my suspicion that there is no control of the desk in Delhi.
14
00:02:04,639 --> 00:02:18,975
Nira: And of course their attempt of the gas price, of not having any takers and therefore reducing the price is more valid no?
Manoj: Of course.
Nira: You can imply that in your mail <i>na</i>?
Manoj: Yes.
15
00:02:18,975 --> 00:02:32,799
Nira: You can say that there are those that have been fighting litigation battles for bringing the price of gas down and such headlines suit them best.
Manoj: Ok.
16
00:02:32,799 --> 00:02:47,647
Nira: And you can send a...
Manoj: ET<i> main ek </i> edit <i>aaya hai</i> (What about an edit that has come in ET) which I am planning to write to Venu directly saying that it is an incorrect edit after I run it past PMS in terms of mail to him saying that it is a wrong perspective gained...
17
00:02:47,647 --> 00:02:56,608

18
00:02:56,608 --> 00:03:10,687
Manoj: I'll just draft the mail and send it to PMS so that you can just approve it.
Nira: But I am surprised that you have not done that. I am very surprised. When did that appear?
19
00:03:10,687 --> 00:03:21,183
Manoj: Today, Today!
Nira: Ok. I have not seen it. I saw that only the Raja Spectrum and Kanimozhi one. I think you should shoot off a mail to Venu with a copy to me straight away.
20
00:03:21,183 --> 00:03:26,559
Manoj: I don't want to factually be wrong so I'll just run it past him and then send it to him.
21
00:03:26,559 --> 00:03:37,055
Nira: Ok. But Manoj, but send it pretty quickly and (inaudible) both the articles. OK! Bombay and Delhi.
Manoj: Sure, I'll get back to you immediately but I'll just...
22
00:03:37,055 --> 00:03:41,839

17

19
00:02:05,919 --> 00:02:22,047
Tarun: Basically discussing some strategy issues and then now I am going to meet the CII president Joel Ball and then I have to head back to Gudgoan. I have somebody coming there at 7 o'clock. I am actually running very late now.
20
00:02:22,047 --> 00:02:27,167

Tarun: Ok.
21

Tarun: Sunday night I am leaving I'll be back on Tuesday morning.
22
00:02:31,776 --> 00:02:36,639
Nira: So i am there Tuesday. In any case and your decision you are still standing by it?
23
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:57,119
Tarun: Yes, yes! Absolutely. I just told Montek. He wanted me to tell the PM also, I'll do that. We were discussing... One part of the meeting was whether there are any implications of this government relationship with me and he said no.
24
00:02:57,119 --> 00:03:03,263
Tarun: We actually work with you and look at you in your personal capacity.
Nira: That's right I would have thought so.
25
00:03:03,263 --> 00:03:18,367
Tarun: Otherwise sort of seen you like that because that is the way we have treated it not as CII. You know that you have that link. I said that link will still be there but I won't have that designation.
26
00:03:18,367 --> 00:03:35,263
Tarun: So he said what designation will you have. So I am president of ASPEN Institute, India and I am still chairman of Haldia Petro Chemicals and in fact the Prime Minister has nominated me on the Japan-India CEO's forum as chairman of Haldia Petro Chemicals.
27
00:03:35,263 --> 00:03:41,151
Tarun: So I said yeah, no we are very comfortable with it.
Nira: So at the end of the day it is your personal capacity no?
28
00:03:41,151 --> 00:03:53,951
Tarun: And actually he was wanting me to do more stuff. Get more active in, you know, from behind on the industry side and the economic side. So I want to do that sort of stuff you know.
29
00:03:53,951 --> 00:04:04,192
Nira: That is a good thing and I am really glad.
Tarun: Because there is some trust here and I enjoy policy work. I like that and...
30
00:04:04,192 --> 00:04:13,664
Nira: Yaa, yaa, so do I loved... Well if you need any help you always got the neighbour's secretary.
Tarun: I know that, I always recommend you. You know that.
31
00:04:13,664 --> 00:04:29,279
Nira: No, no! And of course when it is working with you personally then it is probono <i>na</i>? That is always there, anything. But I am preparing for the announcement. The Monday announcement is... Maybe we will do the announcement for Tuesday no?
32
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:47,455
Tarun: Yes, maybe. Let him get it for his board meeting tomorrow there because he has to go into the board now. I believe the president of AII is reacting a lot to my exit but that's what I am going to go and tell him.
33
00:04:47,455 --> 00:04:57,695
Tarun: I have written a letter and all that and it is all gone in writing but now I have to listen to his please stay, please stay kind of crap.
Nira: Yes I know he is going to do that.
34
00:04:57,695 --> 00:05:12,544
Tarun: But they don't understand me, no. They don't understand what I am like. I am not like a normal business man, private sector thing you know.I am happy to be nobody actually. And I am happy to be on my own and do my thing...
35
00:05:12,544 --> 00:05:22,015
Nira: But you have been that. You have your own position. But you know they are having PC on Monday on the budget and I don't want them to mix this up with it.
Tarun: Yes, yes! Sure! Sure!
36
00:05:22,015 --> 00:05:29,440
Nira: This has to be treated very separately and so...
Tarun: There is a meeting on the budget. Finance minister is meeting all the industrialists. Is Ratan coming?
37
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:38,656
Nira: I don't think so. He is going off to the U.S. tonight.
Tarun: Ok. So he won't be... I don't suppose Mukesh might come.
38
00:05:38,656 --> 00:05:47,359
Nira: He is completely detached. I think Mukesh might come. But he has completely detached himself from all this.
Tarun: Right. That is a pity actually. That is a pity.

Nira: Yaa! He was a bit too nervous about what is going to happen to Telecom but now that Maran is not there he is happy.
Tarun: But Raja is there. Raja has a good equation with him.
40
00:05:57,343 --> 00:06:09,119
Nira: No, no! Raja is good. He is happy with Raja. He was very worried till the announcement happened yesterday and a bit shocking for Kamal Nath.
Tarun: But that is a good job. He needs to build some roads.
41
00:06:09,119 --> 00:06:18,847
Nira: No also I think he needed to be told that he had gone a bit overboard.
Tarun: Yes. This is a very strong message to him.
42
00:06:18,847 --> 00:06:39,071
Nira: But what do you make of Anand Sharma?
Tarun: I know him reasonalbly well. Not too well. But we will have to brief him, educate him. He is new to this whole industry area. But he is a trusted person.
43
00:06:39,071 --> 00:06:48,799
Tarun: And he has worked hard in this system. So it is a bit of a surprise. But it is good. They have been thinking out of the box for a few names.
44
00:06:48,799 --> 00:06:56,479
Tarun: Like Kamal Nath was also a surprise. Road Transport. But between you and me, I had suggested him for it.
Nira: I would have thought so.
45
00:06:56,479 --> 00:07:14,143
Tarun: I had suggested it big time. Because highway construction, road construction is really a priority. He is a doer. You can make your 15% on this. So you can do national service and also make money. You know what I mean?
Nira:Hmm!
46
00:07:14,143 --> 00:07:24,895
Tarun: And do some thing really worthwhile here because Balu has screwed us for five years.
Nira: Yes! This is still an ATM for Kamal Nath no?
47
00:07:24,895 --> 00:07:37,951
Tarun: Yes! Absolutely. Anyways you have a good trip and we will talk when you get back.
Nira: I will and I will pray for you and I will see you on Tuesday then. You know one more thing I wanted to ask you. India Brand Equity foundation.
48
00:07:37,951 --> 00:07:45,376
Tarun- Yes.
Nira: Pillai... My team presented on Wednesday. Pillai has already made up his mind about Dilip Cherian.
49
00:07:45,376 --> 00:08:02,015
Tarun: <i>Acha!</i>
Nira: I was surprised. I was quite surprised. My team tells me they were least interested in the presentation although Suhail had indicated that we were still far more in the reckoning and he said I had seen all the other presentations and they were pretty bad.
50
00:08:02,015 --> 00:08:14,048
Nira: But my focus is more on the IBS because I do believe that I can't be lying by saying that I will keep on building India. India will get built as a result of IBS also upping its ante.
51
00:08:14,048 --> 00:08:19,167
Nira: I think this whole thing about saying it will only be India first doesn't always work.
Tarun: Yes!
52
00:08:19,167 --> 00:08:22,239
Nira: India is there. You can never ignore it.
Tarun: I didn't go for that meeting.
53
00:08:22,239 --> 00:08:30,944
Nira: No, I just wanted to let you know that that happened, so they gave it to Cherian and when my team went to present there were hardly even interested in listening to the presentation.
54
00:08:30,944 --> 00:08:37,870
Tarun: Ok. I'll find out. Let me find out.
Nira: No I just wonder whether Pillai had a good equation with Cherian which made it happen.
55
00:08:37,870 --> 00:08:38,637
Tarun: Must be, must be.
Nira: Not to worry.

2
00:00:16,864 --> 00:00:19,935
Yatish: Good morning ma'am!
Nira: Yatish!
Yatish: Yes ma'am.
3
00:00:19,935 --> 00:00:28,895
Nira: Yatish! <i>Ek kam karo.</i> (Do one thing). Speak to Chandar firstly. Monday morning we have a conference call with Hari and Raja to freeze on that budget.
4
00:00:28,895 --> 00:00:35,296
Nira: And I told them yesterday because salaries for NewsX had to be released last night without the budget being approved.
5
00:00:35,296 --> 00:00:48,864
Nira: So I have told them that we need to freeze on all this and I also indicated to him that we must have this meeting as a conference call on Monday itself because... <i>Kal yaha pe</i> vendors turn up <i>ho gaye the. Police le kar aa gaye the. Bahut sara tamasha hua hai NewsX mein.</i> (...yesterday all the vendors turned up here with the police. There was a lot of commotion at NEWSX.)
6
00:00:48,864 --> 00:00:57,312
Yatish: Ok!
Nira: So basically what you have to do is send a mail to all saying that we are going to have a conference call and we are waiting for Hari to confirm a time when Raja will be free to discuss the budget.
7
00:00:57,312 --> 00:01:01,920
Nira: Please can everybody tell us what time is convinient to them in the afternoon, right.
8
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:16,768
Yatish: Hmm!
Nira: <i>Chandar se bath kar ke...</i> (Talk to Chandar and...) ...the list of creditors... Also write that the creditors need to be cleared and all the one time items should be discussed so that we can't have people turning up at the office. Vendors are turning up with cops at the office now, you know?
9
00:01:17,024 --> 00:01:28,543
Yatish: Ok!
Nira: But the thing is that we want to say there are one time items that we had talked about... What are the one time items we had discussed? First and most critical is also to discuss on Monday is the clearing of all creditors, past creditors.
10
00:01:28,543 --> 00:01:37,503
Yatish: Ok!
Nira: Right ? And therefore what is the time line and how do they want to play with that? And that is to be separated from the operational budget that will be discussed on Monday. Right?
11
00:01:37,503 --> 00:01:44,928
Yatish: Ok!
Nira: Now the one time items that need discussion on Monday would be the clearing of creditors, previous creditors before we took over the company.
12
00:01:44,928 --> 00:01:53,888
Nira: What are the other issues one time you want to discuss? Distribution we have dissolved already, we are going to this thing as a budget. There is no need to discuss that as a one time item.
Yatish: Ok!
13
00:01:53,888 --> 00:02:08,478
Man - (Inaudible)... Let us keep some standard definitions...........(inaudible)
Nira: What's the company called?

Yatish: Ok!
15
00:02:17,183 --> 00:02:28,447
Nira: And right sizing of operations. He is a consultant that we had talked in the last meeting. We had decided not to go forward with SL but looked at this one.
16
00:02:28,447 --> 00:02:40,991
Nira: His job will be three things. Yatish!
Yatish: Yaa!
Nira: Transition, planning... Transition on HD to SB. Second?
17
00:02:40,991 --> 00:02:56,863
Man - Review and right sizing of operations.
Nira: Review and right sizing of operations in terms of technologies and people. <i>Vo jo hamara objectives jo tha SL Sham ka vo unhone kiya nahi tha.</i> (The objectives which we had of SL Sham that they did not do.) And the third thing?
18
00:02:56,863 --> 00:03:01,727
Man - Work flow process planning.
Nira: Work flow process planning.
Yatish: Ok
19
00:03:01,727 --> 00:03:17,087

Yatish: Ok!
Nira: Five lacs is the fee. One time not monthly. It is a one time five lac fee. He will do it in two weeks.
20
00:03:17,087 --> 00:03:25,791
Yatish: Ok!
Nira: Ok! So we have taken him on to clear that. This would be part of the discussions that we will have.

Yatish: Wide Consultants?
Nira: Wide Angle.
Yatish: Wide Angle.
22
00:03:30,399 --> 00:03:37,567
Nira: <i>Haan</i> Yes! Also then <i>Chandar se bhi baat kar. Chandar ko bol list of creditors tum ko abhi bhijvade...</i> (Talk to Chandar also. Tell him to send the list of creditors to you.)
23
00:03:37,567 --> 00:03:42,430
Yatish: <i>Ap ke mail pe aaye te vaise priority karke kal parso...</i> (It had come on your mail saying priority yesterday or day-before...)
24
00:03:42,430 --> 00:03:55,487
Nira: <i>Ek second hold kar</i> (One second hold the line)
Nira: Yatish you are on speaker phone, huh!
Yatish: <i>Nahi nahi...</i> (No, No...) I am on normal.
25
00:03:55,487 --> 00:03:58,304
Nira: No, no, I am, I am. I have put you on...
26
00:03:58,304 --> 00:04:13,664
Man - Yatish, the thing to say is that this guy from Wide Angle, Rahul Kulsheshtra will come in and he will submit his report on the three parameters which I told you but after that is over we will come face to face with the issue of how do we handle Zoom and India Sign.
27
00:04:13,664 --> 00:04:19,807
Man - They have to take back equipment. How do we renegotiate with them or whether we just stop paying them.
Yatish: Hmm!
28
00:04:19,807 --> 00:04:26,975
Man - That issue you know that Vinay was going to talk to Zoom and figure out <i>na</i> ?
Yatish: <i>Haan</i> Yes!
Man - That issue will now come to our head.
29
00:04:26,975 --> 00:04:33,631
Yatish: Right.
Man - And the Bombay equipment is already been parceled because that we couldn't give back, they didn't think of that.
Yatish: Hmm!
30
00:04:33,631 --> 00:04:42,591
Man - So the Bombay equipment has been parceled and put into storage.
Yatish: Ok!
Man - So that equipment is actually already brought things to our head.
Yatish: Hmm!
31
00:04:42,591 --> 00:04:51,040
Man - Then... After this based on what the report says we will have to actually implement it obviously.
Yatish: Right!
32
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:55,647
Man - Negotiate with Zoom great but if we don't we will have to go with SL Sham.
Yatish: Hmm!
33
00:04:55,647 --> 00:05:03,839
Nira: I don't want the focus to shift in the meeting on that. Yatish you say that it is done and Jehangir will take what ever necessary operational discussions... (Unclear).
34
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,936
Man - Limited point here is that the discussion with Zoom and India Sign have to get done.
35
00:05:07,936 --> 00:05:21,759
Nira: ... Have to tell us what is the status as far as that is concerned. But the critical factor is dealing with the past creditors and making sure we separate the two budgets from operation to that.
36
00:05:21,759 --> 00:05:27,135
Nira: I don't want to sit in the cabin and discuss for two hours and we discuss one thing again and the budget is left.
37
00:05:27,135 --> 00:05:32,768
Yatish: <i>Theek Hai</i> Ok!
Nira: I want this meeting to... And you can say that the meeting should not last for more than half an hour.
Yatish: Ok!
38
00:05:32,768 --> 00:05:43,519
Nira: Actually it will only take us half an hour to work it out. We are already talking so... Raja will brief on the call. Please let us know what time that call will be, huh?
39
00:05:43,519 --> 00:05:49,664
Nira: Let's not get into anything beyond the budget on that day because otherwise funds and not going to come in.
Yatish: <i>Haan, Theek hai</i> (Yes, Ok)
40
00:05:49,664 --> 00:05:53,503
Nira: You saw how their process works Yatish.
Yatish: <i>Budget me revenue be discuss hogi ke nahi?</i> (Will the revenue also be discussed in the budget or not?)
41
00:05:53,503 --> 00:05:58,880
Man -Hmm?
Yatish: Revenue?
Nira: <i>Haan, vo distribution ke sath linked hai</i> (Yes that is linked with the distribution.)
42
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:05,279
Yatish: <i>Theek hai. Nahi par us din table per vo kar rehay hai na? Ho sakta hai...</i> (Ok. No but on that day they are doing that on the table na? so may be...) ... but these people will try and stretch... <i>ke revenue pe kya ho reha hai?</i> (... what is happening on the revenue?)
43
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:11,423
Nira: <i>Mai ne tho already kal Raja aur Hari ko bol deya hai</i> (I have already told Raja and Hari yesterday.) <i>Mai ne us din jab Bombay me meliti mai ne use samjadeya hai...</i> (That day when I met them only I explained to them...).
44
00:06:11,423 --> 00:06:16,544
Yatish: Hmm!
Nira: <i>Ke agar mera reach he nahi hai tho mai advertising kahase lekar aa ungi...</i> (That if my reach only is not there then how will I get advertising.)
Yatish: <i>Theek hai</i> (Ok)
45
00:06:16,544 --> 00:06:24,223
Nira: I mean somebody is not going to give you advertising because they like your face <i>na</i>?
Yatish: We have to be on the same page <i>na</i> but... <i>ap ne betha deya hai tho theek hai.</i> (... If you have told them then it is ok.)
46
00:06:24,223 --> 00:06:28,832
Nira: <i>Vo already betha deya hai...</i> (I have already told them...) ... and you can reiterate that in your... ehh... this thing.
Yatish: Hmm!
47
00:06:28,832 --> 00:06:30,880
Nira: I have no issue with that.
Yatish: <i>Theek hai</i> (Ok.)
48
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:44,447
Nira: Because the commitment was based on the fact... Vinay had given us the fact that there was penetration. Don't write all this in the mail but Vinay in the meeting, you were not there in that meeting, had promised that distribution actually will be through on last month of the year.
49
00:06:44,447 --> 00:06:53,664
Nira: We are only found that to our horror that the fuck up with Sam that the guy... Our penetration has reduced...
Yatish: Reduced...
Nira: Yaa!
Yatish: <i>Haan</i> (Yes)
50
00:06:53,664 --> 00:06:59,807
Nira: <i>Haan...</i> (Yes...) so just... I am not concerned about that. That is Ok. I will handle that.
Yatish: <i>Theek hai</i> (Ok.)
51
00:06:59,807 --> 00:07:05,695
Nira: <i>Bejvado... creditors ka Chandar se bath karke...</i> (Send... Talk to Chandar and...) .... the creditors list must circulate before the conference call.
52
00:07:05,695 --> 00:07:06,975
Yatish: <i>Vo mai abi karva detha hu.</i> (I shall do that now.)
53
00:07:06,975 --> 00:07:15,423
Nira: So let's do it on a conference. You have video conference in your this thing...No, we don't want to do video from NewsX otherwise it will all come on the screen. So we will do a conference call.
Yatish: Tele. Ok.
54
00:07:15,423 --> 00:07:19,519
Nira: Ok Yatish, I am heading for Vaishno Devi <i>haan</i> (Ok). So I'll...
55
00:07:19,519 --> 00:07:22,335
Yatish: <i>Haan</i> (Ok) and safe journey. <i>Mere taraf se prashad cheda degye ga.</i> (Place an offering on my name.)
56
00:07:22,335 --> 00:07:26,687
Nira: <i> Vo definately karungi. Theek hai vo de deye na papers?</i> (I will definitely do that. Ok, those papers are given no?)
Yatish: <i>Haan, mei ne de deya hai.</i> (Yes I have given it.)
57
00:07:26,687 --> 00:07:35,647
Nira: <i> Muje sif ek missed call de de...</i> (Just give me a missed call...)... <i>Usko bol dena...</i> (Tell him that...) I couldn't call him back. <i>Mai abi kosish karti hu abi usko call karne ke leye nahi to use bol dena ke vo dek le mujhe phir.</i> (I will try to call him now if possible otherwise tell him to see me afterwards.)
58
00:07:35,647 --> 00:07:39,743
Nira: <i>... Monday Tatas ko mai ne nahi bulaya hai.</i> (... I have not called the Tatas on Monday.)
Yatish: <i>Acha</i> (Ok.)
59
00:07:39,743 --> 00:07:43,328
Nira: <i>Vo bol dena usko, janbuch ke nahi bulaya hai...</i> (Tell him that, purposely I haven't called them...) .... because he and I have not had the discussion yet.
60
00:07:43,328 --> 00:07:49,216
Yatish: <i>Theek hai</i> (Ok.) Ill tell him that.
Nira: <i>To Monday ke leye...</i> (So on Monday...) he was going to expect them at 12 o'clock. <i>Vo nahi hai</i> (That is not there.)
61
00:07:49,216 --> 00:07:52,287
Yatish: Some Shastri or someone.
Nira: <i>Haan, haan vo nahi aa reha hai. Theek hai.</i> (Yes, yes, he is not coming. Ok.)
62
00:07:52,287 --> 00:07:54,847
Yatish: <i>Theek Hai</i> (Ok.)
Nira: <i>Tho hum log pehile discuss kar lege Monday fir uske badh kar lege.</i> (So we will first discuss on Monday and then do it).
63
00:07:54,847 --> 00:08:00,479
Yatish: <i>Theek hai maam.</i> (Ok maam.)
Nira: <i>Aur vo jo mail tum ne J ko beja tha...</i> (And that mail that you had send to J ...) Both on Papa NIFTY and Cedelion.
64
00:08:00,479 --> 00:08:15,071
Yatish: <i>Haan</i> (Yes.)
Nira: That J is going to send you on my mail today the specifications of the Brazil mines as well as the company and the details and spec. from the port in terms of what capacity it has got.
65
00:08:15,071 --> 00:08:25,567
Yatish: Right.
Nira: It is quite an amazing thing. The second thing is that we are not really interested in the coal and eucalyptus plant. I mean the coal plant. That that....
Yatish: Eucalyptus based...
66
00:08:25,567 --> 00:08:34,783
Nira: We have a thing... We will specify that but he will put the whole thing together so if you need to forward it to NK Mishra...
Yatish: NK Mishra or Muthu Ramman?
67
00:08:34,783 --> 00:08:38,880
Nira: <i>Muthu Ramman ko bej dena aur NK Mishra ko copy kar dena.</i> (Send it to Muthu Ramman and copy it to NK Mishra.)
Yatish: Ok.
68
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:43,231
Nira: So if you have to forward that then you remove the name of the company.
Yatish: Ok.
69
00:08:43,231 --> 00:08:52,960
Nira: But it doesn't matter. I mean the only thing is that they will end up approaching directly. <i>Muje Tatas ka barosa nahi hota kabi.</i> (I never have faith in Tatas.) They are worse than... We think all the others are worse, they are even worse.
70
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:58,848
Yatish: <i>Theek hai.</i> (Ok.)
Nira: So I would just give him the specs.
Yatish: I'll do that Ok.
71
00:08:58,848 --> 00:09:05,247
Nira: And he is also going to send you the specs for...
Yatish: Serria Leona and Senegal.
72
00:09:05,247 --> 00:09:09,856
Nira: <i>Toh Sanjay Nevatia ko jo be aaya hai Tata's se vo bhi forward kar dena uske mail pe.</i> (So what ever Sanjay Nevatia has been sent from the Tata's, forward that also on his mail.)
73
00:09:09,856 --> 00:09:17,279
Yatish: <i>Theek hai</i> (Ok.) I'll do that.
Nira: Yaa! So that should hopefully do it and lastly...<i>kya kehena ta tuje?</i> (what I wanted to tell you?)
74
00:09:17,279 --> 00:09:23,167
Nira: <i>Acha mere meeting ho gaye hai us se kal theek gaye hai, achi gaye hai. Mere firse meeting hai Monday.</i> (Ok, my meeting has been done with him, it went well. There is another meeting on Monday.)
Yatish: Ok!
75
00:09:23,167 --> 00:09:30,335
Nira: So I have to find a way of handling that. <i>Muje ek hi usme solution chai ee tho Mr. Baijan se bath kar lena.</i> (I need only one solution in that so talk to Mr Baijan.)
Yatish: <i>Haan</i> (Ok.)
76
00:09:30,335 --> 00:09:34,432
Nira: See if we were to bring everyone together.
Yatish: Ok.
77
00:09:34,432 --> 00:09:43,135
Nira: So COI and the CDMA operators together, which is the common ground. My sense... may be you can ask Mittal this, huh.
Yatish: Huh.
78
00:09:43,135 --> 00:09:47,486
Nira: <i>Mittal ko bolo tumare leye sabse... Bijal ko na pucho. Bijal confuse kar dega.</i> (Tell Mittal which is the most... Dont ask Bijal. He will confuse you.)
79
00:09:47,486 --> 00:09:53,375
Nira: <i>Mittal ko pucho ke sabse right policy mere hisab se toh 6.2 pe terminate hoti hai.</i> (Ask Mittal that the best policy as per me gets terminated at 6.2.)
Yatish: Hum!
80
00:09:53,375 --> 00:09:56,703
Nira: <i>Uske badh AGR increase hota hai jaha pe thum section vapas le nahi pao ge.</i> (After that AGR increases where you cannot take back the section.)
81
00:09:56,703 --> 00:10:12,062
Nira: <i>Aur Jo CDMA ka jo 5 Mhz hai. Usko jo tumara level playing field hai, usko sabko level playing field pe le aana.</i> (And the 5 Mhz of CDMA which is there, bring everything to that level playing field.) <i>Mittal ko kehena ke sir aap ko ek bar yad hoga ke jab licenses issue ho rehe te GSM ke tab hum ne ek proposal benaya tha.</i> (Tell Mittal that sir you might remember that when the licences were being issued for GSM, that time we had made a proposal.)
82
00:10:12,062 --> 00:10:17,950
Nira: <i>Hum 7.5 per le geye te ... (unclear).... 5 Mhz on CDMA.</i> (We had take to 7.5Mhz ....(unclear)... 5 Mhz on CDMA.)
Yatish: Ok!
83
00:10:17,950 --> 00:10:23,838
Nira: <i>Kuki abi tho sab trans work...</i> (Because now all the trans work...) ...Voice <i>ko</i> they will move on to 2G...
Yatish: Later.
84
00:10:23,838 --> 00:10:31,518
Nira: And they will put... ehh.. this thing... ehh... atleast the CDMA operators and they will use e-video.
Yatish: Correct.
85
00:10:31,518 --> 00:10:40,223
Nira: So they will benefit by having 5:7:5 on the assumption because they will not have to then bid for 3G.
Yatish: Correct.
86
00:10:40,223 --> 00:10:46,367
Nira: So they should have no problem then with GSM getting 7.5.
Yatish: Hmm! Ok.
87
00:10:46,367 --> 00:10:51,742
Nira: You understand ? That can be a possible formula... <i>... To ek bar Mittal se bath kar lena.</i> (... so talk to Mittal once.)
Yatish: Ok.
88
00:10:51,742 --> 00:10:52,599
Nira: Ok then we will discuss it on Monday.

Niira Radia: Hello.
Manoj Modi: Hi, Niira.

NR: Hi.
MM: How are you?
4
00:00:27,116 --> 00:00:32,818

MM: I'm fine. This, Raja is with me...
5
00:00:32,818 --> 00:00:41,266
NR: Uh huh.
MM: We were just discussing about this...our litigation, demerger and some other PIL he has in mind.
6
00:00:41,266 --> 00:00:53,308
NR: <i>Haan.</i>
MM: Now this NGO, you are sure no, because see, we have this one NGO, that Ramjibhai Mavani, who had done earlier for our power business...
7
00:00:53,308 --> 00:00:58,305
NR: <i>Haan.</i> (Yes.)
MM: And second, the one that you have identified from Delhi.
8
00:00:58,305 --> 00:01:03,706
NR: Hmm.
MM: So I am fine with either, whatever is your comfort and preference.
9
00:01:03,706 --> 00:01:16,898
NR: Well my feedback on these people is quite good, I mean, I've understood them and they're quite okay, I don't get a sense that there is anything uh...I don't think there's anything to worry about.
10
00:01:16,898 --> 00:01:38,846
MM: <i>Haan,</i> so, because see, like this Rajkot guys <i>toh</i> we know that nothing will go wrong, and here also even if it doesn't go wrong, it is better to have a new person involved. But if you have even iota of doubt then we should look here, because this is going to be a very high-profile and high-tensile case.
11
00:01:38,846 --> 00:01:50,238
NR: Well, they are already registered <i>na,</i> Manoj, with the uh...they are a registered NGO.
MM: No, that is fine, registered NGO is fine, but they should not back out <i>na,</i> (no,) at a later -
12
00:01:50,238 --> 00:02:03,876
NR: No, Manoj, I...to be honest with you, I don't know them personally, I know the guy, though. I've had him spoken to from somebody very, very...who he listens to and I don't think he'll ever go back on his word.
MM: You don't know them personally?
13
00:02:03,876 --> 00:02:25,434
NR: No, I know who...the guy who owns the...one of them, I know one of them, there are five of them there. The other gentleman is a JNU guy, I don't think he'll backtrack. I think he's extremely credible from what I've got his reference check on him, they're serious guys. <i>Inhone</i> DLF <i>kiya tha,</i> DLF <i>ne pura inke upar zor laga liya tha, lekin unhone</i> revert...they did not go back. (They did DLF, DLF put pressure on them but they did not go back.) Even when they offered them money.
14
00:02:25,434 --> 00:02:40,027
MM: Why don't you do your due diligence and finally, I'll go...
NR: I've done, I've done that. That's why I only approached it when I did the due diligence. So when I saw <i>ki isne</i> DLF <i>ke saath</i> backtrack <i>nahin kiya hai</i> (So when I saw that they did not backtrack with DLF), and I know the sort of the pressure DLF had put on them...
15
00:02:40,027 --> 00:02:52,406
MM: Anyway, DLF <i>ka</i> pressure <i>ek rahta hai,</i> (Anyway, DLF's pressure is one thing,) you know I don't have to tell you anything about our guys <i>na,</i> our guys (put) more pressure.
NR: <i>Haan, haan,</i> (Yes, yes,) Manoj, my sense is very...how much time do we have?
16
00:02:52,406 --> 00:03:04,873
MM: (discusses with Raja) Raja?
Raja: (muffled) - next 2-3 days...
MM: Next 2-3 days, you have to decide, so I will go by your judgment finally. See I, I mean, we want to do 2-3-4 things, we have to...
17
00:03:04,873 --> 00:03:17,167
NR: Manoj <i>main usko</i> personally <i>nahin jaanti</i> but <i>mujhe</i> doubt <i>nahin hai uske upar.</i> (Manoj, I don't know him personally but I have no doubts about him.) I can tell you that because I think the guy's credible, comes from very credible background. And I don't think he's the sort of guy to manoeuvre.
18
00:03:17,167 --> 00:03:21,031
Raja/MM: Niira, if there is more than one, there should not be a pressure on others and all that, that is...
19
00:03:21,031 --> 00:03:40,065
NR: <i>Nahin nahin nahin nahin nahin</i> (No, no no no no no)...basically the key guys are three of them, of which I know one very well personally. That I can tell you <i>uska, woh kabhi nahin</i> backtrack <i>karega, doosra </i>JNU <i>ka hai,</i> very credible man, <i>sardar hai, woh hilega nahin aise. I don't think so <i>woh hilega.</i> Mujhe bilkul nahin uske upar</i> doubt. (That I can tell you about him, he will never backtrack, the other guy is from JNU, very credible man, he's a sardar, he won't waver. I have no doubts about him.)
20
00:03:40,065 --> 00:03:51,156
NR: <i>Aur</i>(And) the third guy is absolutely cool. And he knows my, one of my employees, Daljeet, very well. That's how this whole thing got put together. So when he came to me with the names, I did a check on them.
21
00:03:51,156 --> 00:04:04,117
NR: Then I made Sunil Arora talk to them, <i>kyunki woh</i> Sunil <i>ko bahut achchhi tarah se jaante hain</i> (because he knows Sunil very well). And I know when Sunil steps in...whenever he's given me a reference, he's never been wrong, Manoj. At least till today, I've never seen, <i>mujhe koi</i> doubt <i>nahin hai inpe.</i> (I have no doubts about them.)
22
00:04:04,117 --> 00:04:16,747
MM: Because see, just so that you know, when we were doing this Power, they had gone to Ramjibhai Mavani also. They had reached his home and taken all kinds of bags.
NR: <i>Haan, haan,</i> (Yes, yes) I understand that, I understand <i>woh karenge, maine yeh sab soch ke hi kiya tha</i> Manoj. (I understand that they'll do that, I thought about this and then took a course of action, Manoj.)
23
00:04:16,747 --> 00:04:43,536
MM: <i>Haan toh woh,</i> (Yes, so that), see because <i>kya hai,</i> in this case it is so important for us, you understand. So my preference is to do with them primarily because I don't want the same guy to do it directly, then another...we want to have another general feel/PIL (?) also that we will have uh them uh do it.
NR: <i>Donon se kar lete hain na </i>Manoj, <i>yeh bhi aayega na, yeh bhi to hai na.</i> (Let's get it done from both, no, Manoj. He'll also come no, he's there too.)
24
00:04:43,536 --> 00:04:52,230
MM: <i>Haan, haan,</i> means <i>apne ko toh do-teen cheez karni hai, to har ek cheez alag alag aadmi se lade toh</i> better <i>hai na.</i> (Yes yes, I mean, we have to do two-three things, so if we fight each thing with a different man, it'll be better, won't it.)
NR: <i>Better hai</i>,(It's better) much better, otherwise it doesn't become credible na?
25
00:04:52,230 --> 00:05:08,243
MM: That is what I'm saying, that is precisely what I'm saying. <i>Isliye aap ek baar phir bhi,</i> (So for this reason you please once more) you...finish your Vaishno Devi visit. And then during that time you just assess it once more, in your mind also, doesn't matter, you think about it.
NR: Okay.
26
00:05:08,243 --> 00:05:18,516
MM: Then Raja will go ahead and file, because Raja, I'm giving him all the green signal for going and getting all the documents ready and petitions ready and everything.
NR: Hmm.
27
00:05:18,516 --> 00:05:25,840
MM: Hmm?
NR: Hmm, perfect, what I'll do is I'll also talk to my team also, and I'll speak to Sunil one more time, <i>mujhe</i> (I) -

Radia: 'Hello!', ya, ya ya...
32
00:01:44,430 --> 00:01:54,943
Shrini: Ok. Aa.. but the unedited one went on the blog, which we knew that had gone on the blog, because I had pointed out immediately saying the unedited version she had put it up on her blog, and her blog I can't do anything...
33
00:01:54,943 --> 00:01:56,509
Radia: Shobhaa?
34
00:01:56,509 --> 00:01:57,342
Shrini: Haan.
35
00:01:57,342 --> 00:02:01,875
Radia: No, the point I'm making is that your agreement was with Hello! Magazine and not with Shobhaa De...
36
00:02:01,875 --> 00:02:03,779
Shrini: No, it wasn't with Shobhaa De.
37
00:02:03,779 --> 00:02:09,817
Radia: Right? And therefore Hello! Magazine is responsible that the any interview that is done
38
00:02:09,817 --> 00:02:10,333
Shrini: Hm.
39
00:02:10,333 --> 00:02:10,919
Radia: Based...is remains with Hello! and doesn't get put out anywhere else? It is not Shobhaa De's propriety, no?
40
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:18,294
Shrini: Hmmif .
41
00:02:18,294 --> 00:02:27,781
Radia: Am I right? I mean, the agreement, if I was to look at today, whenever you do anything, if the agreement is between you and Hello! magazine, who they nominate to do that interview is entirely up to them.
42
00:02:27,781 --> 00:02:28,526
Shrini: Correct. Huh.
43
00:02:28,526 --> 00:02:31,764
Radia: And therefore the onus falls on Hello! magazine.
44
00:02:31,764 --> 00:02:32,921
Shrini: Hm.
45
00:02:32,921 --> 00:02:37,945
Radia: And it was for Hello! magazine to make sure that she has to take the blog off.
46
00:02:37,945 --> 00:02:39,242
Shrini: Hmm.
47
00:02:39,242 --> 00:02:40,733
Radia: That's the first thing. The second this is...
48
00:02:40,733 --> 00:02:49,757
Shrini: See, see, then we should have actually taken this stance when Shobhaa De put it out on her blog saying it's not your personal propriety your asked for, it's Hello! magazine.
49
00:02:49,757 --> 00:02:51,244
Radia: How long ago was it...?
50
00:02:51,244 --> 00:02:53,529
Shrini: Two months ago.
51
00:02:53,529 --> 00:02:56,680
Radia: Shrini, it's the first time I'm hearing it went up on the blog...
52
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:01,934
Shrini: No, no Manoj is aware two months ago it went on the blog. Immediately after it went on the blog...
53
00:03:01,934 --> 00:03:03,789
Radia: Huh..
54
00:03:03,789 --> 00:03:11,667
Shrini: Nitabhabhi had told all of us, why don't you guys meet up with Society, because Society is one place where i'm aa very aa concerned that they would do something nasty.
55
00:03:11,667 --> 00:03:12,835
Radia: Huh...
56
00:03:12,835 --> 00:03:17,449
Shrini:Ok? And she's upset cause apparently the meeting was scheduled with Society....
57
00:03:17,449 --> 00:03:20,382
Radia: Hmm...
58
00:03:20,382 --> 00:03:25,853
Shrini: And aa then aa the person was invited, to the.. to our new formed office and they didn't meet.
59
00:03:25,853 --> 00:03:27,220
Radia: Hmm...
60
00:03:27,220 --> 00:03:31,986
Shrini: So she says, that would have cheezed them off that that's why they did aa nasty one pager.
61
00:03:31,986 --> 00:03:35,095
Radia: No, why didn't we meet, any idea?
62
00:03:35,095 --> 00:03:43,938
Shrini: No, idea, seriously no idea. I mean I wasn't even aware that we didn't meet (Radia clearing throat) yesterday. That is what aa she is aa what she is very upset about.
63
00:03:43,938 --> 00:03:48,985
Radia: Hm. And what has come in Society, please tell me, what exactly has come. It's the entire article?
64
00:03:48,985 --> 00:04:10,296
Shrini: No, I haven't seen. No see, what they've done is uncredited... uncut, edited version apparently, they said aa, why is this aa been aa, why has this been aa edited, (voices in the background) why has this been edited? So, those kind of things is what they've put. Let me get a copy of Society, yesterday I tried in the news stand next to my house, I didn't get it.
65
00:04:10,296 --> 00:04:12,009
Radia: Hm.
66
00:04:12,009 --> 00:04:13,796
Shrini: I'll try and get it from here.
67
00:04:13,796 --> 00:04:27,092
Radia: Ok. Now there are two things as far as Society's concerned, which is what I told Manoj Warrier, yesterday, was very briefly when I got through to him, was, Society, you know, that Tina Ambani and Nari Hira have a different relationship and there is a financial relationship in place.
68
00:04:27,092 --> 00:04:28,233
Shrini: Hm.
69
00:04:28,233 --> 00:04:30,162
Radia: Are you aware of that, I don't know whether you are aware of that?
70
00:04:30,162 --> 00:04:31,406
Shrini: No, I'm not aware of that. No, I'm not aware.
71
00:04:31,406 --> 00:04:42,471
Radia: Ya, but there is for a fact, atleast for a fact that I understand that there is a financial relationship, why he needs the financial relationship I do not know, but unfortunately this is how they've been working and they have a very good understanding.
72
00:04:42,471 --> 00:04:43,799
Shrini: Hm.
73
00:04:43,799 --> 00:04:49,582
Radia: So I had indicated to Manoj, that whenever you approach Society, you have to, you cannot just go and tell them I'll to give you two ads because it's not going to work.
74
00:04:49,582 --> 00:04:50,131
Shrini: Hm.
75
00:04:50,131 --> 00:05:02,114
Radia: Are we prepared to engage with Society in a different manner? MidDay is totally under control, so you don't need to worry Shrini, because on Midday one is able to use their own relationships and particularly the relationships of the ones that we have through TATAs.
76
00:05:02,114 --> 00:05:03,768
Shrini: Ok. Hm.
77
00:05:03,768 --> 00:05:14,343
Radia: So, (clears throat) we also need to have some currency to go out there in the market and and have the relationship when it comes to a Reliance which is why I've been talking to MDA for the presentation and moving forward in a proactive way...
78
00:05:14,343 --> 00:05:15,111
Shrini: Hm.
79
00:05:15,111 --> 00:05:22,632
Radia:...because, (clears throat) you are sitting there just pushing negative stuff, or trying to block stuff and in exchange we're not giving them any other new stories
80
00:05:22,632 --> 00:05:22,937
Shrini: Hm.
81
00:05:22,937 --> 00:05:26,782
Radia: You know at the end of the day the media also works on certain...certain basis...so..
82
00:05:26,782 --> 00:05:28,316
Shrini: Ok. See I'll tell you... see see
83
00:05:28,316 --> 00:05:29,528
Radia: Uh huh..
84
00:05:29,528 --> 00:05:31,582
Shrini: What's her point, where she's coming from is...
85
00:05:31,582 --> 00:05:31,960
Radia: Um mm
86
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:47,138
Shrini: Saying, ok fine, I asked you to do a aaa story in aa Bombay times on that school, which is not possible. Manoj took a call rightly or wrongly saying that if he's not sure that he's going to get a good prominent place he doesn't want to do that.
87
00:05:47,138 --> 00:05:48,657
Radia: Hmm.
88
00:05:48,657 --> 00:06:10,326
Shrini: Right? So, uhm, he says, I'm not getting any positive stories but atleast, I mean, negative stories can't be blocked, especially when I've told, saying Society I'm worried and a meeting was fixed and you guys didn't meet. She's coming from that angle. She's very upset on the fact that, I mean, she had pointed out twice, thrice, the meeting was fixed and you guys still didn't meet.
89
00:06:10,326 --> 00:06:21,325
Radia: Hmm. (Sigh). Ok. Let me have a word with him. You want to give me aa aa aa ten fifteen minutes to speak to Manoj first and then you want to connect a call or how do you want to do that?
90
00:06:21,325 --> 00:06:23,053
Shrini: Well, I think you should speak to Manoj first.
91
00:06:23,053 --> 00:06:23,101
Radia: Ya
92
00:06:23,101 --> 00:06:25,416
Shrini: Fifteen minutes, twenty minutes is ok.
93
00:06:25,416 --> 00:06:26,207
Radia: Ya. And then you'll connect me on

16
00:00:59,682 --> 00:01:08,531

22
00:01:36,276 --> 00:01:45,012

23
00:01:45,012 --> 00:01:49,058

RKC: Okay.
NR: Or they will provide say, certain wards, they'll build certain wards or something. So the letter that we have to do, it's not a cheque-cheque that we give, we actually have to give a letter, and based on that letter, when they start working on the hospital, on certain areas that I decided, between the wards or equipment, then those disbursements start happening.

Ratan Tata: Yeah, so if there's something, I can call you from the airport when we get there
Niira Radia: No, no nothing urgent. I just wanted to let you know that the indicative term-sheet has gone off to CRN Ravi
Ratan Tata: OK
7
00:01:13,952 --> 00:01:30,080

12
00:02:01,312 --> 00:02:17,695
Ratan Tata: Yeah. It didn't do anything one way or another. I guess the only concern I have is that I understand that Maran is going hammer and tongs for Raja. And I hope Raja doesn't trip or slip or...
13
00:02:17,695 --> 00:02:25,375
Niira Radia: No, he hasn't, because the chief justice has issued a statement that no minister called the high court judge.
Ratan Tata: Oh, really?
14
00:02:25,375 --> 00:02:34,847
Niira Radia: The Chief Justice of India has issued that statement. So that is clarified. And in any case that did not happen and Maran is made to look a little bit of a fool.
Ratan Tata: Okay.
15
00:02:34,847 --> 00:02:43,295
Niira Radia: And, in any case, if something did happen, as far as that is concerned, it would bring Kani (Kanimozhi) into that position, not Maran.
Ratan Tata: Okay.
16
00:02:43,295 --> 00:02:50,463

Ratan Tata: Okay.
17
00:02:50,463 --> 00:03:02,239
Niira Radia: It was in any case, it was actually the president of the bar association who said "I know the minister" in an open court and the judge said don't bring the cabinet minister's influence in my court"
Ratan Tata: Okay.
18
00:03:02,239 --> 00:03:13,216

00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:34,272
Suhel Seth: Anyway you were right about what you said about that other person doing the mischief.
Niira Radia: Hmm..
Suhel Seth: (Coughs)
6
00:00:34,272 --> 00:00:55,776
Suhel Seth: Yesterday I met this lady called Heather Timmons, you know of the New York Times? So she said that apparently those guys are really going all out ha.. and I had a word with Jaitly also, when I got back. I was going to meet these guys for dinner on Sunday night but I was in no shape.
7
00:00:55,776 --> 00:01:09,088
Suhel Seth: In fact yesterday Ryan also dropped by because I was in no shape to go anywhere. And I told him that this is what Niira's said.. I just don't know.. you forwarded that SMS to me..
8
00:01:09,088 --> 00:01:19,840
Suhel Seth: I have also done my own investigation.. I said that how many bloody investigations do you do where everything is wrong? You said you have done investigations.. He said <i>nahi nahi...mereko yeh bola gaya</i> (I was told so.)
9
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:29,824
Suhel Seth: I said she doesn't have the time. On the contrary she has offered any assistance whenever you need it. Not for this kind of stuff but any genuine you know.. dissemination.
10
00:01:29,824 --> 00:01:41,344
Suhel Seth: So he says no no.. that's damn sweet and this and that. So I am glad <i>yaar</i> we clarified this because this is a bloody cruel country I have now realized..
Niira Radia: It's an awful country. I don't know what we are doing here I tell you.
11
00:01:41,344 --> 00:01:49,279
Suhel Seth: I'll tell you. No, but Niira I'm again off tomorrow- day after, you know for my genuine holiday. And I am so happy- I was telling my mom just now.
12
00:01:49,279 --> 00:01:55,424
Niira Radia: Where you going?
Suhel Seth: I am going off to Umbria.
Niira Radia: Oh lovely!
13
00:01:55,424 --> 00:02:09,247
Suhel Seth: And then to Monaco because some of my friends have a place there... in Italy. So just about 8-10 of us they've invited. All you do is just chill. No bloody Advani, Vajpayee, Sonia, nothing of that nonsense.
14
00:02:09,247 --> 00:02:20,000
Niira Radia: Oh lovely! In the night I wish I could get away from this place, gosh!
Suhel Seth: You're in the thick of it, in more ways than you can ever imagine!
15
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:30,239
Niira Radia: I know..
Suhel Seth: But, what happened? Wasn't there some hearing or court season?
Niira Radia: Today's case got lifted for 20th.
16
00:02:30,239 --> 00:02:37,918
Suhel Seth: Oh.. 25th of July?
Niira Radia: 20th..
Suhel Seth: <i>Haan</i>..
Niira Radia: 20 July.
17
00:02:37,918 --> 00:02:47,136
Niira Radia: So we will have another grind for another week and listen to all this... nonsense that they will put out for sure..
Suhel Seth: It's just ridiculous.
18
00:02:47,136 --> 00:02:57,888
Niira Radia: Yeah..
Suhel Seth: But you know also everything that he had sent to Manoj.. there's no situation.. they don't have a case.. the Bombay fellow had obviously given a..
19
00:02:57,888 --> 00:03:06,591
Niira Radia: No you know.. he got paid off.. Gulam Vanavati is sitting there <i>na</i>..
Suhel Seth: And you know he is his best friend <i>na</i>..
Niira Radia: Hmm.. absolutely.
20
00:03:06,591 --> 00:03:11,455
Niira Radia: Absolutely.. <i>kya karenge?</i> (What will they do?)
Suhel Seth: But I'll tell you, it's so sad.
21
00:03:11,455 --> 00:03:18,367
Niira Radia: <i>Toh Suhel, kya karoge? Batao na, kuch karo</i> (So Suhel what will you do? Tell me... do something)
Suhel Seth: <i>Main toh abhi jaa hi raha hoon. Main kya karoonga?</i> (I am going now. What can I do?)
22
00:03:18,367 --> 00:03:27,327
Suhel Seth: But.. one minute.. my dog is also going berserk. Google! Sit down.
Niira Radia: (Giggles) I love that name! Google!
23
00:03:27,327 --> 00:03:36,031
Suhel Seth: Because he can find anything that none of us can find. Obviously coz he has hidden it.
Niira Radia: (Laughs) So sweet!
24
00:03:36,031 --> 00:03:49,599
Suhel Seth: No.. so what I'll do is.. I'll be honest with you.. I've not even gotten up, so that I can put pen to paper. Otherwise in any case I'm there.. and .. do you want me to speak to anyone? Not that you don't know anyone..
25
00:03:49,599 --> 00:04:01,631
Suhel Seth: I'm probably meeting Pranoy day after for lunch. I'm certainly meeting him. I don't know if it will be for lunch or whatever. But I'll also talk with him because he is also closer to the older fellow.
26
00:04:01,631 --> 00:04:12,383
Niira Radia: No we'll be meeting him actually. Meeting him on Thursday also.. I'm also meeting him.
Suhel Seth: Oh brilliant! You better make sure that we don't coincide.
(Both laugh)
27
00:04:12,383 --> 00:04:20,063
Niira Radia: Yeah but what I thought was you know.. if you write Suhel that this was so good.. but you'll talk from there.. you are on a pakka holiday..
28
00:04:20,063 --> 00:04:32,351
Suhel Seth: Actually I'm on a pakka holiday for once. You know why? Because every bloody time I go there's some CII nonsense, some other nonsense. <i>Main toh phone hi nahin leke jaa raha</i> (I am not taking the phone at all)
29
00:04:32,351 --> 00:04:40,544
Suhel Seth: Otherwise there's no way yaar! I'm telling you we are always just.. I mean I don't know how you do it.
Niira Radia: I'm trying to get a break, it's just crazy.
30
00:04:40,544 --> 00:04:49,759
Suhel Seth: But when are you going to take a break?
Niira Radia: I don't know. I was hoping to do it last week but obviously that didn't happen. So maybe after the 20th. I will take off for a week or something.
31
00:04:49,759 --> 00:04:55,391
Suhel Seth: Where? In Europe?
Niira Radia: Yeah. Europe, yeah. I wanted to also go to Italy.
32
00:04:55,391 --> 00:05:10,751
Suhel Seth: If you're in London, then just SMS me. I'm back in London on the 24th.
Niira Radia: Yeah I should be. You know I was gonna go for that Michael Jackson concert..
Suhel Seth: Are you serious?
Niira Radia: ... the last concert.. I was supposed to go in a day or two.
33
00:05:10,751 --> 00:05:23,040
Suhel Seth: Oh God!
Niira Radia: Yeah well that's gone. So can't go. I had already got my....In fact my friends had arranged for us all to go. There was a box there so I was gonna go.
34
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:32,255
Suhel Seth: Oh my..
Niira Radia: Anyway. Now we can't go. Anyway he's not there so.. we'll do something else. I don't know if this matter is coming up on the 20th when I can travel.
35
00:05:32,255 --> 00:05:41,471
Niira Radia: So lot of things going on even on the Tata's side. There's so much going on. So I need to get away for a week and take..
Suhel Seth: But Tata has frankly everything under control in the media atleast <i>na</i>?
36
00:05:41,471 --> 00:05:52,223
Niira Radia: Yeah media is under control but there are a lot of stuff that they are handling at the policy level no?
Suhel Seth: Correct, correct but I'm saying thank God atleast at the media level there's no.. nothing.. it's all good on the contrary.
37
00:05:52,223 --> 00:06:00,928
Niira Radia: Yeah, yeah it's all under control. Thank God! My God or else can you imagine if they both ...
Suhel Seth: I swear man.. it would have been unbelievable.
38
00:06:00,928 --> 00:06:08,863
Niira Radia: But on the 20th its also the Tata Power matter haan.. the Sasan matter. That's also coming up in the Supreme Court.
Suhel Seth: What is that matter yaar?
39
00:06:08,863 --> 00:06:18,335
Niira Radia: They have .. Anil Ambani fixed the EGoM to get diversion of coal. So he diverted ..
Suhel Seth: I will ask one thing.. only between the two of us.
40
00:06:18,335 --> 00:06:24,479
Niira Radia: Hmmm...
Suhel Seth: If the older fellow has so much of influence, how come the younger bugger is being able to do so much?
41
00:06:24,479 --> 00:06:38,303
Niira Radia: See last time also Amar Singh's .. after the nuclear deal.. it has limited his period of 3-4 months. And then they said they will get reports of the nuclear deal. It was only limited in that period. After that everything is.. you know.
42
00:06:38,303 --> 00:06:46,496
Niira Radia: Then Amar Singh made sure he did what he could. And even all the ED enquiries that Anil Ambani has started again.
Suhel Seth: Thank God.
43
00:06:46,496 --> 00:06:59,295
Niira Radia: So even he has borrowed 10 billion dollars in two years.
Suhel Seth: But wasn't that something that apparently he had taken money against some foreign holding and got it back or some rubbish like that?
44
00:06:59,295 --> 00:07:10,559
Niira Radia: Basically he's played according to... sort of .. all the figures that have been brought to us. He's roughly played about 40,000/- in the market and lost it.
45
00:07:10,559 --> 00:07:24,639
Niira Radia: When he has to pay it back, his balance sheet's showing right now a debt of 75,000 crores. And unless he can bring in equity which his brother won't allow him to bring in 'cause he's got the ROFR... he can't do anything.
46
00:07:24,639 --> 00:07:32,320
Niira Radia: So he can only fight us in court and use the media and do whatever he wants. So he's in a tight corner.
Suhel Seth: My God yaar!
47
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:43,582
Niira Radia: And this whole gas thing is for nothing else. He is just basically saying, give me money.
Suhel Seth: But the older fellow shouldn't succumb.
Niira Radia: Nothing at all. He is really sure.
48
00:07:43,582 --> 00:07:52,287
Suhel Seth: They should really nail him.
Niira Radia: He is gonna nail him. He has had enough of him.
Suhel Seth: And plus he is no ones' friend.
49
00:07:52,287 --> 00:08:08,928
Niira Radia: No he is no ones' friend. You see, look at it now Suhel. All the industries are on one side and Anil on one side.
Suhel Seth: I was speaking at a function on June 30 of the HSBC's.. I was in it together.. sitting at the same table.. he was bitching aloud...
50
00:08:08,928 --> 00:08:15,071
Niira Radia: Yeah, yeah in fact he is back tomorrow in Delhi.
Suhel Seth: Who?
Niira Radia: Sunil no..
51
00:08:15,071 --> 00:08:23,007
Suhel Seth: Okay.. I don't know.
Niira Radia: He was also saying that he had had enough of him. He has been fighting...
52
00:08:23,007 --> 00:08:38,624
Niira Radia: So we are all.. everyone's now on one side including the Tata's, because Tata is also battling this issue out. And he.. Anil's on one side. So maybe we should all just get together and.. put this misery to an end, finally.
53
00:08:38,624 --> 00:08:48,864
Suhel Seth: I can't even laugh, my chest is aching.
Niira Radia: He is a misery, isn't he?
Suhel Seth: It is a pain in the ass!
54
00:08:48,864 --> 00:08:55,007
Suhel Seth: If it weren't for him you would have been on your holiday by now.
Niira Radia: Isn't it.. just.. my God!
55
00:08:55,007 --> 00:09:01,919
Niira Radia: <i>Chal</i> I won't be talking to you otherwise..
Suhel Seth: Oh God!
56
00:09:01,919 --> 00:09:08,397
Niira Radia: Then.. get well soon..
Suhel Seth: Are you in Delhi?
Niira Radia: I am in Delhi, yeah.
Suhel Seth: Okay then I'll give you a buzz tomorrow. If you're free and all that. Let's hook up at least for a drink.

Rajdeep Sardesai: OK
9
00:00:49,376 --> 00:01:00,128
Niira Radia: And we are coming across to the Network 18 office in Noida tomorrow. Meeting Raghav and we were wondering if you were there
Rajdeep Sardesai: What time?
10
00:01:00,128 --> 00:01:07,040
Niira Radia: We are coming across at 3 30.
Rajdeep Sardesai: <i>Haan</i> 3 30 is fine because 12 to 2 I have a meeting. 3: 30 is perfect.
11
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:16,256
Niira Radia: We are there at Raghav's office at about 3:30. Can we meet up with you as well and have a run over with the gas issue and all that has been going on?
12
00:01:16,256 --> 00:01:27,520
Rajdeep Sardesai: Sure, sure, sure. But I think it might be easier because... I maybe... just suppose maybe if I have to cancel my Parliament thing, if I am not there, who will you meet in case I am not there?
13
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,847
Niira Radia: We are meeting Raghav, and Raghav said he may as well just call Shireen in
14
00:01:30,847 --> 00:01:40,064
Rajdeep Sardesai: <I>Haan</i> that's that's we'll take everything from them. But I want Manoj to meet Sameer Manchanda because Sameer and Manoj had a long chat in between on the cable thing.
15
00:01:40,064 --> 00:01:50,304
Rajdeep Sardesai: So I'll make sure that if I cannot be, I've committed to someone in Parliament, I realize now, if I don't return by 3:30 it will be a problem.  
Niira Radia: hmhmm
16
00:01:50,304 --> 00:02:04,384
Rajdeep Sardesai: But if I can, I will come, otherwise, uhhh if I can get someone from our team also to be briefed along, at that time I am fine, but frankly Shireen is the reporter who covers (inaudible) and all that
17
00:02:04,384 --> 00:02:16,136
Niira Radia: OK great because Raghav in his last convo had indicated, he said (inaudible) so Manoj said: Why don't we just go across to their office and I said I haven't even been across to your office...
18
00:02:16,136 --> 00:02:26,919
Rajdeep Sardesai: My own, my own sense that I get is that if Shireen is briefed properly, then we'll be fine because we'll take all our stuff from them. But if possible, if one of our guys who is covering it in the court can also be briefed, nothing like it.
19
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:27,501

00:00:20,959 --> 00:00:23,007
Niira Radia: Paddy, hi.
Padmanabhan: Hi, good evening.
3
00:00:23,007 --> 00:00:39,904
Niira Radia: Good evening, Paddy. Paddy, I had a word again with RIL yesterday based on what happened. Their view is that this government is saying that there is excess gas right now. Why should you still not write in and say that given that you are saying that there is excess gas, why can't we still have gas?
4
00:00:39,904 --> 00:00:59,104
Niira Radia: Forget about what Shinde's saying, that besides that there is excess gas available he should actually give it to us because we do believe that we can run units six and units four.. with.. efficiently with the availability of 1 MMSCD and 2.5 respectively.
5
00:00:59,104 --> 00:01:12,160
Padmanabhan: I agree with that. It is absolutely right. That is what we are writing to the government. It's actually in all the letters. We have been.. there is some 8 or 10 such communications that have gone to the government.
6
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:25,728
Niira Radia: I saw that, yeah. He is saying send another letter. He is meeting Shinde. And he is also going to have a word with Murli as well as I think they are going to meet the PMO.
7
00:01:25,728 --> 00:01:40,832
Niira Radia: Because their view is that this is nonsense and that Tata Power who could do with this gas and who can.. and you know right now you have got no capacity of 150 megawatts in Bombay when you could do it. You desperately need it.
8
00:01:40,832 --> 00:01:56,959
Niira Radia: He doesn't see why this should not be allocated straightaway. So they're gonna use their pressure and they're gonna push for it immediately. So what he is saying is that it's worth sending another letter saying that you know, you've got excess power, excess gas, so please make sure we get it.
9
00:01:56,959 --> 00:02:14,367
Niira Radia: And it is for us to demonstrate that we can operate these two units efficiently.
Padmanabhan: In fact I can write that letter which we have seen.. the recent one which we sent was as late as a week back.
10
00:02:14,367 --> 00:02:34,591
Padmanabhan: We can write a letter to the Ministry of Power to .. in fact yesterday also we met with Bakshi in Central Electricity Authority. And who said that yes 1 MMCNB we will definitely get for you. But we are pushing for one more. That was what Bakshi said.
Niira: Correct, yeah.
11
00:02:34,591 --> 00:02:47,647
Padmanabhan: All that is fine. How do I link it to this case? If I just have to write a letter, I will definitely write a letter.
Niira Radia: No, I think you can say that you are also concerned that there is a High Court judgment.
12
00:02:47,647 --> 00:03:11,199
Niira Radia: That gives allocation to a company on two counts- one that there is disparity of pricing where there 4.2 versus 2.34 and also gives it allocation of 28 MMSCD. We are concerned because we have an existing power plant.
13
00:03:11,199 --> 00:03:26,047
Niira Radia: And we would request that our gas atleast be given to us ASAP. You can bring that paragraph in and say we are concerned with this. No harm.
14
00:03:26,047 --> 00:03:54,975
Padmanabhan: I am just playing the Devil's advocate to make sure that we get this concept clear. On the volume, yes. I guess Tata Power can write that you know the extra road etc. and we get to understand that there is a judgment. And you would be considered for the allocation.
15
00:03:54,975 --> 00:04:09,567
Padmanabhan: I would not be able to bring in a price.. the price that (?) gas has allocated to us is at 4.2. It will be too much of excess to bring up the price aspect.
16
00:04:09,567 --> 00:04:22,623
Niira Radia: No that's fine, I think as long as you focus on allocation I think price is by the by really. So allocation is so critical right now. I think you're right actually. Maybe you could just go with allocation and that's perfectly fine.
17
00:04:22,623 --> 00:04:42,847
Padmanabhan: Yes because see, we are also...if you look at the set of correspondents other than this, we have to push in GAIL to give us gas. What is our primary requirement? Without the case just to ensure that we get a lower cost fuel compared to oil that we are importing right now..
18
00:04:42,847 --> 00:04:51,552
Padmanabhan: So we are pushing hard for that so that (inaudible) consumer tariff may be low.
Niira Radia: Absoutely. I said that's what you should mention.
19
00:04:51,552 --> 00:04:57,951
Niira Radia: You can say that you are paying considerably more, right now, right?
Padmanabhan: Yes of course..
20
00:04:57,951 --> 00:05:08,959
Niira Radia: You said you can't mention what price but you could mention that you are paying considerably more right now... from the government determined price of 4.2.
21
00:05:08,959 --> 00:05:29,183
Niira Radia: I think you should then - oh God, my computer has gone crazy now. Sorry that was my computer, suddenly made that sound...<i>nahin</i> (no), you could say that you are paying considerably more than what the government determined price of 4.2 is and as a result of this we would only get better benefit as a consumer.
22
00:05:29,183 --> 00:05:50,175
Niira Radia: That will be great. I'm putting out the GVK letter tomorrow in the media.. should be front page Economic Times tomorrow. In that there will be a mention that even Tata Power has applied for 1 and 2.5.. and that's all...but then our story of the shortage of power in Mumbai and all that.. that's gonna come next week in a big way.
23
00:05:50,175 --> 00:06:12,191
Padmanabhan: Okay.. and so the new letter that goes.. it will have one line reference to the High Court attachment.. other than that everything else has been said in the various letters.. you just go through all those letters. Everything else has been said.. it's just (inaudible) to the High Court judgment.

00:06:12,191 --> 00:06:27,040
Niira Radia: I think you'll say that.. this is it and you have concerned with allocation and you'd also say that.. the government determined price of 4.2 if you are given gas and that will only benefit the consumer.
25
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:43,679
Niira Radia: And allocation is concerned given that this High Court judgment is there and we're a little concerned with it... as we have an existing power plant. I'm not wording it very well Paddy, but I'm just thinking aloud while I'm talking to you.
26
00:06:43,679 --> 00:07:00,320
Padmanabhan: No I generally get the hang of what you are saying.. give me one evening to host dinner and (?).
Niira Radia: Okay no problem.. perfectly fine.. just give me a call if there's anything I need to clarify. See we will push for you to ensure that you get your 3.5.
27
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:11,071
Niira Radia: Because you have asked for 2.5 and 1, isn't it?
Padmanabhan: To GAIL I've asked for 1..
Niira Radia: So they're saying they'll give you 1 and 2.5.
28
00:07:11,071 --> 00:07:29,759
Padmanabhan: Yesterday you wanted to know if there's any department to let us know specifically, there is no letter to us but there is one notification which I will forward it to you today, or early tomorrow morning.
29
00:07:29,759 --> 00:07:35,647
Niira Radia: Paddy can you fax it to me.. would that be easier?
Padmanabhan: I will email it to you, you know.. that would be faster.
30
00:07:35,647 --> 00:07:51,776
Niira Radia: And also this Shinde's letter that went to the Minister.. that letter (inaudible)Vikas sent to me wasn't clear. Is it possible to put that on a scanned copy as well so that I can get a better copy?
31
00:07:51,776 --> 00:08:06,623
Padmanabhan: I will see if I can email you the original version. What came from Mantralaya was itself in a very bad shape..
Niira Radia: I think by the time it was faxed to me, (inaudible)half of it missing.
32
00:08:06,623 --> 00:08:09,479
Padmanabhan: Okay.. I will email you that one.

Rakesh: Haan, hello.
Niira Radia: Hi Rakesh.
2
00:00:11,743 --> 00:00:15,583
Rakesh: Accha quickly just tell me one thing..
Niira Radia: Hmm?
3
00:00:15,583 --> 00:00:30,176
Rakesh: Why is that.. you made the petition there in Supreme Court.. and you made... government doesn't intervene.. am I right?
Niira Radia: No, they are respondent not intervener.
4
00:00:30,176 --> 00:00:38,880
Rakesh: That is what I just wanted to check. Because the other side has been repeatedly saying that government has not been given a notice or anything.
5
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:49,120
Niira Radia: No, government has been given a notice. I don't know what they are talking about.
Rakesh: No, we wrote a story..
Niira Radia: In fact yours is a very good flash. They aren't- they have been given a notice- that's very clear.
6
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:57,568
Rakesh: So.. which is why I was just confused that what.. <i>matlab isme jhagda kya ho gaya hai?</i> (What is the argument in this?). If they are respondent, why other side should be so uncomfortable on this?
7
00:00:57,568 --> 00:01:03,712
Niira Radia: <i>Unko nahin accha lagta na ki government ko aana chahiye. Kya kare hum log abhi? Unko tension hota hai</i> (They don't like the government in this. What can we do now. They get tensed.)
8
00:01:03,712 --> 00:01:18,304
Niira Radia: Mahesh Agarwal came out and told CNBC.. <i>usko poocha gaya ki kya kar rahe ho tum log gas ke saath to kehta hai wohi karenge jo Mukesh Ambani kar raha hai.. hum bechenge gas..</i> (He was asked what will you do with gas and he said we will do just what Mukesh Ambani has been doing- we will sell gas).
9
00:01:18,304 --> 00:01:36,479
Niira Radia: He said its not called trading its called selling. C'mon he thinks.. the world is stupid or what?
Rakesh: And then one of his.. says didn't you notice so I checked up again..so I was still under confusion that what is the position on this. That's the reason I ringed (sic).
10
00:01:36,479 --> 00:01:44,672
Niira Radia: <i>Nahin, government ko notice gaya hai ..</i> (No, the government has been issued a notice..)
Rakesh: My legal team guys, they say- that it is as intervenor and not as a respondent.
11
00:01:44,672 --> 00:01:50,816
Rakesh: Earlier you wanted a respondent, but registration government cannot be made a respondent you will have to..
12
00:01:50,816 --> 00:02:00,032
Niira Radia: <i>Pehle toh.. teen din se pehle yeh log baat kar rahe hai ki government should be.. aapko bhi pata hai registrar kabhi rokta nahin hai.. </i> (First of all, three days back these people spoke and the government should be... and you know that the registrar never stops..)
13
00:02:00,032 --> 00:02:11,380
Rakesh: <i>Nahin, woh nahin rokega</i> (No, it won't stop)
Niira Radia: <i>Matter mein bhi, inhone yehi chalaya tha last time bhi.. ko government cannot be a respondent, registrar ne aisa bola hai</i> (In that matter also, they did the same thing last time.. that the government cannot be a respondent and the registrar said so.)
14
00:02:11,380 --> 00:02:14,623
Rakesh: Haan, haan
Niira Radia: <i> Haan toh registrar toh har cheez inke kehne pe toh nahin karega na?</i> (Yes so the registrar won't do everything that they say right?)
15
00:02:14,623 --> 00:02:27,935
Rakesh: No, they can't buy the..
Niira Radia: It's not upto the registrar na.. its upto the court to decide whether you want.. I mean, upto the government to decide that.. we wrote respondent and sent it yesterday.
16
00:02:27,935 --> 00:02:44,063
Niira Radia: All sides have been issued notice.
Rakesh: My team members all still saying.. the High court team.. the Supreme Court team.. we have a strong team in there.. still intervenor not as a.. and that's what they had given that's the reason I wanted to recheck with you.
17
00:02:44,063 --> 00:02:52,000
Niira Radia: But you had given what? Intervenor or respondent?
Rakesh: <i> Shuru mein toh hum logon ne notice diya</i> (We gave a notice in the start). We kept quiet on that government has been issued a notice.
18
00:02:52,000 --> 00:03:06,335
Rakesh: Now sometime back, in Supreme Court we have a person called Indubam. He covers Supreme Court for us.. the corporate side. And she gave us a story that it is an intervenor.
19
00:03:06,335 --> 00:03:14,015
Rakesh: And in the meanwhile one of the Tony's teams told me, <i>ki woh government ko notice nahin mila. Toh maine kahan yeh kya mazak ho gaya?</i> (That the government hasn't got the notice. So I said what joke is this?)
20
00:03:14,015 --> 00:03:20,671
Niira Radia: <i>Government ko notice gaya hai</i> (Government has been issued a notice).
Rakesh: <i>Haan toh notice gaya hai</i> (Ok so the notice has been issued.) Wanted to just confirm that.
21
00:03:20,671 --> 00:03:25,023
Niira Radia: It's gone, it's gone.
Rakesh: <i>Aur kya baaki haal hai?</i> (How is everything else?)
22
00:03:25,023 --> 00:03:34,751
Niira Radia: I'm fine, very fine. How are you, how is your health?
Rakesh: <i>Main bilkul theek thaak hoon</i> (I am very fine). I am going to fall sick in case you don't need me now.
23
00:03:34,751 --> 00:03:42,882

man's voice: Just one second, huh, just one second...
Niira Radia: Hi
Ratan Tata: Hi
Niira Radia: Hi. You've got the media chasing me on Mr Tata being approached for becoming the chairman of the international advisory committee for Air India.
2
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:47,720
Ratan Tata: It's true.
Niira Radia: Hmmm
Ratan Tata: Nothing has happened. He did come to see me.
Niira Radia: Praful?
Ratan Tata: No, no, the current CEO.
3
00:00:47,720 --> 00:01:02,880
Niira Radia: Jhadav, yeah? He's Praful's henchman.
Ratan Tata: Is he?
Niira Radia: Hmm. Completely.
Niira Radia: He's been brought in to safeguard the Boeing deal.
Ratan Tata: Oh really?
4
00:01:08,839 --> 00:01:43,360
Niira Radia: So they put out a story saying that, you know, they're trying to build credibility right now. So I got a call from Times of India saying that Mr Tata has been approached. I said I have no comment to make.
Ratan Tata: Yeah, I think that's what you should keep saying till we hear anything.
Niira Radia: They are going to run the story in any case... because Praful has gone on record to say that you've been approached.
Ratan Tata: Let him go on record.
5
00:01:49,158 --> 00:02:06,119
Niira Radia: We'll just maintain no comment'.
Ratan Tata: Yeah, yeah.
Niira Radia: Yeah, yeah. I'll do that. I'll maintain no comment'. Yeah, I'll do that. You landed in London?
Ratan Tata: No I'm sitting on the ground in Tel Aviv.
Niira Radia: Oh gosh! What happened?
Ratan Tata: The plane is two hours late. We're all in the plane.
6
00:02:07,759 --> 00:02:49,239
Niira Radia: Oh, dear me. Oh, gosh. Oh dear me. I'm sorry. You should fly in your own plane.
Ratan Tata: Yeah, I know. He kept saying we should do that. I kept saying no. Maybe it wouldn't have worked out, apparently there's a rain storm in London, everything slowed down, we would have been diverted somewhere else.
Niira Radia: It would've still been your own plane.
Ratan Tata: Yeah, being in your own plane in Brussels [?] won't give you much... you know,... much joy
7
00:02:49,239 --> 00:03:14,080
Niira Radia: Hmmm. OK. Oh dear me, so you'd reach quite late tonight, huh?
Ratan Tata: Well it is [unclear]
Niira Radia: So you are going to Gaydon, or are you going to London?
Ratan Tata: I am not going to Gaydon, I am not going there at all.
Niira Radia: Okay. There's a programme tomorrow, right?
Ratan Tata: But I think that's in London.
Niira Radia: Oh, it's in London, okay, okay.
Ratan Tata: Yeah.
Niira Radia: Okay, alright.
8
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:24,199
Ratan Tata: It's a bloody black tie affair.
Niira Radia: It's a black tie affair? Gosh.
Ratan Tata: You know how much I love those.
Niira Radia: Oh, you should have invited me. I could have worn my black gown.
(Both chuckle)
9
00:03:24,199 --> 00:03:44,800
Ratan Tata: You could have worn your black gown and gone in my place. I hate black tie affairs.
Niira Radia: I never get a chance to wear my black gown, Ratan.
Ratan Tata: We'll make some....we'll make some occasion for you in Bombay.
Niira Radia: Yeah, because I have got this Roberto Cavalli gown, you know, which I never get a chance to wear.
Ratan Tata: It's a what??
10
00:03:44,800 --> 00:04:10,760
Niira Radia: I have this Roberto Cavalli gown which I never get a chance to…
Ratan Tata: Is it in Bombay or London?
Niira Radia: No, I've got it lying, you know, with me in Delhi, so I can go wherever with it, but I never get a chance to wear it.
Ratan Tata: Well then, you wear it when you meet Hillary Clinton or — or whom could I suggest? who would be a befitting person to…
11
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:26,919
Niira Radia: (laughs) No. I'll wear it when you next wear a black tie, or… you call me.
Ratan Tata: Okay.
Niira Radia: I'll do that
Niira Radia:  You got hold of this guy, Sanjay, did you speak to him?
Ratan Tata: Yes, I did, I just did.
12
00:04:26,919 --> 00:04:51,440
Niira Radia: Was he alright?
Ratan Tata: Yeah. He's fine. And he thanked me and said he won't see me tomorrow because he's going to Africa tonight ….
Niira Radia: Kenya, Kenya. He's going to Kenya. He told me quite late that he's going to Kenya. He also manages all the private funds of all the rich Indians in Kenya and Tanzania.
Ratan Tata: I see.
Niira Radia: All the sugar lobby.
13
00:04:56,679 --> 00:05:13,919
Niira Radia: It's amazing the portfolios he's got.
Ratan Tata: Yeah, must be. Yeah, yeah.
Niira Radia: Yeah, he told me... I had just gone to see Mr Muthuraman a short while ago. He was at the Tata House, at Prithviraj Road.
Ratan Tata: Yeah. You did?
14
00:05:13,919 --> 00:05:35,600
Niira Radia: Yes, I went to meet him on the (inaudible) issue and met him. And Mr [AB or AV] Baijal and Nirolkar [?]... [not clear] Nice, nice, nice discussion. It was quite good. He's quite pragmatic, I must say.
Ratan Tata: OK, OK.
Niira Radia: Once I talked to him, he's quite pragmatic, yeah. He's good, he's good.
15
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:52,880
Niira Radia: I am on my... gonna go home... and today the court case happened, by the way — the Supreme Court — between the two brothers... nothing, they just [?] till the 20th
Ratan Tata: Which one?
Niira Radia: The one between the two brothers...
Ratan Tata: Oh, the one he filed, and caveat
Niira Radia: Ya.
16
00:05:52,880 --> 00:06:20,880
Niira Radia: Both had filed. Anil had also filed. They've given a date for the 20th.
Ratan Tata: I see
Niira Radia: And by the way, our matter for Sassan also comes up on the same day, before the same bench (laughs)
Ratan Tata: OK. Before the same bench?
Niira Radia: Yes, the chief justice. That'll be interesting
Ratan Tata: Both these cases are before the same judge?
Niira Radia: Yeah, they are, yeah
17
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:46,799
Ratan Tata: So you will have three cases before them?
Niira Radia: Yes, so you will have one case where we'll say there's been this foul play ... Anil Ambani and then two cases clubbed together between RIL and RNRL. So that'll be quite interesting. Will be quite good. Anyway, let's see.
18
00:06:46,799 --> 00:07:20,359
Niira Radia: I have every intention of ensuring that we......- By the way, AT&T has cancelled their interaction with Anil Ambani.
Ratan Tata: Oh really?
Niira Radia: What happened, Mukesh sent ... used his US lawyer to send them a letter ... saying that we have an ROFR in place, and they wrote back saying they were examining this and the matter is too complicated, and they have no intention of going forward. Given that it could just not end anywhere.
Niira Radia: Thank God for that. So now he is talking about China Power.
Ratan Tata: I see
19
00:07:20,359 --> 00:07:46,760
Niira Radia: For his power company. Yeah, he has to raise money.
Ratan Tata: I doubt that China Power would like to go into that transaction because they are so conservative.
Niira Radia: Hmmmm. He's offering them 10 per cent only. There the ROFR is not going to matter.
Ratan Tata: When we offered them something like that, they weren't at all interested.
Niira Radia: Hmmm. Maybe not.
20
00:07:46,760 --> 00:08:32,360
Ratan Tata: They wanted control and so on and so forth, right?
Niira Radia: So now…
Ratan Tata: I can find out but I don't want to be unduly interested.
Niira Radia: But he's got now. In the telecom space France Telecom has said no to him. AT&T has said no. MTN has said no. I think is it Telstra?
Ratan Tata: Of Australia?
Niira Radia: They've said no. So there's nobody unless... until he is going to talk to QTel… is in trouble because they are looking at restructuring.
21
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:52,280
Ratan Tata: You have talked to Siva?
Niira Radia: Talked to?
Ratan Tata: Siva.
Niira Radia: Yeah, Siva's gone to court, you know, and opposed that 25th date.
Ratan Tata: You told me that.
Niira Radia: Yeah, so now what Raja told me was that he was going to give him his licence without spectrum.
Ratan Tata: (Laughs)
22
00:08:52,280 --> 00:09:11,000
Niira Radia: So they are filing an application.
Ratan Tata: Go to court again and say that he didn't get Spectrum.
Niira Radia: Yes, but there is no spectrum available and that's what they've submitted. I know that unless the court can order release of spectrum from Defence and all of us benefit.
Niira Radia: It's not going to happen, you know, until… you know, that's not going to happen.
23
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:42,960
Niira Radia: Yeah, I met Raja today. I went to see him today and he is alright. He is a happy man. The Chief Justice has given his clearance on him and he's happy. He's really happy with that. I told him the letter's coming to you…that KK's letter, you know. But he couldn't understand why is it a letter and why can't I bring the cheque to him. I said I can't do that because there is a process to it and you have to understand.' Raja is like, you know, he is always all over the place.
24
00:09:42,960 --> 00:10:29,520
Ratan Tata: Does he know that the other guy is gunning for him?
Niira Radia: Yeah. He is fully aware. He told me he said he needs help in the media. So I promised him I'll help him. I'm helping him Ratan wherever I can, but the thing is that every time you try and help him, he goes and makes stupid statements, you know.
Ratan Tata: Yeah, yeah.
Niira Radia: So you don't know what to do with him, you know. I told him just learn to keep quiet and keep his head down. As far as the media is concerned. He can't resist talking to the media, and then he just says everything, you know. He is saying. The latest rumour is that him and Kanimozhi are having an affair which is actually not true.
25
00:10:29,520 --> 00:11:08,400
Ratan Tata: Who?
Niira Radia: His latest thing is that he and Kanimozhi are having an affair.
Ratan Tata: Whose latest thing?
Niira Radia: The latest rumour in Delhi.
Ratan Tata: Oh I see.
Niira Radia: That Raja and Kanimozhi are having an affair, which is not true.
Ratan Tata: Yeah, but spread by who?
Niira Radia: By who else, Maran, but that's because Raja, whenever the media comes to meet him or anybody comes to meet him, he keeps on telling them how much of a soft corner he has for Kani, and every time he talks about her, as dark as he is, he still blushes.
Ratan Tata: (Laughs)
26
00:11:08,400 --> 00:12:05,520
Niira Radia: He gives away the sign that he probably has a crush on her and she has got zero interest in him. Everybody then puts two and two together and gossips. You have this really weird man and he can't understand why his wife is going to beat him up. He's telling me today, What do I do with all of these people, to all these rumours?' And I told him, Don't talk to people about you have this soft corner for Kanimozhi,' and that You have to protect her.' And I said to him, You know, you actually blush.' He said, You can't make out I am blushing.' I said, I'm sorry, but look at your eyes.' Anyway, he can't hide the fact that he's got a crush on her. And Kani says to me, Oh God help me Niira, keep me away from this man.' It is quite funny.
27
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:35,040
Niira Radia: On the lighter side of Delhi, Ratan. But then for the madness that I hate being here. So these are the lighter moments of life. I'm back in Bombay from Friday. And I'm there all of next week.
Ratan Tata: Okay, so we'll get together.
Niira Radia: Yeah, I'm going to be there the whole of next week....You take care. Are you going off from London tomorrow, then you're travelling to the US?
Ratan Tata: No, I'm coming back!
28
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:51,080
Niira Radia: You're coming back. Okay, I don't know why…
Ratan Tata: I am coming back. Thursday morning.
Niira Radia: Thursday morning.
Ratan Tata: I'm sorry. I'm leaving Thursday morning and I'll be back Thursday night.
Niira Radia: Okay, so I'm back in Bombay on Friday.
Ratan Tata: Okay.
29
00:12:51,080 --> 00:13:10,400
Niira Radia: Good. I'm thinking delivery of my new Jaguar on Saturday.
Ratan Tata: Oh, is that so?
Niira Radia: Yes.
Ratan Tata: Good, good.
Niira Radia: Can't wait. (laughs) (inaudible) I am thrilled with it
Ratan Tata: Good.
30
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:33,840
Niira Radia: Yeah. So Mutthu is fine. Ravi's ... Oh by the way, did Sanjay tell you that he's trying for the 140 as well?
Ratan Tata: Yes, he did.
Niira Radia: Yeah, he's gonna do that. He said me just give me time. He's gonna do that.
Ratan Tata: Yeah
Niira Radia: He is a very "Indian English" speaking gentleman (laughs).
Ratan Tata: (Laughs)
31
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:48,720
Niira Radia: I am sure you found that from his accent, naa?
Ratan Tata: He sounded like I was speaking to somebody from ...Mittal's Chambers [?]
Niira Radia: He's very much like that. Yeah.
Niira Radia: Quite a weird fellow...
32
00:13:51,880 --> 00:14:01,680
Niira Radia: Anyway. I am glad. I hope some of our... you know I hope the bad times are behind us.
Ratan Tata: I hope so. Anyway, let's see.
Niira Radia: I am sure they are...
Ratan Tata: Ok.
33
00:14:01,680 --> 00:14:12,241
Niira Radia: Alright, have a good flight, and hope you take off soon.
Ratan Tata: I hope so too.
Niira Radia: OK, see you, bye.

10
00:00:52,912 --> 00:00:57,963
Jaideep Bose: No it is.. because I don't know how much.. you know.. I don't know if anyone can you know..
11
00:00:57,963 --> 00:01:08,064
Jaideep Bose: I think it's too much..
Niira Radia: Between you and me.. I mean that's effective that I know. And you know that the whole intention of Praful Patel was to asset-strip the airline.
12
00:01:08,064 --> 00:01:13,695
Jaideep Bose: Yeah.
Niira Radia: (Inaudible)
jaideep Bose: Sorry?
13
00:01:13,695 --> 00:01:25,810
Niira Radia: It's not going to happen now because the financial crisis has hit.(Disturbances). And you know they won't .. sort of take..
14
00:01:25,810 --> 00:01:33,970
Niira Radia: I don't know between you and me I don't think he's going to take it. He's told me.. I told him you like (inaudible)..
15
00:01:33,970 --> 00:01:37,991
Jaideep Bose: Very honestly, in his place I wouldn't take it.
16
00:01:37,991 --> 00:01:43,532
Niira Radia: No. no, he is not at all in the mood to do it.
17
00:01:43,532 --> 00:01:48,711
Jaideep Bose: Because, Praful Patel will now (?) very hard to...
18
00:01:48,711 --> 00:01:52,096
Jaideep Bose: They have handed over the aviation business too.
19
00:01:52,096 --> 00:02:01,025
Niira Radia: He is destroyed. He's sold his bilaterals. (Disturbance)..Emirates...
20
00:02:01,025 --> 00:02:04,104
Jaideep Bose: I've heard $3,500. How much have you heard?
21
00:02:04,104 --> 00:02:10,312
Niira Radia: No, no.. you know, whenever you do a bilateral.. you know how we kick back Sedan(?).. is that you pay per seat.
22
00:02:10,312 --> 00:02:14,343
Jaideep Bose: Yeah. I heard $3,500 per seat.
23
00:02:14,343 --> 00:02:19,677
Niira Radia: No. no. Actual weight is about $25 pear seat.
24
00:02:19,677 --> 00:02:28,703
Niira Radia: $7-$28 but that is aiming...with this guy in Delhi...he's been...
Jaideep Bose: Ramesh Nambiar.
25
00:02:28,703 --> 00:02:36,859
Niira Radia: Yeah and Talwar was involved in it.
26
00:02:36,859 --> 00:02:42,271
Niira Radia: And these guys have raked in about 3-4 hundred million dollars in bilaterals.
Jaideep Bose: Hmm..
27
00:02:42,271 --> 00:02:50,826
Niira Radia: And that's only on Gulf sites....(inaudible)
28
00:02:50,826 --> 00:02:54,023
Jaideep Bose: You're breaking up, I can't hear you.
29
00:02:54,023 --> 00:03:01,607
Niira Radia: ...Singapore Airlines came to me and said they wanted huge amounts of money for bilaterals. And I refused to..
30
00:03:01,607 --> 00:03:04,007
Jaideep Bose: Who.. who came to you?
31
00:03:04,007 --> 00:03:20,671
Niira Radia: Singapore Airlines. They used to be my client before. So they used to do a lot of briefing of their aircraft in the African market. So he said.. they said that they want to do it. They didn't take any extra flights from them.
32
00:03:20,671 --> 00:03:34,751
Niira Radia: But they had a going way. So there was this tarrif card that was running in the ministry for five years. And I don't think that they would do it. I told him that you carry the story he said yeah there is no problem.
33
00:03:34,751 --> 00:03:42,953
Niira Radia: No comments from our side. But between you and me you can probably say that he is probably not going to take it.
34
00:03:42,953 --> 00:03:49,272
Jaideep Bose: Can I say people who know him don't believe you would keep such an assignment?
35
00:03:50,367 --> 00:03:54,183
Niira Radia: Yeah, maybe you can say that.
Jaideep: Huh?
Niira Radia: Yeah.
36
00:03:54,183 --> 00:04:00,919
Jaideep Bose: See, the thing is, he can try before such an assignment.
37
00:04:00,919 --> 00:04:07,519
Niira Radia: You know I think he is pretty cut up about it. You could see them all get involved in this whole Boeing deal with this guy Sedan.
38
00:04:07,519 --> 00:04:26,951
Niira Radia: He doesn't know what he has to unravel.. so there have been huge amounts of kickbacks that have taken place.. and all this takes up processes and all that.. in no way Ratan's gonna try... you know they're gonna use him to try and clean up the mess that they have made.. and the Prime Minister is really going for them now.
39
00:04:26,951 --> 00:04:35,830
Jaideep Bose: Hmm.. yeah I know, I actually.. I have seen a huge change in his body language in the last month.
40
00:04:35,830 --> 00:04:51,040
Jaideep Bose: Earlier he used to be very cocky. But last one month he is looking.. quite nervous. I think Manmohan Singh must have set himself.
41
00:04:51,040 --> 00:05:04,153
Jaideep Bose: And.. because 2-3 weeks ago he was very, very nervous. But he raped the airlines. Raped it.
42
00:05:04,153 --> 00:05:11,100
Niira Radia: Yeah because their whole intention was to take over the ground handling, to take over the MRO what we call Maintainence Repair and Overall services.
43
00:05:11,100 --> 00:05:12,287
JB: Hmm
44
00:05:12,287 --> 00:05:25,400
Niira Radia: And the whole intention was to asset-strip so that they could give it to Vijay Mallya and Naresh. And then just finish off the airline. Bilateral was given off in any case so you had made this airline a regional airline already.
45
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:31,926
Niira Radia: And it was no longer a longhaul. And all those assets would have been transferred over.
46
00:05:31,926 --> 00:05:43,776
Niira Radia: And you know, Jojo, everytime you book a slot for an airline, with the manufacturer- that slot itself for your production line, actually carries the value.
47
00:05:43,776 --> 00:05:53,491
Niira Radia: So you can actually go and tell Air India that Jet wanted a slot.. so Jet could pay $5 million towards slot manufacturing you know..
48
00:05:53,491 --> 00:05:58,623
Niira Radia: so its a huge money making market..
49
00:05:58,623 --> 00:06:05,321
jaideep Bose: Someone kind of worked.. give me a (?)..
50
00:06:05,321 --> 00:06:11,099
JB: something about.. some 15-18,000 crores.
51
00:06:11,099 --> 00:06:16,670
JB: Over the last 5 years.. Praful Patel.. I don't know if its more or less.. and I don't know whether...
52
00:06:16,670 --> 00:06:18,591
JB: someone in the airline business
53
00:06:18,591 --> 00:06:40,296
Niira Radia: What.. in terms of kickbacks?
Jaideep Bose: Yeah.. through bilateral.. even stuff which.. actually Air India has been forced to give up a lot of space at ... transferred to Indigo...no not Indigo... Ya Indigo.
54
00:06:40,296 --> 00:06:46,734
Niira Radia: Indigo yeah.. Indigo has got Praful in it no?
Jaideep Bose: Yeah?
55
00:06:46,734 --> 00:06:53,717
Niira Radia: Yeah Praful is a silent partner in Rahul's company or Bhatia's company.
56
00:06:53,717 --> 00:06:56,992
Niira Radia: He is very much there.
57
00:06:56,992 --> 00:07:16,447
Niira Radia: I mean I know because you know Jojo I was trying to get that myself in terms of starting an airline... and he told me that very clearly- don't do this because Dawood's(?) going to come in and I mean.. the sort of kickbacks they asked from me for getting the license, I said, go to hell. I'm not gonna give you anything.
58
00:07:16,447 --> 00:07:24,595
Niira Radia: So, at the end of the day.. I won't say its 15-18,000 crores. But I said keeping that they have made 7-10,000 crores..
59
00:07:24,595 --> 00:07:29,827
Jaideep Bose: Bilateral aircraft buying..
60
00:07:29,827 --> 00:07:34,111
Niira Radia: Ground handling?
JB: (inaudible)
61
00:07:34,111 --> 00:07:40,780
Niira Radia: Spares? Engine?
Jaideep Bose: Someone very senior in the airline business kind of made this...
62
00:07:40,780 --> 00:07:48,447
JB: This was several months ago, so I don't remember the number exactly. I remember it being in the vicinity of 15-16 crores.
63
00:07:48,447 --> 00:08:05,343
Niira Radia: You are probably right. They also gave.. you know they removed Sunil Arora from that position because Sunil had actually exposed them and sent a huge dossier to the cabinet secretary and the Prime Minister- as to what had actually gone wrong in the airline deal.
64
00:08:05,343 --> 00:08:11,975
Niira Radia: Actually I have got that document. I'll send it to you.
Jaideep Bose: Yeah?
Niira Radia: Hmm.. I have got the whole dossier.
65
00:08:11,975 --> 00:08:20,191
Jaideep Bose: No.. he also sent it to Sonia Gandhi I think.
Niira Radia: Yes he did.
66
00:08:20,191 --> 00:08:31,199
Niira Radia: He had exposed the whole thing and in fact all the minutes of the meetings are in there... where he was forced to take his hand and he had got them to sign off on those minutes.
67
00:08:31,199 --> 00:08:42,976
Niira Radia: That's when they threw him out. And after that they tried to file some CBI cases against him. And CBI declared that there was nothing against Sunil Arora. In fact if there's anybody who can turn this airline around, you should bring him back.
68
00:08:42,976 --> 00:08:52,447
Jaideep Bose: Yeah I've heard very good things about him.. I met him just a couple of times. Even in Air India they say very good things about him.
69
00:08:52,447 --> 00:09:04,736
Niira Radia: Yeah he is remarkable. He really was a good officer. He's got Indian Airlines into profit. He was quite good so.. they did a lot of injustice to him.
70
00:09:04,736 --> 00:09:23,167
Niira Radia: And Praful wanted him out because he won't cut deals so.. and then this whole deal.. so he wrote this... you know when the deal was going on, he sent this whole dossier to Sonia Gandhi.. and then Sharad Pawar of course used his influence and made sure that he was removed.
71
00:09:23,167 --> 00:09:34,175
Niira Radia: What a scam huh! It all comes home to roost na?
Jaideep Bose: But with somebody else .. not necessarily for the one who did it, na.
(sighs)
72
00:09:34,175 --> 00:09:41,343
Niira Radia: Hmm?
Jaideep Bose: Its comes home to roost other people, not necessarily for the person who contributed it.
73
00:09:41,343 --> 00:09:54,144
Niira Radia: No I don't know you know.. at the end of the day I don't know how long they can keep on cheating. I don't know. They have really, really.. I am sorry to use the word 'raped' the airline you know. They have killed it.

Niira Radia: Hello..
Ganapathy: Hi..
3
00:00:23,263 --> 00:00:24,288
Niira Radia: Hello.
Ganapathy: Hello?
4
00:00:24,288 --> 00:00:29,663
Niira Radia: Hi..
Ganapathy: Hi.. your voice.. voice is very faint.
5
00:00:29,663 --> 00:00:35,808
Niira Radia: Oh God.. you know I..
Ganapathy: You're not well or something?
6
00:00:35,808 --> 00:00:40,672
Niira Radia: No no, I'm fine. I'm just little.. you know..
Ganapathy: Tired?
7
00:00:40,672 --> 00:00:52,448
Niira Radia: How did it go? Tell me.
Ganapathy: Yeah.. so far it.. Rohini came back and told me about this GVK letter and all that.
8
00:00:52,448 --> 00:01:09,856
Ganapathy: So.. I have helped her do a story on how these power units are complaining.. how they have a major problem with the Bombay High Court order.
9
00:01:09,856 --> 00:01:22,144
Ganapathy: How they want to.. the government to intervene and all that.. but there is a lot of fights going on.. obviously the friends are mounting a lot of pressure.
10
00:01:22,144 --> 00:01:28,800
Ganapathy: You would have seen that statement <i>na</i>.. by that lawyer.. whatever..
Niira Radia: Mukul..
11
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:42,110
Ganapathy: <i>Haan</i>, in the morning saying they will.. now should be allowed to sell the gas and all that.
Niira Radia: Because I don't have Hathway or don't have those things.. (inaudible) sure what they said...so, what's being said?
12
00:01:42,110 --> 00:01:51,328
Ganapathy: See, he said that after the court admitted the..
Niira radia: The trading part.. I got that.. what news are you carrying at 8 o'clock?
13
00:01:51,328 --> 00:02:11,380
Ganapathy: Yeah, that's right. We have just said that they.. they now say they should be allowed to sell.. they are saying that delay in setting out the path because of the lack of supplies.. and therefore they should now be allowed to sell.
14
00:02:11,380 --> 00:02:19,743
Ganapathy: They are saying they are also doing the same so why should we not allowed (sic) to do the same?
Niira Radia: I saw that yeah. What happened to the GVK letter?
15
00:02:19,743 --> 00:02:39,199
Ganapathy: That is separately done you know. That is a separate story. So we have kept that. That would be given much more prominence. So, there is a hell of a lot of push and pull going on - major fights.
16
00:02:39,199 --> 00:03:00,703
Niira Radia: How can there be a fight when the GVK letter and everything is on reecord and all that? They can - They can't block it.
Ganapathy: No, no can't you see the obvious design in the way RNRL is going about projecting its case? How they want to sell gas.. this, that.. blah blah..
17
00:03:00,703 --> 00:03:08,895
Niira Radia: Yeah, yeah absolutely ! They are never gonna get that you know Ganu... they are never gonna get that - there will be hue and cry and they will continue to do that.
18
00:03:08,895 --> 00:03:24,255
Niira Radia: That's what. The GVK story - did it come out well?
Ganapathy: Yeah, yeah. Made it much, much better. But apart from GVK it also mentions GMR.
Niira Radia: Tata Power.
Ganapathy: Yeah, Tata Power, torrents.
19
00:03:24,255 --> 00:03:31,423
Niira Radia: Okay.
Ganapathy: So.. that would make the case stronger. Then fertilizer appropriation also.
20
00:03:31,423 --> 00:03:37,311
Niira Radia: And did they have a reaction, the other sides?
Ganapaathy: Uhh... no.
Niira Radia: Hmm..
21
00:03:37,311 --> 00:03:45,759
Ganapathy: Obviously not.
Niira Radia: And this got carried- what- 8,9 and 10' o clock is it?
Ganapathy: Yeah, yeah.
22
00:03:45,759 --> 00:03:52,416
Niira Radia: I was told that you know the lead story - is it true?
Ganapathy: No, not in the paper.
23
00:03:52,416 --> 00:03:56,255
Niira Radia: Tomorrow it's not a lead story?
Ganapathy: No, no, not in the paper.
24
00:03:56,255 --> 00:04:05,215
Niira Radia: Why?
Ganapathy: Because they are carrying a lot of other things. They have Pranab Mukherjee's <i>bhashan</i> (speech) today.
25
00:04:05,215 --> 00:04:22,880
Niira Radia: <i>Haan</i>..
Ganapathy: And then then something about the.. companies.. the free flows. The public holding in companies that should.. should have that minimum level that they are going to implement from December onwards.
26
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:39,519
Ganapathy: So, those are the things which have been.. today there was also Finance Secretary meeting with Deputy General. Then.. apart from Finance Minister and then a lot of other things they have said about the establishment blah blah..
27
00:04:39,519 --> 00:04:52,063
Niira Radia: So what you are saying is that the GVK story is not the front page tomorrow?
Ganapathy: Yeah trying but it's not the big one.
28
00:04:52,063 --> 00:05:10,239
Niira Radia: I told her very clearly and she had a word with both Andy and Rahul. So she indicated and she said she had a word with you as well. But that would be the lead story and that would be the front page because I told her.. I mean if you do that otherwise I'm not going to give you another letter.
29
00:05:10,239 --> 00:05:31,231
Niira Radia: And now you might as well give it to HT then... who are willing to give me a front page. I mean Nayantara was asking me on CNBC that.. like big time saying Mint will carry it front page.. as the deal that they have got.. And Subukumar himself called me and said give it to me and I'll do it you know..
30
00:05:31,231 --> 00:05:43,776
Ganapathy: But is it one way flow or two way flow? Is it that only CNBC carries the Mint news or does Mint also carry the CNBC news?
Niira Radia: Both.
Ganapathy: Okay..
31
00:05:43,776 --> 00:06:06,048
Niira Radia: They have a tie up and in fact Subukumar called me in the afternoon after that.. he said Niira why don't you give me this GVK? I'll do it.. I'll make sure that if Nayantara carries it on CNBC, I'll give it front page tomorrow on Mint. (Inaudible)
32
00:06:06,048 --> 00:06:19,615
Niira Radia: I would have got it on HT also. Sanjoy Narayan was hell bent on getting it.
Ganapathy: Sanjoy is .. who said these?
Niira Radia: No no, Shobana has stepped in.
33
00:06:19,615 --> 00:06:26,015
Niira Radia: Shobana has clearly stepped in and told them, 'Nothing doing on this one.'
Ganapathy: Oh, I see.
34
00:06:26,015 --> 00:06:37,279
Niira Radia: Nothing doing.. that's very, very clear... that's a bit of an unfortunate thing because.. no point giving.. then that will be a problem <i>na</i>.. so you tell them..
35
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:56,735
Ganapathy: No, no I have already spoken to them. So now Rahul and others are finding a way how to do it. I am pretty sure they must be getting hundreds of phone calls from you know the..
36
00:06:56,735 --> 00:07:15,167
Niira Radia: No, but Ravi has promised me that if he intervenes on Tony.. by Tony's say so tomorrow.. if he intervenes.. then I have told him very clearly.. I said I had a long chat with Jojo today almost for about half an hour on this issue and I have explained to him and I have told Ravi also today..
37
00:07:15,167 --> 00:07:28,223
Niira Radia: I said, look you know, we are in a fight and you know, we have set an expectation. And if you go by a set until then fine. Then we'll draw the line.
38
00:07:28,223 --> 00:07:49,216
Ganapathy: I have introduced the element of natural resource in that. They all want to make sure that the natural resource is distributed in line with the allocation policy and not in line with anything else.
39
00:07:49,216 --> 00:07:58,432
Ganapathy: So that will be forming an integral part of the..
Niira Radia: <i>Ganu tum thoda dekh lo isko, abhi bhi time hai na</i> (Ganu take a look at this, there is still time right?)
40
00:07:58,432 --> 00:08:20,191
Ganapathy: Yeah yeah they are still working on it. I have told my key person. I will speak to them again. My only worry is that.. I have a feeling that it's going to get permanance in Mumbai but not so much in Delhi.
41
00:08:20,191 --> 00:08:31,967
Niira Radia: That will not be good.
Ganapathy: But anyway, so I will work on that.. speak to them again. But if you need to tell anybody, remind anybody - you can do that.
42
00:08:31,967 --> 00:08:38,880
Niira Radia: You think I should do that?
Ganapathy: Yeah yeah, one reminder nothing... no harm.
43
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:47,839
Niira Radia: Then they'll know that I know.. I'm keeping an eye.
Ganapathy: In that case then leave it to me. I'll speak to these guys.
44
00:08:47,839 --> 00:08:56,799
Niira Radia: What about the Andhra government letter Ganu? Because I have that. I didn't give it to her today intentionally. I didn't want to give it to her. But that's a big letter.
45
00:08:56,799 --> 00:09:01,919
Ganapathy: I think let's take that up separately.
Niira Radia: No, no that I'll give you only now.
46
00:09:01,919 --> 00:09:18,815
Niira Radia: <i>Yeh bhi maine isko diya</i> (I gave this too to her).. because you told me to give it to her.
Ganapathy: Yeah yeah .. I wanted government extentions because she told me that she has spoken to people in our office and they were okay with this idea.
47
00:09:18,815 --> 00:09:35,968
Ganapathy: After that I said okay fine. In that case, we should let it go if it's getting comment, we should get it. But that was my find. Anyway I'll check out the man and in the next half an hour I'll call these people and speak to them. And then work it out.
48
00:09:35,968 --> 00:09:51,583
Niira Radia: Because today they were trying to spread this whole rumor, that this whole issue is.. that the government has not been served notice, which is not true.
49
00:09:51,583 --> 00:10:01,567
Ganapathy: What they were trying to say is that the government is not been made party to the case.. it can only be a interceptor not a respondent or something like that.
50
00:10:01,567 --> 00:10:15,646
Niira Radia: Correct, correct yeah. But that's not true, right? They are an intervenor and respondent both. Intervenor on their side, respondent from our side.
51
00:10:15,646 --> 00:10:21,791
Ganapathy: This is the RNRL story.
Niira Radia: Yeah yeah.. it's coming?
52
00:10:21,791 --> 00:10:42,783
Ganapathy: That was there <i>na</i> earlier.. during the day Supriya had taken all this <i>na</i>? Saying whatever they said... about the lawyer saying that they should be allowed to tell and how.. that the government is not a respondent and what the intervenor.. blah blah.. and all that..
53
00:10:42,783 --> 00:10:53,534
Niira Radia: If she is carrying that story then it will be allowed because then they'll have a problem. Supriya's written that story <i>na</i>?
Ganapathy: Yeah yeah.
54
00:10:53,534 --> 00:11:07,102
Niira Radia: Well, let us see how it goes.
Ganapathy: Maybe ask somebody to give a call to Bodhi or somebody?
55
00:11:07,102 --> 00:11:16,575
Ganapathy: I think because today he was working a little late maybe somebody can give him a point.
Niira Radia: I'll tell him what? That I know that's its not coming on Sunday?
56
00:11:16,575 --> 00:11:41,919
Ganapathy: No, no don't say that. You should .. I think first you should ask somebody else to speak just to say that they shouldn't give too much importance to all that.. lies spread vice.. you know I'm saying that government is not a respondent etc.. so.. that should be fine.
57
00:11:41,919 --> 00:11:51,135
Ganapathy: Once that goes down then that comes up whatever the..
Niira Radia: But how prominent is that story compared to this one?
58
00:11:51,135 --> 00:11:59,838
Ganapathy: Not so much.
Niira Radia: Because this is a big story.
Ganapathy: Of course, of course.
59
00:11:59,838 --> 00:12:13,406
Niira Radia: You know Ganu I just want to know whether you wanted me to give it to Rohini which is why I gave it to her.. I am not interested in working with her. Because I know you and I don't know why I have to work with her.
60
00:12:13,406 --> 00:12:24,671
Ganapathy: Let me.. that we will.. let me see how consistent she is .. then given all that we will..
Niira Radia: No I am under the impression that she is working under your supervision.
61
00:12:24,671 --> 00:12:38,239
Ganapathy: Yeah, of course.
Niira Radia: Because she is a bit of a loudmouth. Yeah so you know I'd much rather work with you and understand from you what you want and work it that way I mean..
62
00:12:38,239 --> 00:12:49,247
Ganapathy: First I wanted to read that copy you know... before that I am fully aware of the background and stuff..
Niira Radia: Which copy? this SMC?
63
00:12:49,247 --> 00:12:59,742
Ganapathy: <i>Haan haan</i>.
Niira Radia: <i>Tumko mila nahin kya</i>? (You didn't receive it or what Ganu?) I am surprised. Rohit said he had sent it to you. To the studio. It's come in a hard copy, it's come in an envelope to you.
64
00:12:59,742 --> 00:13:12,031
Ganapathy: In my office?
Niira Radia: Yeah.
Ganapathy: No it's not. If it had been so then Rohit would have told me on phone that <i>koi aa raha hai </i> (someone is coming).. or whatever.
65
00:13:12,031 --> 00:13:19,455
Niira Radia: Okay then I better tell Cecilia to send it herself tomorrow.
Ganapathy: Yeah yeah sure. If there is a problem it can be sent to my residence.
66
00:13:19,455 --> 00:13:34,046
Niira Radia: Yeah yeah I'll make sure it gets sent to you straigtaway tomorrow.
Ganapathy: Sure sure.. because..
Niira Radia: I told him very clearly to send it to you and he said I sent it, he confirmed to me I sent it, it's gone to ET Now.
67
00:13:34,046 --> 00:13:50,942
Niira Radia: Oh God.. okay tomorrow Manoj Modi is meeting MC Venu .. this one .. TK Arun.. maybe. I am setting up a separate time for you and Supriya also .. for you, not Supriya.. you have to tell me who you want to bring from ET Now..
68
00:13:50,942 --> 00:13:54,015
Ganapathy: Okay fine.
Niira Radia: Yeah?
Ganapathy: Yeah yeah sure.
69
00:13:54,015 --> 00:14:04,255
Niira Radia: Who would you like to bring because you are the Chief of Bureau here.. so who would you like to bring?
Ganapathy: Is it also going to be tomorrow?
Niira Radia: <i>Nahi nahin </i>(No, no) on Thursday.
70
00:14:04,255 --> 00:14:12,958
Ganapathy: What time will we meet, roughly?
Niira Radia: I am hoping in the afternoon at about 3 o'clock.
71
00:14:12,958 --> 00:14:28,575
Ganapathy: Sure, sure. Let me find out tomorrow and tell you how it can work out..
Niira Radia: Because the ET Now bureau in Bombay will be briefed <i>haan</i>. So I don't want them to be briefed and you are not briefed.
72
00:14:28,575 --> 00:14:37,023
Ganapathy: Yeah I know.
Niira Radia: I'm gonna do that. So I'm gonna put that in the schedule tomorrow or day after.
73
00:14:37,023 --> 00:14:54,430
Ganapathy: Okay. So what I will now do is.. in the next 15-20 minutes I will quickly speak to the people concerned.
Niira Radia: Call me back and let me look at the itinerary of Manoj Modi in the meantime...and just see which timings I can slot you.. because you have to tell me who you want to bring along with you.
74
00:14:54,430 --> 00:15:04,717
Ganapathy: Sure sure..
Niira Radia: It's completely off the record. And I'll be at the Chambers.
Ganapathy: Of course, of course, without a doubt.
Niira Radia: And it'll be at the Chambers.
Ganapathy: Ok fine, now I'll -

Niira Radia: Vir, just one thing, you know, explain to him...
3
00:00:20,959 --> 00:00:26,079
Vir Sanghvi: Yeah.
Niira Radia: ...that when they send their list of five cabinet ministers, they had sent Maran for Railways...
4
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:30,431
Vir Sanghvi: Okay.
Niira Radia: They had sent Surface Transportation for Baalu...

Vir Sanghvi: Okay.
Niira Radia: ...Telecom for Raja.
6
00:00:32,223 --> 00:00:34,016

Niira Radia: ...Health for Kanni...

Niira Radia: ...Power for Baalu, Power for Baalu.
8
00:00:37,344 --> 00:00:40,416
Vir Sanghvi: Okay.
Niira Radia: And Surface for Azhagiri...
9
00:00:40,416 --> 00:00:45,024
Vir Sanghvi: Okay.
Niira Radia: ...knowing because, because Karunanidhi was under pressure from his family...
10
00:00:45,024 --> 00:00:48,096
Vir Sanghvi: Yeah.
Niira Radia: ...knowing Power and Railways would never be accepted.
11
00:00:48,096 --> 00:00:50,144
Vir Sanghvi: That's right.
Niira Radia: Both people would have been dropped.
12
00:00:50,144 --> 00:00:57,312
Vir Sanghvi: Oh, I see.
Niira Radia: And he says, you know, this whole, because he doesn't know how to explain the man, you know, old...
13
00:00:57,312 --> 00:01:03,456
Vir Sanghvi: Yeah.
Niira Radia: ...but actually and then they could have got away with two with Azhagiri and Raja and Kanni would have happily accepted MoS as independent.
14
00:01:03,456 --> 00:01:09,856
Vir Sanghvi: That's right. Yeah, yeah. So, basically its Maran, no?
Niira Radia: Yeah. So, the moment you drop him you solved your problem.
15
00:01:09,856 --> 00:01:13,183
Vir Sanghvi: Who are they dealing with?
Niira Radia: They are dealing with Maran, Congress is talking to Maran.

Niira Radia: I believe various people, I know he is in touch with Ahmed Patel, he is in touch with Ghulam Nabi Azad.
17
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,912
Vir Sanghvi: Okay.
Niira Radia: But Ghulam Nabi Azad doesn't like him.
18
00:01:22,912 --> 00:01:29,250
Vir Sanghvi: No. Even Ahmed doesn't like him. Nobody likes him.

Tarun Das: Hi.
Niira Radia: Good morning, how are you?
3
00:00:14,303 --> 00:00:21,472
Tarun Das: Are you in your favourite Bombay?
Niira Radia: No, no, I'm in Delhi... Supreme Court matter.. I came back over the weekend.
4
00:00:21,472 --> 00:00:38,624
Tarun Das: Okay, good.
Niira Radia: Yeah yeah I mean.. I spoke to (?) last night about this whole being invited that Jadhav had met him.. I told Ratan I said don't do it. Seriously yeah yeah he shouldn't do it because they want him to ratify all the deals that they have done <i>na</i>..
5
00:00:38,624 --> 00:00:55,520
Tarun Das: He shouldn't do it. I was surprised to see this.
Niira Radia: No no, they've asked him .. Jadhav approached him and Patel.. in fact if I were you I would also send him a notej. You should because Tarun, they want him to ratify all the...
6
00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:13,440
Niira Radia: There have been huge kickbacks in Air India you know what's been going on... yeah.. what they're donna do is, they're gonna bring him there, they're gonna try and make him ratify those deals. And make them look cleaner than everything.. he shouldn't do it. There's enough on his own plate.
7
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,768
Tarun Das: Has he already agreed?
Niira Radia: No, he's not.
8
00:01:16,768 --> 00:01:26,496
Niira Radia: I told him. I said what are you gonna do? He said Niira send me the note on what's been going on so then when I write, I'll write in substance but then I told him.. I said I'm gonna say no comment for now.
9
00:01:26,496 --> 00:01:41,856
Niira Radia: And.. but Jojo called me yesterday from Bombay.. he said Niira this has happened.. is it true? And I said yeah.. he's got an invite but he hasn't accepted as yet. He's not gonna do it.
10
00:01:41,856 --> 00:01:56,447
Niira Radia: In fact I really think I need to bring Sunil Arora in there.
Tarun Das: You know when Ratan was chairman of Air India, appointed by Rajeev Gandhi, I was on his board.
11
00:01:56,447 --> 00:02:18,720
Tarun Das: Which was so traumatic.. getting anything done.. and nothing has changed. In fact it has deteriorated. And you know Praful plays big games. So, he won't have a free hand. It's an advisory committee. It's just whitewash.
12
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:27,935
Niira Radia: It's a whitewash and they want him to do this only to...and why should...it's different if the Prime Minister would have invited Ratan.
Tarun Das: Absolutely.
13
00:02:27,935 --> 00:02:49,439
Tarun Das: And you know, it's like the Satyam Board. I'll give you the difference. Prime Minister personally called, personally: please come, please help, please solve. And I am with you, you are reporting to me. In my absence you're reporting to the acting Prime Minister Pranab Mukherjee. It's like that.
14
00:02:49,439 --> 00:03:11,199
Tarun Das: It's not dealing with any Minister, we're not dealing with PC Gupta. So I don't think this has.. this in fact what will happen is.. Praful will do a whitewash and show the Prime Minister.. you see I'm doing all the right things here.. there Ratan Tata, dream man for you. You have the highest respect for him. I have got him to do it.
15
00:03:11,199 --> 00:03:27,583
Tarun Das: So many irregularities. Every picture wants Sunil Arora, get him back. I don't know who this Jadhav guy is.
Niira Radia: They need to bring Sunil Arora but you know, Prime Minister has to take that move because Praful will never allow him to come in.
16
00:03:27,583 --> 00:03:36,287
Niira Radia: They will never allow him. Praful will never... because he knows all the deals no.
Tarun Das: I will talk to PM when he comes back from Europe.
17
00:03:36,287 --> 00:03:49,599
Niira Radia: Yeah.. but Tarun I'd sent a letter to Ratan <i>haan</i>. Tell him that (inaudible), tell him that the Prime Minister should have invited him. Not some MB of the airline you know.
18
00:03:49,599 --> 00:04:09,311
Tarun Das: Praful Patel.. and this is all being you know... Prime Minister's office doesn't even know about it. You know what I mean? It's probably, you would read about it in the newspapers, or maybe a message has been sent to him you know saying that they're asking him and all that...and this is what Air India writes.
19
00:04:09,311 --> 00:04:23,391
Tarun Das: And this will not.. Air India's problems are much deeper. By the way, Air India can be a great airline. It can be.
Niira Radia: But you need (inaudible) get rid of all these guys you know. You need to bring in people who really want to run it.
20
00:04:23,391 --> 00:04:30,815
Tarun Das: Naresh wants to kill it, Vijay wants to kill it.
Niira Radia: They want to strip assets.
21
00:04:30,815 --> 00:04:42,079
Tarun Das: Praful is not really interested.
Niira Radia: You know Tarun they have been selling bilaterals. You should see the deals they have been cutting. That airline's coming and telling us this.
22
00:04:42,079 --> 00:05:02,303
Niira Radia: The ones that did not want to pay. They have made a fortune by selling all those bilaterals. Air India's got no value any longer. It's only got a 14,000 crore debt. I mean it's got no value any longer from that point of view. It really needs very dedicated group of people who really want to turn it around.
23
00:05:02,303 --> 00:05:12,031
Tarun Das: I agree. I was really surprised to see Ratan's name on the front page you know.
Niira Radia: Yeah.. but it's not.. I mean I have also told him and you should also write to him.
24
00:05:12,031 --> 00:05:16,384
Tarun Das: I will write to this personal email id.
Niira Radia: Yeah that's right, you should do that.
25
00:05:16,384 --> 00:05:26,623
Niira Radia: This guy is not there in the afternoon Tarun. He has to go to Chandigarh. So he's saying he can do Friday.
Tarun Das: Yeah sure, Friday is fine.
26
00:05:26,623 --> 00:05:30,207
Niira Radia: Are you okay with Friday?
Tarun Das: Yeah, Friday is fine. I'm here.
27
00:05:30,207 --> 00:05:39,423
Niira Radia: I'll go ahead and confirm. If it is Friday then I'll probably come along with you.
Tarun Das: if this thing works out, what will be the deal?
28
00:05:39,423 --> 00:05:43,007
Niira Radia: The land?
Tarun Das: Yeah.
29
00:05:43,007 --> 00:05:57,343
Niira Radia: I'll work it out, you don't worry about it. I'll sort it out. You see no, what we can do. Maybe he can give it a massive concession. Rest we'll handle, you don't worry about it Tarun.
30
00:05:57,343 --> 00:06:06,048
Niira Radia: It's my responsibility to get you 5 acres.
Tarun Das: Okay now what is the issue with Pranoy? What is the background? What do you think?
31
00:06:06,048 --> 00:06:15,264
Niira Radia: He finally called me and he said no I am sorry I wasn't able to.. you see I've been sending him SMSes and he's not been responding. And I know he's in a lot of financial issues and all that.
32
00:06:15,264 --> 00:06:34,720
Tarun Das: I know that.
Niira Radia: I know he met Mukesh last week and you know also.. and the thing is that I.. he needs to understand.. I think Pranoy needs to understand that we really, out of everyone.. he is one person we all have a lot of respect for.. especially you and I.. personally I have a lot of respect for him.
33
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:47,776
Niira Radia: So whether it is Ratan or.. he always goes to people through the wrong.. he goes through stale or he goes through somebody else. Of course he has gone through Kamath also but he is going through you which is good.. and you are asking him..
34
00:06:47,776 --> 00:07:03,647
Niira Radia: So he needs to...I thought he - I was under the impression that he was a little upset with me because I didn't give him Ratan on a couple of occasions when he wanted him on air. But I can't do that. I can't send Ratan for awards which he doesn't want to receive you know.
35
00:07:03,647 --> 00:07:15,167
Niira Radia: So Radhika and Pranoy and all were quite annoyed with me because I didn't do that. I tried to explain this to Pranoy, i said Pranoy do something else which is going to be special and I will promise you he'll be there.
36
00:07:15,167 --> 00:07:28,992
Niira Radia: I always thought that he is a little irritated with me after that but I sent him another SMS yesterday saying 'Listen Naina I'm trying to reach you.. Manoj Modi is in town, I want you to meet him and talk to him and understand what's going on.'
37
00:07:28,992 --> 00:07:41,279
Niira Radia: Then he replied back saying that 'Sorry I'm really caught up with the budget but yes please let's meet and all that.' But whenever you do meet him, maybe you can just let him know.. that I only have good words for him... I don't have..
38
00:07:41,279 --> 00:07:54,847
Niira Radia: You're meeting Sunil today is it?
Tarun Das: No it's got postponed to tomorrow. He called last night. Sharad Pawar has called him at 10.45. So he said can we move it to tomorrow. Fine.. tomorrow.
39
00:07:54,847 --> 00:08:03,295
Tarun Das: I'm here all this week, fairly easy.
Niira Radia: I've got Manoj Modi to phone (inaudible) today with all this Reliance stuff..
40
00:08:03,295 --> 00:08:12,000
Tarun Das: Right, right.
Niira Radia: Tomorrow I'm here.. tomorrow I should be there. Friday I'm here.. Friday I'll come with you to the land..
41
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:31,967
Niira Radia: When you meet Sunil.. you can tell, Niira told me that you've met and he'll ask you about me.. you can tell him all the bad things. He will probably ask you what you think.
42
00:08:31,967 --> 00:08:44,512
Tarun Das: Can you arrange a meeting between him and RNJ?
Niira Radia: I've given him a session yesterday on the phone. I said look, you are giving Vir Sanghvi an interview on Friday. I know Ratan's mind.
43
00:08:44,512 --> 00:09:01,151
Niira Radia: Ratan will meet him but I have to set the stage. Now there's a larger issue of spectrum that you're fighting. Let Vir ask you the question about do you think all these natural resources should priced and you should say yes. Because now you are in favour of that.
44
00:09:01,151 --> 00:09:11,648
Niira Radia: Then Vir can say that you had said that you know.. when Ratan Tata offered us a price you said you can give it to the Prime Minister's relief fund if he has so much money.
45
00:09:11,648 --> 00:09:24,960
Niira Radia: And you should say that I should have not said that and I do believe but Ratan was right. You know I said we'll come out not only looking magnanimous, we'll come out looking credible. We'll kill two birds with one stone.
46
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:42,878
Niira Radia: And I can then take that CD to Ratan and say look he's even gone on air now. Because that's what Ratan needs. Then he will.. atleast we will have got 50% of it. I know, Ratan, you know, he is very cut up about that statement. So Sunil needs to correct that.
47
00:09:42,878 --> 00:09:53,399
Niira Radia: I think he will come out looking very good doing it you know.
Tarun: I'll tell him.
Niira Radia: Yeah, so that can help him. And I can always ask Vir to ask that question of him. Yeah?

00:03:00,559 --> 00:03:06,591
Niira Radia: No, no, no, no. You remember when earlier he had indicated that he was talking to the family and all that.
Sunil Arora: Hmm.
30
00:03:06,591 --> 00:03:11,455
Niira Radia: I...in the current context, I would not believe it.
Sunil Arora: Hmm
31
00:03:11,455 --> 00:03:14,783
Niira Radia: Im also told he has become persona non grata there right now
32
00:03:14,783 --> 00:03:19,647
Sunil Arora: Maybe...whatever that evening he told me, I told you. The only thing...
33
00:03:19,647 --> 00:03:25,279
Niira Radia: <i>Nahin, uski baat mein nahin kar rahi, uski baat mein nahin kar rahi. Main tumhari baat kar rahi hoon jab usne tumhari issue raise kee thee na in logon ke saath</i>. (No, Im not talking about that, Im not talking about that. Im talking about you and that time he raised your issue with these people)
34
00:03:25,279 --> 00:03:29,375
Sunil Arora: <i>Kin logon ke saath</i>? (With who?) No no, I never told that...I never even asked Shrivastav for that.
35
00:03:29,375 --> 00:03:32,447
Niira Radia: That was ages ago.
36
00:03:32,447 --> 00:03:40,639
Sunil Arora: Never, not even once. Shri Shrivastav se maine apne baare mein kabhi baat hee na kee. (I never spoke with Shri Shrivastav about myself) Never.
Niira Radia: You told me once.
37
00:03:40,639 --> 00:03:52,927
Sunil Arora: No, no, no, no. Not Shri Shrivastav at all. I think there is a mistake here. Shri Shrivastav <i>se toh meri baat hee us din hui hai, che mahine, aath mahine baad. Aur maine pehle bhi past mein kabhi</i> Shri Shrivastav <i>se kaha nahin ki mere baare mein bat kare</i>. (I spoke with Shti Shrivastav then, after 6 or 8 months. And in the past, I never asked Shri Shrivastav to speak about me.)
Niira Radia: Uh huh.
38
00:03:52,927 --> 00:03:59,583
Sunil Arora: I know he is loud-mouthed in some senses and he is not reliable. Never, Shri Shrivastav, never.
39
00:03:59,583 --> 00:04:00,863
Niira Radia: Ok, <i>tum bhej dena ye</i> at least. (Ok, you send this over at least.)
40
00:04:00,863 --> 00:04:06,239
Sunil Arora: <i>Woh toh</i> the last he talked about that...that phone call and all that. That I told you, no?
Niira Radia: Uh huh.
41
00:04:06,239 --> 00:04:08,031
Sunil Arora: That we talked more than once.
Niira Radia: Haan.
42
00:04:08,031 --> 00:04:12,895
Sunil Arora: As I was telling you, Shrivastav se aaj tak bhi baat nahin kee mere baare mein kisi se baat karne (To date, I never asked Shrivastav to speak on my behalf with anyone.)
Niira Radia: Haan
43
00:04:12,895 --> 00:04:18,015
Sunil Arora: Not even, not even once in the last ten years.
44
00:04:18,015 --> 00:04:20,575
Niira Radia: Toh theek hai. Youll send it, na? Ill send somebody on Friday
45
00:04:20,575 --> 00:04:22,880
Sunil Arora: <i>Haan</i>, Friday <i>ko bhej dena</i>. ( Yes, send him on Friday.)
Niira Radia: Haan ok, ok bye.
46
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,695

Niira Radia: Haan, haan.

48
00:04:28,511 --> 00:04:31,839
Niira Radia: Woh, haan haan haan. Main Cecilia ko kah ke bol doongi. (Yes, yes, yes. Ill talk to Cecilia about it.) Sorry Im so caught up in...
49
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,888
Sunil Arora: Jang <i>ka aur</i> Pradeep Baijal <i>ka</i>.(Jang's and Pradeep Baijal's)
Niira Radia: Will do, will do.
50
00:04:33,888 --> 00:04:39,527
Sunil Arora: And if possible, just send me this address of Mr. Das also. Ill send him a card with a letter, thats all.
Niira Radia: Will do. All three.
51
00:04:39,527 --> 00:04:42,281
Sunil Arora: Ok, thank you, thank you.
Niira Radia: Ok, bye.

Niira: Hi
Ganu : Hi, so finally...
3
00:00:21,009 --> 00:00:23,259
Niira: Hello
Ganu : ...everything has come to a stop now.
4
00:00:23,259 --> 00:00:25,287
Niira: Ganu?
Ganu : <i>Haan</i>(Yes)?
5
00:00:25,287 --> 00:00:29,287
Niira: <i>Kya hai bhai</i> (What's going on)? (sound resembling key presses on mobile). G-g Ganu?
Ganu : <i>Haan</i>?
6
00:00:29,287 --> 00:00:34,758
Niira: <i>Kya hua bhai</i>? You people didn't... didn't take care?
7
00:00:34,758 --> 00:00:39,212
Ganu : No. No, no. We did everything and I mean in fact that turned out to be counter-productive.
8
00:00:39,212 --> 00:01:11,349
Ganu: First I...they were ok with carrying both the things without front page... little...on the inside, both side by side, with a little window pointer of the front page. So after we spoke and people pointed out that this is a more important story... this that... I think there's some fight that has happened, you know... Delhi versus Bombay... and some and you know everyday there are complaints from both sides. So for, for sometime they're going to now resign from publishing anything on this.
9
00:01:11,349 --> 00:01:16,888
Niira: I don't think so. Because I was told that TK Arun didn't even know about this story.
10
00:01:16,888 --> 00:01:24,043
Ganu : TK?
Niira: TK Arun...
Ganu : <i>Haan</i>?
Niira: ...didn't even know. Bodhi hold...held it back.
11
00:01:24,043 --> 00:01:34,746
Ganu : <i>Na</i>... It was only...It was only with Bodhi. It never went to TK Arun.
Niira: Yea, but it is a... (inaudible) it's a belly story.
12
00:01:34,746 --> 00:01:37,688
Ganu : Yea... But you know, it doesn't necessarily move like that, <i>na</i>.
13
00:01:37,688 --> 00:01:53,106
Ganu: There's another person in Bombay, you might be knowing called Shaji.
Niira: Who?
Ganu : Shaji, Shaji.
Niira: Yea.
Ganu : So, it is coordinated by Shaji Vikraman and Bodhi in Bombay.
14
00:01:53,106 --> 00:02:17,880
Niira: <i>Haan, haan</i>.
Ganu : Otherwise it is coordinated by TK Arun and Javed in Delhi. But this one was... err... specifically at the instruction of Rahul now it is being coordinated from Bombay. And last night since their were so many claims and counter-claims ...and since some of the guys, these guys went and told them after we spoke...
15
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:28,213
Niira: Seriously...
Ganu : You know, that how can this be, you know, compared to that. This is far more important and all that.
Niira: Hmmm...
Ganu : Then they said this this this... too much of confusion happening because of this.
16
00:02:28,213 --> 00:02:31,981
Ganu: Everyday there are complaints from one side or other. So...
17
00:02:31,981 --> 00:02:37,392
Niira: But here we didn't, I didn't, I haven't spoken to anyone other than I spoke to Rohini and Venk-..Venu.
Ganu : <i>Haan</i>...
18
00:02:37,392 --> 00:02:42,393
Niira: Just now to understand what's happening.
Ganu : No they're, they're calling up and complaining everyday <i>na</i> (isn't it)? First they...
19
00:02:42,393 --> 00:02:53,052
Niira: Yea but then, Ganu tell me one thing. If they do lie...
Ganu : Hmmm...
Niira: ...and if they do wrong...
Ganu : Hmmm...
Niira: ...then what will happen? Won't they, won't people report on it? Isn't that journalism?
20
00:02:53,052 --> 00:03:07,895
Ganu : No no no, exactly. I asked... What they're saying is - On the EGoM story, they vehemently went and complained after we wrote that saying that you know they are only trying to undermine our case- by saying that the government has to you know play a role and all that.
21
00:03:07,895 --> 00:03:23,631
Niira: Hmmm...
Ganu : Then I think on-on on the other story, on the day when it went to the court where they made a hodge podge of it, I think there were some complaints from your side. I don't know who made those complaints.
Niira: No, we never made any complaint.
22
00:03:23,631 --> 00:03:28,179
Ganu : <i>Woh keh raha hai ki us din ka</i> (He was saying that the other day) there were some complaints, objections from your side.
23
00:03:28,179 --> 00:03:35,468
Niira: Not at all. We've not made any complaints, we've not talked to anyone. On the contrary, I've been so co-operative by
giving edit pieces of Mukesh Ambani everything.
24
00:03:35,468 --> 00:03:36,457
Ganu : Hmmm, hmmm.
25
00:03:36,457 --> 00:03:39,956
Niira: (inaudible)
26
00:03:39,956 --> 00:03:57,460
Ganu : And as as as a result, <i>kal andar bhi kaafi kuchh</i> (internally also there were), you know, firing of volleys from here and there <i>bohot hua hai</i> (has happened a lot). So as a result, as a result, they've not carried both the reports that whatever, that <i>koi</i> (some) Agarwal lawyer no, some whatever, his statement and this - both have been stopped yesterday, last night.
27
00:03:57,460 --> 00:04:05,461
Niira: Yea, but whatever Agarwal said was in interest of ADAG to stop in any case because-I'm told the ADAG has really bashed him for saying that in the first place.
Ganu : Ohh...
28
00:04:05,461 --> 00:04:08,961
Niira: For (inaudible) he says to the government.
Ganu : Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm...
29
00:04:08,961 --> 00:04:11,990
Niira: What trading and all that he has said that <i>na</i>.
30
00:04:11,990 --> 00:04:20,212
Ganu : Hmmm...this is what I heard from my guys in the desk. The guy staff ...insiders sit in the office late at night.
31
00:04:20,212 --> 00:04:25,425
Niira: No, so I'm told now, that what you're telling me now is that ET is not going to carry anything in the court case at all?
32
00:04:25,425 --> 00:04:34,963
Ganu : No, no, no... not like that. There ...only wherever there are some court orders or something whatever, only major things they're going to report, otherwise...
33
00:04:34,963 --> 00:04:40,728
Niira: So the GVK rights, the state government rights, the government rights - none of this is gonna get carried?
34
00:04:40,728 --> 00:04:49,716
Ganu : I think, I think that is what they're coming to.
Niira: Wow!... <i>Chalo</i> (come), we'll go to HT then.
35
00:04:49,716 --> 00:04:54,997
Ganu : Or, you speak to Ravi once <i>na</i>, and ask him <i>ki</i> (that) what is this, I mean...
36
00:04:54,997 --> 00:05:07,737
Niira: I'm not going to... I'm just gonna go. I'm meeting Raghav today, and we'll just handle it with CNBC and with Mint and HT.
Ganu : Hmmm...
Niira: It's perfectly fine. We don't need to... it's fine! If ET wants to stay out of it and not be part of the reporting...
37
00:05:07,737 --> 00:05:08,750
Ganu : Hmmm...
38
00:05:08,750 --> 00:05:30,390
Niira: So it's fine.
Ganu : Err... it'll be, it'll be entirely their loss, But at the same time you should not, you know, give them an opportunity. What these guys will do after a couple of days, I will, they will try and come and jump back saying we will... I told you <i>na</i>, already they have said to some of the people in my office- that we will provide you all things, in advance this that blah blah blah, blah blah blah...
39
00:05:30,390 --> 00:05:32,012
Ganu: <i>Theek hai</i> (Alright) I'll I'll...
40
00:05:32,012 --> 00:05:35,080
Niira: (inaudible) their point of view <i>na</i>. We will not give anything to ET Now.
41
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:42,264
Ganu : Hmmmm... that's what is going to happen. I think the kind of (inaudible) stand that is being taken, I think,
ultimately it is coming to that.
42
00:05:42,264 --> 00:05:58,014
Niira: Oh, it suits Preeti and Rahul and people like that very much because obviously the case is not going to go in their favour, because they've got a point of law that is not going to be in their favour, so we'll see. <i>Theek hai na</i>, doesn't matter Ganu, we'll see. I'll make sure that we work through CNBC, HT and (inaudible).
43
00:05:58,014 --> 00:06:04,642
Ganu : And I think, funnily what they've done is, they've led a TV report on this but not the paper.
44
00:06:04,642 --> 00:06:07,515
Niira: <i>Nahi karenge</i> Ganu, <i>humko</i> print <i>chahiye</i> (They won't do it, Ganu, we want print).
45
00:06:07,515 --> 00:06:12,769
Ganu : Hmmmm...I know, I know.
Niira: I'll do it (inaudible) via CNBC and HT. I have no issue.
46
00:06:12,769 --> 00:06:24,115
Ganu : I, I, I think that is the kind of message that is coming through. But once I get the confirmation, I'll tell you whether this is going to be the permanent position or what it is like.
47
00:06:24,115 --> 00:06:30,282
Niira: No, if that is the case then we will...(laughingly) then fine <i>na</i>... it's their call.
48
00:06:30,282 --> 00:06:51,286
Ganu : No but I think, I think, today you should, you know, tell Venu that you know, at least a couple of times yesterday it was mentioned to them and late at night messages were sent from several people. And you know now they're saying internally this has become a fight dividing factor. You know, they're saying that internally this is dividing people internally blah blah blah whatever.
49
00:06:51,286 --> 00:07:00,295
Niira: Because, because, because you've got people like Javed and everybody who's on their side no.
Ganu : <i>Haan woh aisa</i> (Yes, that)...there is some kind of <i>gadbad</i> (hodge podge) like that.
50
00:07:00,295 --> 00:07:13,808
Niira: Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm.
Ganu : So, But ultimately, it... the management and Rahul have to, you know, take a stand on this and, you know, see... We should, we should not go by what people say. we should go by what the factual position is.
51
00:07:13,808 --> 00:07:17,808
Niira: Hmmmm...
Ganu : So that is the entire fight about (sic).
52
00:07:17,808 --> 00:07:21,808
Niira: Hmmm...<i>Theek hai</i> (OK).
Ganu : I'll, I'll keep you updated in the afternoon.
53
00:07:21,808 --> 00:07:24,639
Niira: OK.
Ganu : OK.
54
00:07:24,639 --> 00:07:24,639

Surojeet- Ya ya..

00:00:31,340 --> 00:00:45,180
Nira- He met him and asked him and you know, as far as...There are so many ills of the airlines...<i>ye tum likhoge to nahi</i> (you will not going to write this, are you)?
Surojeet- <i>Haan ekdum likhenge (yes, will write, of course) </i> I am writing an edit on how Patil has screwed the airline.
5
00:00:45,180 --> 00:00:53,166
Nira: Yeah, so basically now what they trying to do all the deals they are made, they trying to ratify it by having someone like Ratan Tata there.
6
00:00:53,166 --> 00:00:55,188
Surojeet- Just to...
7
00:00:55,188 --> 00:01:03,941
Nira- Yeah, you know...instead of getting...it's been...basically what have they done?- They've done bilaterals, they've given away with the asset from the airline.
8
00:01:03,941 --> 00:01:19,218
Surojeet- Absolutely.
Nira- Their attempt was the (inaudible) the airlines so that two carriers would benefit <i>na</i>, So given the thankfully their economic downturn cause them a problem also, otherwise <i>ye</i> airline <i>ko bech dete</i> (they would have sold the airline).
9
00:01:19,218 --> 00:01:39,613
Surojeet- Hmm, hmm, hmm.
Nira- So now they are trying to bring Ratan Tata in to show the Prime Minister- <i>ki</i> (that) they're gonna do something...<i>to wo to nahi kar rahe</i> (he is not going to do it) he is not stupid <i>na</i>... He knows that Patel is using him to ratify his own dues that he is done... <i>to wo to nahi karega ...wo to mujhe nahi lagata ki</i> (then, he will not do it, I don't think that) he is going to take it on, anything.
10
00:01:39,613 --> 00:01:47,704
Nira: And I think the government's gonna, Prime Minister's gonna have to step in and take over the charge of national carrier.
Surojeet- Yeah, absolutely otherwise <i>nahi hoga</i> (it will not happen).
11
00:01:47,704 --> 00:02:25,375
Nira: You can't leave it to Prafull Patel, I think if you are writing then you should write <i>na</i> how he's screwed up the airline.
Surojeet- <i>Nahi nahi</i> (No no), I am doing, I am doing for their sake I am doing of how he played the whole bilateral game, and how he...gave right to the - I was waiting for the figures I have got all the figures, I mean how Etihad was, Etihad airlines was nowhere three years ago now it is fourth largest airline in India. Then Emirates, we got some very interesting figures like in 2004 when he came, -there were 2.5 million seats given on the Middle East route now it is 7.5 million.
12
00:02:25,375 --> 00:02:44,481
Nira- Yeah, And one other thing is the time of disinvestment when Air India was disinvested, -the most intrinsic value of Air India was bilaterals, barring the... hangerage and of course the ground handling and all that they had. Now even that's open. With the privatization of airport is open to all...
Surojeet- Yeah ...
13
00:02:44,481 --> 00:03:02,537
Nira: Question of that having any value no longer applies 'cause they've got old equipments now. So at best what the value of Air India becomes is real estate which is what these two private carriers want. <i>Unko tho</i> hangerage <i>chahiye na</i> so this (inaudible) (They want hangerage -inaudible-).
Surojeet: The asset was essentially bilateral and hangerage.
14
00:03:02,537 --> 00:03:17,292
Nira: But no it was ground handling, it was MRO, it was all their backend engineering capacity including the hangers and space in Mumbai. ...but now with the privatization of airport that all changes, you see?
Surojeet: Yeah yeah....
15
00:03:17,292 --> 00:03:27,949
Nira: In any case ground handling and MRO is now open to all...so they're destroyed now... The very people who are now trying to revive the - revive Air India gave away the bilaterals, destroyed its value.
16
00:03:27,949 --> 00:03:49,635
Nira: Remember that the forty MPs that opposed the disinvestment of Air India and this thing- included Prafull Patel and Sharad Pawar. It was Sharad Pawar that wrote to Vajpayee saying - why are you not allowing to Naresh Goyal to bid for Air India so...
Surojeet- You wrote a letter, is it?
17
00:03:49,635 --> 00:03:54,855
Nira- <i>Bahut purani</i> letter <i>hai</i>, Surojeet, <i>use</i> dig <i>karne me mujhe</i> It's a very old letter, Surojeet, to dig it out I'll)...I will have to go into storage -
18
00:03:54,855 --> 00:03:55,885
Surojeet: <i>Achaa achaa</i> (Yes, yes)
19
00:03:55,885 --> 00:04:18,211
Nira: But it is there, it's on record and I can assure you...nothing will...you will not be quoted wrong on it. And why was he not allowed. And these are the very people that are...there are today trying to...so called trying to put up a facade that they are trying to revive it. At that time the debt of airline was 3,000 crore in '98.
Surojeet: Ok.
20
00:04:18,211 --> 00:04:38,614
Nira: Taken it up to 14,000 crore and uh... -you know, they've taken it up to 14,000 crore, what is left? Huge huge huge orders what are they gonna do with these airlines, when the bilaterals have been given away to everybody else in the competition.
21
00:04:38,614 --> 00:05:18,506
Nira: And then don't forget to write about the merger.
Surojeet- Yeah.
Nira: I mean what...What good was the merger? It has only increased the problems. In fact what you should have you done, which is what the earlier government was trying to do was divest ground handling, divest um....this thing, MRO, so they could became the separate profit centers. Divest meaning Air India, Indian Airlines would still would have equity in it, and they would've still been in the majority player but divest it so they coulld have become separate profit centers and convert Air India, Indian Airlines into a virtual airline operation which is what is done the world over.

00:05:18,506 --> 00:05:26,593
Nira: These are the very people that opposed it. They stopped these facts and the SIEC deal happening, you remember?
Surojeet: Yes, absolutely.
23
00:05:26,593 --> 00:05:35,120
Nira: And then they brought in middle men like Deepak Talwar and everybody else to do deals for them on bilateral.
Surojeet: Get all those bilaterals from Middle East.
24
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:50,156
Nira: Yeah,yeah...so he worked to a conspiracy of the Middle East carriers -to destroy the national carriers successfully, <i>pura aise</i> strip <i>kiya hai</i> airline <i>ko</i> (the whole airline has been stripped in this way).
Surojeet: <i>Aur abhi badi badi baten kar rahen hain logon se</i> (And now he's talking big).
25
00:05:50,156 --> 00:05:55,159
Nira: <i>Arrey ab kya</i> (What can we do now). What he is trying to show now that he is turned it around?
26
00:05:55,159 --> 00:05:58,657
Surojeet: I am going to get a CEO, I am gonna - all rubbish, ya!
27
00:05:58,657 --> 00:06:18,183
Nira: Nobody can turn this airline around, if they ever want anything to do they should bring Sunil Arora back. He is the only -
Surojeet: Only guy. Yeah absolutely.
Nira: Nobody else can do it. Nobody in the...you know, he is the only one who brought uh...profitability to Indian airlines in many years.
Surojeet- Absolutely...
28
00:06:18,183 --> 00:06:34,770
Nira: Yeah so it was pretty much of a mess yeah...<i>kya ye log</i> (these people) <i>toh</i> Ratan Tata is not stupid fool, he is so...he will just write and tell them that he is not interested. <i>Woh jab aayega</i> letter <i>toh main tumko bhej dungi wo abhi</i> (When he returns I will send you the letter)...he is in Israel right now.
29
00:06:34,770 --> 00:07:08,391
Surojeet: We can say he is not going to accept.
Nira: I think he should say that you know he is unlikely to, given that in his previous tenure as chairman of Air India, he went through a traumatic time. The same lobbies had worked against him to ensure that he didn't get Air India at that time, had worked against him even on the domestic airline. And I think that, you know... that and he is far too occupied he's got his own businesses today to run.
30
00:07:08,391 --> 00:07:13,860
Nira: You can write that yeah. <i>Kya bhai ye log pagal log hain</i> (What are these people, they are mad)
31
00:07:13,860 --> 00:07:21,537
Nira: TOI <i>bhi kar raha hai ye</i> (TOI is also doing this) story I am telling you, just letting you know. <i>Ye log bhi ek</i> centre spread <i>kar rahen hain pura Air India pe</i> (These people are doing a centre spread on Air India).
32
00:07:21,537 --> 00:07:23,287
Surojeet: <i>Kaun</i>? (Who?)
Nira: TOI.
33
00:07:23,287 --> 00:07:44,078
Surojeet- <i>Achha</i>
Nira - <i>Pata nahi kab kar rahen hain, abhi inhone likhna shuru nahi kiya lekin mujhe</i> call <i>aayaa tha kal ki</i> please, help <i>kar de</i> (I don't know when, they've not begun writing it, I got a call yesterday saying please, help out). So I said that I am so caught up in my own this thing, but whatever some little pieces I know I let you know...that's why. But Jadav <i>gaya tha</i> Ratan Tata <i>ko milne ke liye han</i> (But Jadav went to meet Ratan Tata)...
34
00:07:44,078 --> 00:07:49,861
Surojeet: <i>Achha achha</i>.
Nira: He had gone to meet him on the request of Prafull Patel.
Surojeet: <i>Achha</i>.
35
00:07:49,861 --> 00:07:54,362
Nira: Prafull Patel himself should have gone and asked Ratan Tata.
Surojeet- Hmm, hmm.
36
00:07:54,362 --> 00:07:57,695
Nira: <i>Toh</i> Prime Minister <i>ko jake puchhna chahiye tha ki</i> (Should've asked the Prime Minister), why should Ratan Tata?
37
00:07:57,695 --> 00:08:01,138
Surojeet: Ramadurai <i>ka nam bhi liya ja sakta hai</i> (Ramadurai's name can be taken as well.)
38
00:08:01,138 --> 00:08:11,138
Nira: <i>Haan</i>, I don't know Ram will take it, you know I don't know. I mean, his independent capacity if he wants to take it that's up to them
Surojeet- Hmm.
39
00:08:11,138 --> 00:08:21,504
Nira: But I think the Tatas feel I mean, at the end of the day, these were the very people who tried to stop him coming into the airline sector, And had they come today this would not have been the case of Air India.
40
00:08:21,504 --> 00:08:30,669
Surojeet: Eventually they will get a Sam Pitroda, useless fellow..
Nira: <i>Kya hoga, kuchh nahin hoga</i> (Nothing will happen).
Surojeet: <i>Woh kuchh nahi karega wo faltu ka, bade bade</i> lecture <i>marega yahi sab hoga</i> (He won't do anything, he's useless, he'll just give some big lectures.)
41
00:08:30,669 --> 00:08:35,523
Nira: They need an operating guy, they need man like Sunil Arora back.
42
00:08:35,523 --> 00:08:49,967
Surojeet: They will get the CEO from some <i>fiang</i> (foreign) place and say we have got -
Nira: <i>Kya karega woh,</i> Air India union <i>ko</i> handle <i>karna</i> (What will he do, handling the Air India union) you know what is like <i>na</i>, No <i>firang</i> is going to be able to handle that.
Surojeet: He'll run away after one year.
43
00:08:49,967 --> 00:08:53,752
Nira- <i>Chalo</i> ok then, take care, bye...
Surojeet- Thanks.

Niira: Madhav, hi, sorry to disturb you, Madhav.
Madhav: Hi
2
00:00:18,045 --> 00:00:23,490
N: The government's view, I've had a long chat with Chandolia just now, I spent about half an hour on the phone with him.
3
00:00:23,490 --> 00:00:30,857
N: The thing is that, you see, the government's stand is that we're not really as of now looking at the Subhodh Kumar report.
M: <i>Haan</i> (Yes).
4
00:00:30,857 --> 00:00:39,358
N: We've uh, we're gonna send it to TRAI and that will take 6 months. In the mean time, whatever is our existing policy, our subscriber base will continue.
M: <i>Haan</i>...
5
00:00:39,358 --> 00:00:55,379
N: And therefore while she assures that we are in the queue, and therefore Anil Ambani cannot get his 1.8 till we are given our 4.4 because we are effectively in the queue no, for those circles, and the queue will have to be honoured. And therefore his 1.8 will come only after we get our 4.4...
6
00:00:55,379 --> 00:01:18,959
M: But he's currently, in TDSAT, he's asking 1.8 only for Mumbai for which he had made applications before some 7 months or so, and DoT has kept him pending including they had told him- that we are waiting for report and TDSAT judgment is awaited and all those things.
N: Hmm.
7
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:24,880
M: So he's pressing only for Mumbai where we have already received our spectrum.
8
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,716
N: And everybody else also has received spectrum in Mumbai, right?
9
00:01:28,716 --> 00:01:42,750
M: Yeah, Mumbai...Mumbai there is no pending applications- unless somebody like Airtel has crossed the subscriber team. Everybody - there is no pendency really in Mumbai.
N: So he will get Bombay.
10
00:01:42,750 --> 00:01:47,535
M: He will get, he will get Bombay. His application is only for this -
11
00:01:47,535 --> 00:02:16,283
N: The (inaudible) will set a precedent.
M: Yes, Bombay will, Bombay will take away the argument from DoT, that we are waiting for this, waiting for that. But I think last week then there was another spectrum matter where DoT said we have not yet decided whether to refer it to TRAI, because Arun Kumar said it will take 6 months time, so why are you asking adjournment only for one month?
N: Hmm.
12
00:02:16,283 --> 00:02:31,563
M: So they said no we are still debating whether to send a committee report to TRAI, the government has not taken a formal decision on it -
N: No, actually these people have taken a decision, only they have not sent it yet, because I believe secretary has been opposing that.
13
00:02:31,563 --> 00:02:40,683
M: <i>Haan, haan</i>, but yesterday I think they told AUSPI, the secretary told AUSPI that minister has signed on the file.
14
00:02:40,683 --> 00:02:58,845
N: I'm going to - Chandolia told me just now, it's going to TRAI -
M: <i>Haan, haan </i>, correct.
N: I've spoken to Chandolia -
M: - signed it day before yesterday or so, on Tuesday he signed the file on sending to TRAI, including perpetual license, uh, concept als.
N: Right.
15
00:02:58,845 --> 00:03:13,990
M: That also they are making a reference, as a part of this, that instead of ten years, twenty years, why not say once it is given, it is given. The spectrum or license, once it's given, unless cancelled, it stands.
16
00:03:15,608 --> 00:03:19,610
N: PMO might object to that.
M: <i>Haan</i>, right, correct.
17
00:03:19,610 --> 00:03:25,382
N: PMO might not allow that, actually, because they've a very different view from the minister on that one.
M: <i>Haan, haan</i>.
18
00:03:25,382 --> 00:03:48,841
N: But the thing is - the thing is that they say he will, unless we get our spectrum as far as Delhi is concerned, they're quite comfortable that nobody will give get spectrum unless we are first cleared. Now my only worry is that he will then go and get some other legal opinion which will say that you know, we've not launched services.
19
00:03:48,841 --> 00:04:03,728
N: That will obviously give us our argument that okay, then the ones that have not launched, including Swan, then give us their spectrum. It can help us, that argument. But my worry is that he may, you know, set a precedent doing this and then move on. And uh...
20
00:04:03,728 --> 00:04:20,915
M: But these, but Arun Kumar uh, Arun Kumar doesn't want to do anything because -
N: - He's retiring no?
M: He's retiring in September. So he, I mean, in one of the functions he say (sic) that okay I, you can print that I have already retired.
N: Hmm.
21
00:04:20,915 --> 00:04:57,223
M: He doesn't want to take any major hearings also before that. So he will see - I mean, try - because the problem is now he, this other person (inaudible), he can't write judgments, so it is Arun Kumar who will have to write the judgments, because earlier Dr. Sarma was doing that job for each and every matter, Dr. Sarma was writing the judgments. Now there is nobody to write the judgments also. So he's very, Arun Kumar is very reluctant to do anything, yeah.
22
00:04:57,223 --> 00:05:02,638
N: So what do you think is going to be the outcome today, then?
23
00:05:02,638 --> 00:05:07,243
M: No, today he would, I think the government may say okay we are still thinking, government may ask for time...
24
00:05:07,243 --> 00:05:12,146
N: No no, they are not asking for time -
M: Not asking?
25
00:05:12,146 --> 00:05:22,243
N: No their response is that given that the matter's going to go TRAI and it'll take 4-6 months, we will continue to maintain -
M: We will continue with out policy, yeah.
N: Yeah, we will continue to maintain our policy, yeah.
26
00:05:22,243 --> 00:05:26,744
M: That's what they would say today.
N: Yeah.
M: Okay.
27
00:05:26,744 --> 00:05:32,006
N: CoI is the one who's going to oppose this.
28
00:05:32,006 --> 00:05:42,010
M: Yeah, but the CoI uh...the present policy will continue, but the CoI, then CoI members will also keep on getting spectrum.
29
00:05:42,010 --> 00:05:49,010
N: Mmmm...I think -
(indiscernible, both speaking at the same time)
N: - want to block at 4.4.
30
00:05:49,010 --> 00:05:55,777
N: CoI's saying we want to block at 4.4
M: Block at 4.4? Okay.
31
00:05:55,777 --> 00:05:59,784
N: Yeah, that's their view.
32
00:05:59,784 --> 00:06:04,049
M: Okay. Otherwise, and beyond go that go for (inaudible)
33
00:06:04,049 --> 00:06:14,575
N: Correct.
M: But this is already decided matter so Arun Kumar would say that okay, our judgment is very clear, we don't want to do any interpretation on that.
34
00:06:14,575 --> 00:06:29,100
N: Hmm, hmm.
M: That would be the easiest way for him to take a stand...that what is, what is ambiguous in the...what is ambiguous in the judgment, you tell us that.
N: Hmm, hmm, hmm.
35
00:06:29,100 --> 00:06:47,136
M: Because there is no ambiguity in the judgment, because Reliance was given this excuse from DoT, they want to bring a sort of a certificate from TDSAT that they have no objections, which Arun Kumar will not fall prey for that, ya!
36
00:06:47,136 --> 00:07:09,886
N: Yeah, I hope not, I hope not. I don't know, you know, Madhav, (inaudible). Now this Supreme Court matter, we'll take a call, I mean once Anil and I have met minister, we will need to take a call how we approach it, because they've got an answer to both our scenarios, huh.
37
00:07:09,886 --> 00:07:51,970
M: Yeah, exact, and another problem is, this is that January 2008 situation,...we had a lot of opportunities and we're trying to challenge it after 18 months..and meanwhile the third party interests have been created, the spectrum has been given the priority, they had filed that priority list also where we were the last, you know? We've not challenged that also. So the government would say that what stopped you from challenging that time? you could have done that, uh...by filing even a separate petition, How can you come up to us after 18 months or 20 months?
38
00:07:51,970 --> 00:08:08,743
N: Why, because, because we are seeing that we have not been given spectrum, we're seeing other operators, who are not launching their services who have been given licenses and spectrum, and we feel that this is unfair, we were under the impression at that time that we would be given spectrum.
39
00:08:08,743 --> 00:08:11,243
M: Yeah.
(inaudible, both speaking at the same time.)
40
00:08:11,243 --> 00:08:33,297
M: But then we will have to go to the, go to this TDSAT with a fresh petition, what the first draft is already prepared, and the... because Supreme Court would say that okay this was not the point before TDSAT, so you can't bring before us any new facts or new I mean, arguments.
41
00:08:33,297 --> 00:08:35,025
N: Mm, mmm.
42
00:08:35,025 --> 00:08:40,933
M: That's what they will tell us. That this was a challenge only to the dual technology.
43
00:08:40,933 --> 00:08:42,308
N: Correct.
44
00:08:42,308 --> 00:09:05,085
M: And so you can't bring any other allocation points into that. So our remedy is to go to TDSAT, file a fresh petition and say that we were number 2 and we should have been given. And the priority list is...it doesn't have any scientific basis for the priority and all those things.
45
00:09:05,085 --> 00:09:09,681
N: Yeah but minister's told me that he's going to vehemently oppose that.
46
00:09:09,681 --> 00:09:14,099
M: Yeah because the others -
(inaudible, both speaking at the same time.)
47
00:09:14,099 --> 00:09:16,862
N: Swan is his personal interest, yeah?
M: Yeah, his personal interest, yeah.
48
00:09:16,862 --> 00:09:38,880
N: Yeah, he has told me that. So we have to be very, you know what, that's why I don't want to do it in a hurry. We've got...I think we've got time. I think we should wait till we meet him, and I know what he is going to say, that you know, um, this is something that I'm not going to allow, you'll get spectrum, don't worry. So I'm trying to see how there's another strategy that we can work around -
M: Yeah...
49
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:50,665
N: - And um, see what to do. By the way, his AT&T - they'd applied to AT&T for uh, they were going to do a (inaudible) with them, AT&T was buying in, that's got blocked, huh.
M: That's got blocked, okay.
50
00:09:50,665 --> 00:09:57,391
N: Blocked because Mukesh has put an objection on the ROFR.
51
00:09:57,391 --> 00:10:05,433
M: Yes, correct, and they won't - Companies like AT&T won't take the risk of investment when there is a ROFR, yeah.
52
00:10:05,433 --> 00:10:30,472
N: They approached me to talk to Mukesh...to see that he should not come in the way. Then they approached through the embassy, they then approached through the US Embassy. They talked to several people in industry saying that please talk to Mukesh and tell him that he should not come in the way and all that and Anil will remain with 26%...I mean, our view is why should they give him millions and make a monster out of him, he'll go and bribe more people.
53
00:10:30,472 --> 00:10:37,770
M: Yeah. Correct, because this I think, probably their (inaudible) is expiring in 2010, I think.
54
00:10:37,770 --> 00:10:39,900
N: Yeah.
55
00:10:39,900 --> 00:10:48,034
M: 2010, yeah. So by that time, probably they may also - Mukesh also may launch something in Telecom.
N: No, he's not coming into Telecom -
56
00:10:48,034 --> 00:10:53,301
M: Okay.
N: No no no no no.
(inaudible, both speaking at the same time.)
57
00:10:53,301 --> 00:10:58,808
N: <i>Haan</i>, he's not going to allow him to. No, those are all to do with his (indiscernible), no?
M: <i>Haan</i>.
58
00:10:58,808 --> 00:11:04,307
N: Ah, he's not interested in Telecom.
M: No, he is doing something with Kishore Biyani.
N: Hmm.
59
00:11:04,307 --> 00:11:26,577
M: Uh, where...I mean in that company Futuregroup has invested, and somebody from Reliance - Prakash Bajpai, he's the frontman, he was with Anil - Reliance Infocom, he was I mean, before some 5-6 months he was sacked from that company (sic).
N: Hmm.
60
00:11:26,577 --> 00:11:32,327
M: Because he has already started - he had already started that unit.
N: Hmm, hmm.
M: It is Mumbai's best unit.
N: Yeah.
61
00:11:32,327 --> 00:11:37,110
N: But that's - I thought that's more for (captex?)
62
00:11:37,110 --> 00:11:52,335
M: Uh huh, where Kishore Biyani has invested some 65%.
N: Okay okay, I'm not...I'll double check that, yeah.
M: Yeah, those are...ex Tata, ex Reliance Infocom people.
63
00:11:52,335 --> 00:12:14,152
N: Right, right right.
M: ex TTML, means before Tatas took over. Prakash that time was CEO of Hughes Telecom.
N: Hughes, yeah, yeah.
M: Yeah, and then he went to Reliance Infocom, and then he started I think, this, uh, there is some foreign fund has invested 100 billion dollars there.
64
00:12:14,152 --> 00:12:23,208
N: Right, right. But I think that they are not...at least I know for sure from Mukesh that he's not interested in coming back into Telecom -
65
00:12:23,208 --> 00:12:37,996
M: (inaudible)
N: Not at all. He's just going to make sure that he - that this guy doesn't get his ROFR.
M: Yes.
N: Yeah, yeah. That's basically where he's coming from, so... Let's see. So I just thought that I'd let you know that this is what -
M: Okay sure.
66
00:12:37,996 --> 00:12:48,513
N: So we still have to make sure that they don't uh, then, through Mumbai then slip into Delhi also, you know. That's my biggest worry, you know.
M: Because in Delhi there is no (inaudible).
67
00:12:48,513 --> 00:12:54,620
N: Yeah, he'll use the subscriber argument, he'll go into Vanavati, get Vanavati to give some silly opinion and then again we'll be stuck.
68
00:12:54,620 --> 00:13:03,314
M: Yes, and Vanavati he wants to remain active...because AD(?) doesn't come for arguments, really.
69
00:13:03,314 --> 00:13:08,814
N: Hmm hmm hmm, but he was there! (inaudible).
M: He was there. He vehemently, vehemently opposed the thing.
70
00:13:08,814 --> 00:13:11,797
N: Hmm.
71
00:13:11,797 --> 00:13:17,096
M: Like any other, as if he was a Solicitor-General, he argues.
72
00:13:17,096 --> 00:13:30,859
N: Hmm, hmm, but isn't that strange?
M: Yes, it is, it is strange and...so probably the judges may say okay, the government is attaching so much importance to this matter -
N: Yeah...yeah.
73
00:13:30,859 --> 00:13:35,661
N: I think Vanavati will get exposed if he does that too much.
M: Let's see, if he does it too much.

00:00:35,084 --> 00:01:25,580
P: One, to write to RIL, specifically to the secretary of power. The other is to write to the secretary of power. Um, the first one is, we considered it...because you know, our gas supply arrangement is with RIL. And, we can tell them that listen, we have come into an arrangement and from the various reports that we are seeing, we are anxious that this commitment will not be met, and for a variety of reasons we would like that this agreement be ensured that we get gas.
N: Hmm.
5
00:01:25,580 --> 00:01:29,600
P: Hmm, that is one way of writing this letter.
6
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:34,597
N: Hmm, but they'll say that we are only subject to the government allocating the power to you.
7
00:01:34,597 --> 00:01:36,597
P: Correct correct correct.
N: Yeah.
8
00:01:36,597 --> 00:01:52,852
P: So I should add that also, that you know, our agreement is based on - subject to the government -
N: Hmm.
P: - allocating gas to us, yeah?
N: Hmm, but won't that be just easier for you to just write to the government and say that, that you know, we are writing to - add a copy to RIL in reverse.
9
00:01:52,852 --> 00:02:08,626
P: Mmhmm, mmhmm.
N: And if you do it in reverse, you are writing a letter to the Power ministry, saying please allocate us gas and marking a copy to RIL saying that we've sent this letter to the government, because we are concerned about this. In that way. So then you are doing both.
10
00:02:08,626 --> 00:02:11,995
P: So you prefer that would be better is it?
11
00:02:11,995 --> 00:02:29,937
N: That would be better, yeah, because at the end of the day RIL will write back and say you know, what, we are writing uh...we are subject to the government's whims and fancies in any case. So why don't you address it to the government. So I think it's easier for you and faster for you to write to the government and mark RIL a copy.
12
00:02:29,937 --> 00:02:33,188
P: Yes, okay.
N: That may be better, no?
13
00:02:33,188 --> 00:02:43,938
P: Yes. No no, we were just thinking which would be.... See, the government can actually help us in this whole scheme if we do it this way, like what you're just explaining.
N: Yeah.
14
00:02:43,938 --> 00:02:56,688
N: They would and then they would - I think (inaudible) everybody's very conscious of this right now, and I think Tata's writing to the government right now would be very critical. Saying that you know, we need this now.
P: Hmm.
15
00:02:56,688 --> 00:03:09,256
P: And we also felt that we should not refer to the High Court judgment but we should refer to the you know, we are reading reports on this. I think that will be better.
16
00:03:09,256 --> 00:03:11,438
N: Correct.
17
00:03:11,438 --> 00:03:30,263
P: And we will stick to the discussion on the quantum. Yeah?
N: Absolutely, and also you should say that - I think you should bring the consumer angle in as well, Paddy. That's very very critical. Mention that "given that it's a pass through", you know?
P: Hmm.
N: It will benefit the consumer.
18
00:03:30,263 --> 00:03:39,184
P: Okay.
N: And Bombay is reeling on the lack of power and all that (sic) and all that.
P: Yes from morning to evening I've talked to the consumer groups only on that topic now.
19
00:03:39,184 --> 00:03:44,536
N: (Laughs) You have my sympathies.
20
00:03:44,536 --> 00:04:04,843
P: Yesterday I met one person who was so suave, but then she said I represent Raj Thackeray, (laughs), and she wanted to know how the power situation is. I think everybody is building their own case.
N: Mmhmm. Mmhmm. (mumbles)
21
00:04:04,843 --> 00:04:11,373
P: Okay, let me draft something and send it to you.
N: Super, great.
P: One or two paras will talk about emission, this and that. Then -

15
00:02:18,641 --> 00:02:56,296
N: What was TK's reaction of the meeting?
V: TK's uh...you know, TK of course was uh, he was happy to get a full background of the whole thing and he uh...generally he...I mean he's uh, what should I say, he's ideologically convinced that there is uh... there's this lots of stuff in the elder brother and the younger brother is (inaudible), you know.
16
00:02:56,296 --> 00:03:00,070

17
00:03:00,070 --> 00:03:12,052
V: Yeah...you know that's uh, you know these are very...what Manoj Modi was saying, it's a very convincing argument that after they split how much he has invested and how much has he been able to invest.
N: Absolutely, yeah yeah.
18
00:03:12,052 --> 00:03:19,019

N: No but they, Venu, they have given up a lot of that, you know, I've seen it myself. Last 10 months, I myself have seen how much they're doing, you know?
22
00:03:50,594 --> 00:04:05,377
V: Yeah.
(Inaudible, both speaking at the same time.)
V: - Terrible decisions they took. One they got that some Ranbaxy fellow as their communication head, you know. Paresh Chowdhary. He was a disaster.
23
00:04:05,377 --> 00:04:10,878

00:04:59,159 --> 00:05:10,661
N: Sudeep Gurumurthy, Javed and all have also been saying all sorts of nonsense. Sudeep Gurumurthy has been looking for me, he wants to meet me. And he I mean, I don't know why, but I'll meet him, in the coming weeks -
30
00:05:10,661 --> 00:05:14,023
V: Huh? Yeah, yeah.
31
00:05:14,023 --> 00:05:20,933
V: But what is this Gurumurthy's thing? I mean, I...
N: No no, he is completely (inaudible).
32
00:05:20,933 --> 00:05:26,184
V: So I've never tracked these TV journalists, 'cause frankly I have no respect for TV journalsits.
33
00:05:26,184 --> 00:05:31,434
N: I've seen him on CNBC and I know how he has been, so -
V: Yeah yeah yeah yeah.
N: Completely on this (inaudible).
34
00:05:31,434 --> 00:05:34,433
V: Yeah, yeah yeah.
N: (mutters)
35
00:05:34,433 --> 00:05:58,487
V: Actually the...Niira between you and me, Javed and all ...he...these people look for you know, uh ...people look at Rahul, they look at which way Rahul's bias works. And between you and me, so far, to me also Rahul has shown a very clear bias, you know?
N: Yeah, I know that, yeah.
36
00:05:58,487 --> 00:06:08,226
V: For that uh...one day I told Rahul, I said your friend Amitabh, he said no no, he's not a friend, he became very defensive.
N: Yeah yeah.
V: So actually they are very close you know.
N: Yeah, yeah.
37
00:06:08,226 --> 00:06:20,007
V: And uh, so I also in between I put him on the defensive saying I believe Amitabh (chuckles, inaudible) good friend of yours.
N: Yeah yeah.
V: Just as he tries to put me on the defensive.
N: (Inaudible).
38
00:06:20,007 --> 00:06:36,673
V: You know, he also Niira, from time to time, <i>haan haan, tumhara toh wahan bada dost hai wahan pe</i> (oh you have a high-up friend there), You are seen as you know, uh...sympathetic to MDA. So then I also gave, throw one at him, you know. (chuckles)
N: Correct, correct, correct.
V: So you know. Uh....
39
00:06:36,673 --> 00:06:41,013
N: Yeah, maybe Rahul should stick to television and handover print to you guys.
40
00:06:41,013 --> 00:06:45,266
V: Huh?
N: I said they should change, if they had any sense.
41
00:06:45,266 --> 00:06:58,524
V: No no but he, between you and me, Rahul is quite fed up of TV, he wants to come back to print. I mean, he...he's dying because of handover television to (inaudible)
N: Hmm, hmm.
42
00:06:58,524 --> 00:07:10,558
V: Because he's had a harrowing time, you know. Because it's not his medium. He doesn't understand TV, <i>na</i>, so, and he's been spending 14 hours a day there, you know, all kinds of things.
43
00:07:10,558 --> 00:07:22,757
N: When are you coming to Bombay?
V: I'll come to Bombay sometime, you know, maybe 10-15 days from now I'll come.
N: Let me know, 'coz MDA will be there then now you need to meet, Manoj was saying today after you guys left, so...
V: Yeah.
44
00:07:22,757 --> 00:07:33,558
N: We need to organise that meeting between you and Mukesh and all that.
V: How was he?
N: He was very pleased, he was very pleased to meet you. He said you guys, intellectually at least you really had a very good discussion.
45
00:07:33,558 --> 00:07:50,571
V: Yeah, I see, when I told him no, when I told him that this...freedom to market which the Parliament reply says it's...actually subject to the larger policy. So he said you hit the nail on the head, that is the main issue, you know?
N: Correct, absolutely.
46
00:07:50,571 --> 00:08:34,596
V: Yeah, today, by the way I just wanted to tell you,...today Rohini Singh took Andy Mukherjee to uh...Digvijay Singh. So because I, because Digvijay is quite tally with ET, I'd invited him for lunch to our office about three four weeks ago, before the election, about 5 weeks ago. And then I told Rohini you go and meet him, I mean, she's trying to build some contact <i>yaar</i>, So, so they were...so Andy and Rohini were talking about the Gas issue so they told Rohini and Andy, he says I've ready Venu's piece, he's summed it up, you know. He's the most succinct person (chuckles) the most effective sum up of the issue.
47
00:08:34,596 --> 00:08:46,919
V: And he talked about the Taj Mahal the line, you know. How can Taj Mahal be divided, you know? Appropriated by you know, some third parties, you know?
48
00:08:46,919 --> 00:08:48,952
N: Hmm, hmm.
49
00:08:48,952 --> 00:09:04,354
V: So my sense is, so she came up with the feeling, and even Andy, that Congress party is solidly uh...you know, uh, behind uh -
N: - Mukesh.
V: Is solidly against -
N: - ADA.
V: Ya.
50
00:09:04,354 --> 00:09:07,604
V: Basically, out of self-interest also, no?
N: Correct, correct, correct.
51
00:09:07,604 --> 00:09:09,758
V: So these are -
52
00:09:09,758 --> 00:09:17,643
N: - I think, I think she's, I think basically the leadership on the top is very clear on this national asset issue...Iron ore and all that, I can see that, yeah.
53
00:09:17,643 --> 00:09:41,646
V: Yeah, that's why I brought in all those things, <i>na</i>, spectrum, this, that. And you know, I'm telling you they...you must meet MKN on this. MKN is also working on some sort of uh, resource, how to sort of look at national policy on resources and all. I think somebody should straight away meet PM on this, you know, Ratan Tata and all these people -
54
00:09:41,646 --> 00:09:44,421
N: I think Ratan would probably do that.
55
00:09:44,421 --> 00:09:56,928
V: And you know, he should know, he should now kick off a larger debate on how should we look at resources, you know. How should we avoid these kind of stupdi ridiculous litigations, you know.
56
00:09:56,928 --> 00:10:01,178
N: Hmm, maybe Ratan will do that, absolutely.
57
00:10:01,178 --> 00:10:06,952
V: That's what needs to be done, you know.
N: But thanks today for coming, I appreciate it so much.
58
00:10:06,952 --> 00:10:08,249
V: Yeah yeah, thanks.
59
00:10:08,249 --> 00:10:15,215
N: I'll try and see what Manoj says about Soma and then and whether he wants to and then we'll see whether I need to call them tomorrow and take it from there.
60
00:10:15,215 --> 00:10:20,465
V: Yeah.
N: Yeah, but we'll meet when -
V: Yeah we'll meet.
N: Thanks so much.
61
00:10:20,465 --> 00:10:22,605
V: Your in Delhi for a couple of days, <i>na</i>?
N: Till Friday.

Niira: I just wanted one clarification from you on Jamshedpur, Barbosa <i> ko </i> Jamshedpur <i> leke chalen kya </i> (Should we take Barbosa to Jamshedpur)? What do you think?
Unknown: No, I think uh, the only thing is that neither Mr. (inaudible) nor me will be there, but organising a visit to Jamshedpur is not a problem at all.
6
00:00:48,864 --> 00:00:53,984
Niira: Okay.
Unknown: We're getting it completely free -
Niira: But tell him because he's been sending me messages so I need to revert back to him.

Niira: Yes it is, yes.
Unknown: Because I have shifted my programme, I wanted to go to Europe and I was requesting Mr. Baijal(?) also to shift his programme by a day.
12
00:01:38,015 --> 00:01:43,390
Niira: No no, they are coming, very much, they are arriving on Sunday night -
Unknown: Because I would prefer that Mr. (inaudible) is also here -
13
00:01:43,390 --> 00:02:01,312
Niira: Yeah he said yesterday when he was there with us to Muthuraman that he'll stay back, Mr. Muthuraman asked him to stay another day, and we will come to your office at about 11:30-12:00, first just between (inaudible), myself, and then we can sort out our nitty-gritties, which (inaudible) wants to sort out, because he's really on my case on his advisory thing, and then -
14

Niira: - Mr. Muthuraman said we'll have lunch with Barbosa, and then after that we can sit with Barbosa and have a discussion in case there's something pending, and then Mr. Tata said he's hosting the dinner in the evening.
Unknown: Fantastic, so then (inaudible) I'll have to reconfirm with Mr. Baijal because he was asking me, I'll reconfirm that he should defer his programme also by a day.
15

So you wanted to get a couple of people, I really wouldn't have a too much of a...this. But since it's the first time, I'd like it to be limited to a couple of guys. And then subsequently if it goes off then we can always do the bureau -
35
00:04:40,544 --> 00:04:45,152
Niira: Mmhmm. So Ram...Ram has agreed to meet Mukesh in Bombay next week, <i>haan</i>?

Niira: Hmm.
Tarun: Anything else you want me to deal with him?
5

Niira: Nothing he should come out on his (chuckles) - I know you're gonna tell me that I'm on this natural resources issue -
Tarun: Hmm.
Niira: - but Petrol definitely is one of them.
6
00:00:34,016 --> 00:00:47,072
Tarun: Yeah.
Niira: So I think he should come out. He should come out and talk about how natural resources have a value.
Tarun: He still continues to be on a different wavelength? On Spectrum?
7
00:00:47,072 --> 00:00:54,240
Niira: Uh, no no, I think he's on the same wavelength, I think he hasn't articulated it well.
Tarun: Okay.
8
00:00:54,240 --> 00:01:13,952
Niira: I think he needs to articulate this very well. Because you know, it's time to you know...I think it's time to take the fight...I guess we all have to get rid of all the. I'm sorry, I know you're - you know, Ratan will agree with me, so I'm not saying it only for myself.
9
00:01:13,952 --> 00:01:19,071
Tarun: Yeah.
Niira: But seriously, the industry's all gone on one side now, and Anil Ambani is on the other side.
10
00:01:19,071 --> 00:01:27,263
Tarun: Okay.
Niira: Yeah. And I think it's time to do that and finish this off once and for all, you know?
11
00:01:27,263 --> 00:01:35,456
Tarun: And uh, where is Raja in all this?
Niira: Raja will come under flak, there's no doubt about it. He'll come under -
12
00:01:35,456 --> 00:01:49,791
Tarun: He's with Anil?
Niira: He's still with - I mean, he's with Anil because he's tried to...I mean, yesterday I told him go to TDSAT, get a judgment clarification done, then I'll give you extra spectrum. Thank God that we were all there in court, including Sunil's people, everybody.
13
00:01:49,791 --> 00:01:53,632
Tarun: Hmm.
Niira: That we managed to oppose it.
Tarun: Right.
14
00:01:53,632 --> 00:01:55,936
Niira: And therefore his petition got dismissed.
Tarun: Okay.
15
00:01:55,936 --> 00:02:10,782
Niira: So Raja is not doing anything, but he certainly is still guiding Anil.
Tarun: Mmm.
Niira: And Anil's trying to use him to go to Azhagiri and get the Fertilizer sector to be compromised on this Gas issue. And it's the Fertilizer sector that needs it the most.
16
00:02:10,782 --> 00:02:30,751
Tarun: Hmm, hmm, sure.
Niira: So there is this still...I told Raja, I spoke to him. I said you're making a very very big blunder, you know. Because this time - well Ratan's written a nice letter about it, he may say okay, you gave him a dual technology license so he wrote a nice letter which he shouldn't have done -
17
00:02:30,751 --> 00:02:36,895
Tarun: Hmm.
Niira: But he'll come out and he'll come out very strongly against you.
Tarun: Hmm.
18
00:02:36,895 --> 00:02:50,975
Niira: So he said, no no no. I said I'll tell Kanimozhi that that's what you're doing.
Tarun: Hmm.
Niira: So he said I'm not helping Anil, why do you think I'm helping him and...so he's still trying to find a way how he can call Sunil a problem...
19
00:02:50,975 --> 00:02:59,935
Tarun: Right.
Niira: And I've told Sunil that we have to be smart about this, how we handle it. That doesn't mean we have to pay Raja even one cent.
Tarun: Right.
20
00:02:59,935 --> 00:03:10,687
Niira: But we have to work together on this issue. With...and (inaudible) but Ratan doesn't want to work with me, so how - I said you'll have to make amends.
Tarun: Hmm.
21
00:03:10,687 --> 00:03:18,111
Niira: And that statement I know has hurt Ratan a lot.
Tarun: Hmm.
Niira: So it'd be a starting point.
22
00:03:18,111 --> 00:03:28,351
Niira: So I think if he comes out openly and says how this is, that'd be useful. When's your meeting, now, is it?
Tarun: Eleven.
Niira: Okay. Have a nice meeting, and tomorrow you've got Satyam board is it?
23
00:03:28,351 --> 00:03:44,223
Tarun: I've got, yeah, but I was wondering that if you had time, I - what time would you want to do this, I can reach the Satyam board meeting - it's a formality now, we're exiting the board, I don't want to be there for one day beyond once Mahindras have taken over so PM has agreed to that. So...

Tarun: Tomorrow is a kind of good-bye. Good-bye meeting. So I can reach late or I can go early and leave, whatever. So I was just thinking whether...how are you placed?
25
00:03:57,023 --> 00:04:00,095
Niira: We could do it...
Tarun: You don't need to go, actually, you don't need to go.
26
00:04:00,095 --> 00:04:08,287
Niira: No, I thought I'd sort of come with you...but in the morning -
Tarun: I'm happy to spend time with you, because that's always quality time.
27
00:04:08,287 --> 00:04:24,664
Niira: (laughs) Well, I thought I'd come - I told Vishal so I - but I think the agent was like sort of eleven o' clock onwards, none of these guys that they've appointed...
Tarun: That's fine, that's fine, whatever. You let me know and I'll get out of this Satyam meeting, hmm?
28
00:04:24,664 --> 00:04:26,285

Niira Radia: Hi
N.K. Singh: Hi Niira
Niira Radia: I just wanted to tell you that I still think HT is a little compromised.
3
00:00:20,959 --> 00:00:29,152
Niira Radia: We met up with both the editors Sanjoy Narayan [of HT] and Subu Kumar. Subu Kumar is okay of Mint.
4
00:00:29,152 --> 00:00:33,992
Niira Radia: But Sanjoy Narayan yesterday... Manoj was in town. If you know Manoj Modi was here.
5
00:00:33,992 --> 00:00:40,928
Niira Radia And the sense I got from the conversations - and that I see the type of stories they are still carrying...
6
00:00:40,928 --> 00:00:45,792
Niira Radia: You know they are still carrying that "Govt is not a respondent" in this matter when the Govt is clearly a respondent.
7
00:00:45,792 --> 00:00:57,312
Niira Radia: Because the other side has circulated, a part of our SLP by crossing out the "govt is a respondent" part by inking it with white ink...
8
00:00:57,312 --> 00:00:58,336
N.K. Singh: Ah, oh
9
00:00:58,336 --> 00:01:01,952
Niira Radia: ... and showing it only as an "intervener". 
N.K. Singh: Uh, hun
10
00:01:01,952 --> 00:01:06,272
Niira Radia: ... And of course the only paper that believes it is Hindustan Times at the end of the day
11
00:01:06,272 --> 00:01:18,304
N.K. Singh: I saw that piece. And of course it's likely mixed up with the fact of Anil yesterday having met all these guys.
12
00:01:18,304 --> 00:01:25,984
N.K. Singh: So I think it's not very clear. I mean that story has been (masked ?) as if to say that this is
13
00:01:25,984 --> 00:01:31,616
N.K.Singh: a) A fact on the court thing and b) Mixed up with Anil's meeting with these guys.
Niira Radia: Correct.
14
00:01:31,616 --> 00:01:40,319
Niira Radia: But the thing that... what they tried to do was to tell everyone. And they called everyone that govt is not an intervener, sorry, not a respondent and...
15
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:52,352
N.K. Singh: Correct No what I mean is whether govt is an intervener or not, I mean the only person who is to decide this is...
16
00:01:52,352 --> 00:01:55,167
N.K.Singh: a) The govt and b) The court. 
Niira Radia: Correct
17
00:01:55,167 --> 00:02:08,990
N.K. Singh: And if the court decides that I'm not entertaining you as an intervener.... that's the end of the story but it the court sort of pleads the govt as an intervener, so be it.
18
00:02:08,990 --> 00:02:14,879
N.K.Singh: These are not matters: a) whether govt wants to be an interferer or not is it the govt's choice.
19
00:02:14,879 --> 00:02:24,351
N.K.Singh: Second, whether it is entertained or not is the courts decision. Right?
Niira Radia: Yeah but point I am making is that everybody else took no notice of it, but except only Hindustan Times.
20
00:02:26,143 --> 00:02:32,543
N.K. Singh: Achaa I'm meeting Shobhna in an hour's time and I'm going to speak to her about this
21
00:02:32,543 --> 00:02:44,319
Niira Radia: Yeah, we were on this discussion yesterday with Manoj Modi, we met up Sanjoy and we took them through everything. We are hoping that they have understood everything but I thought the body language was a bit...
22
00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:55,071
Niira Radia:... you know still... you can see that they are a bit... and when we asked what do you think we should have done? Manoj said that to them, and their reaction was that the two brothers should merge again.
23
00:02:55,071 --> 00:02:57,888
N.K. Singh: Their two brothers...?
Niira Radia: Should merge (Laughs)
24
00:02:58,911 --> 00:03:00,959
N.K. Singh: Oh not bad yaar...
25
00:03:00,959 --> 00:03:08,383
N.K.Singh: Real good actually. Very good philanthropic advice
26
00:03:08,383 --> 00:03:14,527
N.K. Singh: No right now I'm in another fire fighting. Because I was likely shut my mind from this.
27
00:03:14,527 --> 00:03:24,767
N.K.Singh: Because I'm in the immediate issue of what is going to happen to Pranab Mukherjee's announcement on the tax benefit to them on the gas.
28
00:03:24,767 --> 00:03:36,799
N.K.Singh: Given that he has withdrawn it, in a way, because he has made it applicable only for only for NLEP VIII. Right.
29
00:03:36,799 --> 00:03:40,527
N.K.Singh: So, this is revenue secretary doing some degree of championship there.
30
00:03:40,527 --> 00:03:42,575
Niira Radia: Right
31
00:03:42,575 --> 00:03:57,023
N.K. Singh: So working out a strategy. How to get this back? One of the complications is that, between you and me, Mr Arun Shourie has gone and got himself completely on the other side.
Niira Radia: Yes
32
00:03:57,023 --> 00:04:21,343
N.K. Singh: Because he has been promised a Rajya Sabha by Tony and co. and I yesterday checked, yes, Samajwadi has 50% surplus votes in UP which combined with surplus votes of BJP can give the BJP an extra ticket and why should therefore BJP deny itself from getting an additional Rajya Sabha on someone else's strength?
33
00:04:21,343 --> 00:04:38,496
N.K.Singh: But that's the promise given and therefore he was very, very, very critical of this whole gas thing and said in the BJP parliamentary board meeting, day before yesterday. Now whatever he said in that meeting, day before yesterday, is one aspect.
34
00:04:38,496 --> 00:04:51,295
N.K.Singh: But what attitude BJP will take on this whole issue of the debate on the finance bill, which is beginning from Monday, in both house of Parliament is of vital importance.
35
00:04:51,295 --> 00:05:05,119
N.K.Singh: Because if large number of opposition MPs and Samajwadi will definitely join in begin to say that Pranab Mukerjee has given a bad largesse... it will benefit only one company
36
00:05:05,119 --> 00:05:37,888
N.K.Singh: ...then a) Pranab Mukherjee is in the defensive and therefore the question of extending it to... huh... retrospectively goes out of the window. So this whole managing that stuff in a way and also I think, you know, Arun is speaking, Shourie is speaking as a listed speaker in the Rajya Sabha for the BJP but fortunately what we have managed to do is make him the second speaker but made Venkaiah the first. So I don't know what is Mukesh's relations with Venkaiah.
37
00:05:40,703 --> 00:05:42,496
Niira Radia: (inaudible) had good relations with him.
N.K. Singh: Pardon?
38
00:05:42,496 --> 00:05:46,847
Niira Radia: I thought PMS Prasad had good relationship with Venkaiah.
N.K. Singh: He has?
39
00:05:46,847 --> 00:06:02,208
Niira Radia: I thought so
N.K. Singh: Then I'm going to get him flown today to talk to Venkaiah because if he is the first speaker then he already takes a party line then it'll be very difficult for Shourie in his second intervention to take a different line
40
00:06:02,208 --> 00:06:03,488
Niira Radia: Hmm...
41
00:06:03,488 --> 00:06:20,127
N.K. Singh: Then we have to orchestrate who will speak. This is an immediate problem right now. Because frankly if this tax thing doesn't go through then that's a major initiative that fails to materialize
42
00:06:20,127 --> 00:06:34,207
N.K.Singh: ...because he has, Anil has also organized this: a) He tried to controversialise it b) He got the department to make it prospective and not retrospective.
43
00:06:34,207 --> 00:06:45,216
N.K. Singh: Whereas, really, all the roadshows that were done on the national exploration policy was on the explicit condition and understanding of this seven years tax break.
44
00:06:45,216 --> 00:06:58,015
N.K.Singh: So over looking all the understanding and ignoring everything and spreading disinformation that seems to have gathered momentum in the last 64 hours. That's their hottest issue right now.
45
00:06:58,015 --> 00:07:04,415
N.K.Singh: Where we attack this and I take note of what you tell me about HT. Huh?
Niira Radia: No, no problem...
46
00:07:04,415 --> 00:07:22,591
Niira Rasia: I knew that was an issue 'cause all these queries were coming in. It was pretty bad in terms of... They kept on saying that were going to earn 81,000 crores of benefit out of that you know and that he could have given it to us retrospectively and all that. That's the sort of queries that they've put out in the media.
47
00:07:22,591 --> 00:07:29,247
N.K. Singh: Yeah that's right.
Niira Radia: We killed most of that. None of that has appeared. So just checking whether...
48
00:07:29,247 --> 00:07:45,631
N.K. Singh: No, I don't want this to come up in features in Parliament. Because that's the most immediate thing that influences government mind. Because those guys, Like PM and FM are sitting there and several MPs beginning to talk all this.
49
00:07:45,631 --> 00:08:00,223
N.K.Singh: That influences them in a very immediate sense of the term. Not everybody agrees what's written in so many papers and journals. Whatever is spoken there is directly heard by these guys.
50
00:08:00,223 --> 00:08:04,575
Niira Radia: Correct. Correct. And the FM's view you on this?
51
00:08:04,575 --> 00:08:26,591
N.K. Singh: I think having done what he did, he is now unable to undo the damage which has been given the interpretation. So the request made by the petroleum ministry for them to reconsider has been routinely turned down by the revenue secretary.
52
00:08:26,591 --> 00:08:28,384
N.K.Singh: You see?
53
00:08:28,384 --> 00:08:48,351
N.K.Singh: So in effect, if that happens, and the revenue secretary (inaudible) we will benefit out of this. Because then it becomes completely from the eighth round. And that means not here or there Where as all roadshows that were done, this was one of the conditions on which the investment came in. 
Niira Radia: Correct
54
00:08:48,351 --> 00:09:03,711
N.K.Singh: Somebody will have to point out that this was an assurance given in promoting the investment basket and this opportunity you cannot retrospectively curtail an opportunity.
55
00:09:03,711 --> 00:09:09,000
N.K.Singh: Instead of giving a largesse, this is only sticking to a commitment given earlier. This is the point of view which has to...

00:01:00,384 --> 00:01:28,543

00:01:28,543 --> 00:01:56,704
Tarun: He, he really wants to meet Ratan once, I think, and clear the air with him. He wants to do it face-to-face, talk to him. I talked to him about this Vir Sanghvi, you know, doing this interview. He said, "Yeah, I don't like it, because it's called (inaudible)" and I saw Vijay Mallya, one night ago - two nights ago, and he said he didn't like the programme but he had agreed to do it so he doesn't want to back out -

Tarun: He said that uh, Mukesh is uh...not giving clearance for sale to AT&T.
Niira: No, that's right, we're not doing that. Yeah. He's - they've already written to - AT&T is written back, they wrote to AT&T's lawyers, saying that you cannot go ahead with this without taking our approval -
12
00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:54,815

19
00:04:12,127 --> 00:04:27,231
Niira: Hmm. I mean, basically you and I have common ground ground to bring them together, so that's uh...
Tarun: I think it'll be helpful to (inaudible). Actually, if three of them are together, I think on issues it'll be very helpful to the PM also, you know?
Niira: Yeah, yeah.
20
00:04:27,231 --> 00:04:34,143
Tarun: So...
Niira: You have to convince Ratan though, yeah. You must send Ratan that letter, <i>haan</i>, that Air India thing.
Tarun: Done!
21
00:04:34,143 --> 00:04:42,591
Tarun: Done, I did it yesterday, on his personal email id.
Niira: Oh, okay. Because uh, he's -
(inaudible)
22
00:04:42,591 --> 00:04:53,855
Niira: No no, not yet, he sent me a mail today from - uh, before he took off.
Tarun: Hmm.
Niira: From London to say that we'll come an discuss because, um, Praful and them are pushing that he's accepted when he hasn't -
23
00:04:53,855 --> 00:04:58,975
Tarun: Yeah...
Niira: - so they're just trying to create the pressure that he's accepted so that he can't -
Tarun: Praful's playing games here.
24
00:04:58,975 --> 00:05:03,328
Niira: Yeah, Praful's playing games here.
Tarun: He mustn't oblige.
25
00:05:03,328 --> 00:05:15,104
Niira: Yeah, he mustn't do that. I hope he doesn't -
Tarun: If Prime Minister were to make a personal call, it would be different, but she must have authority. No authority. This is a whitewash for Praful.
26
00:05:15,104 --> 00:05:23,040
Niira: Correct, correct, absolutely.
Tarun: And you know, Vijay Mallya and Naresh Goel and everybody will be nicing him.
Niira: Hmm hmm hmm.
27
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:28,671
Tarun: Make sure that everything collapses in.
Niira: Correct, I agree with you. I told him, that you can do without it, so let's hope...
28
00:05:28,671 --> 00:05:32,000
Tarun: Okay, take care.
Niira: Has Vishal called you?
29
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:41,216
Tarun: Yeah, yeah, he's talked to me.
Niira: He's told you because we're looking at that land within their land and he's organising that part. That was a new thing that came up today, I believe.
30
00:05:41,216 --> 00:05:48,384
Tarun: So I said there's no fire, you take your time, sort things out, then we'll see -
Niira: No but that bee's going to sting (?) because they already have to maintain that area.
31
00:05:48,384 --> 00:06:00,160
Tarun: Right.
Niira: And it has to be green, and then it comes to us at a really, really, you know, a concessional concessional rate. Which is really fantastic. We can only - they can only give it to us. Because they have to maintain it in any case, you know -
32
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,231

Manoj: <i>Haan woh</i> Utpal <i>ka woh wallah</i> query <i>tha ki</i> (Yes, Utpal had a query that) MTPC - NTPC - Power ministry is writing a letter to Petroleum ministry that they should give them 2.34 - he asked that 2.43 with the option of whatever happens in the High Court kind of a thing.
2
00:00:26,847 --> 00:00:30,431
Niira: No no, that is sub judice.
Manoj: <i>Haan, theek hai, theek hai</i> (Yes, okay, okay).
3
00:00:30,431 --> 00:00:35,296
Niira: Likewise, with (inaudible), <i>na</i>?
Manoj: Okay, okay.
4
00:00:35,296 --> 00:00:41,696
Niira: Jaiswal <i>ki</i> story <i>humko</i> help <i>hi karegi</i> (Jaiswal's story will help us).
Manoj: Umm. <i>Haan, theek hai. Ki yeh</i> allocation <i>hua nahin hai</i>. (Umm. Yes, okay. That this allocation hasn't taken place.)
5
00:00:41,696 --> 00:00:53,984
Niira: <i>Haan, haan haan. Par</i> Manoj, <i>ek baat hai, mein tujhe ek baat bataon, yeh jo</i> Anupam <i>aur yeh sab hai na</i> (Yes yes yes. But Manoj, there's one thing, may I tell you one thing, this Anupam and all) -
Manoj: Hmm.
Niira: <i>Agar tum aur mein, aur hum log teen-chaar jane agar</i> handle <i>karle na</i> (Id you and I, and us three-four people handle this) -
Manoj: <i>Haan</i>.
Niira: - (inaudible) <i>kisi ki zaroorat nahin hai</i> (there is no need for that).
6
00:00:53,984 --> 00:01:11,391
Niira: Is time, because honestly speaking, <i>na, mein jo dekh rahi hoon, aur woh mujhe</i> feedback <i>aa raha hai, ki yeh jo humko - jaise</i> Rohit <i>se bhi</i> feedback <i>aata hai ya to yeh, in logon se, isne aise kiya hai, isne aise kiya hai - hum log jyada tar</i> fear psychosis <i>mein jeete hain, tujhe pata hai na</i>, I always try to break free of that - (...honestly speaking, what I am seeing, and what feedback I am getting, for example from Rohit - this person did this, this person did that - we tend to live with a fear psychosis, you know, I always try to break free of that -)
7
00:01:11,391 --> 00:01:22,655
Manoj: Hmm, hmm.
Niira: So I do not believe, after what I've seen that nothing is possible without communicating, and I don't think that they're so powerful, ki there are wheels (inaudible) they have great strategies as Vishal puts it, you see.
8
00:01:22,655 --> 00:01:28,800
Manoj: Hmm, hmm.
Niira: I do not believe that, their strategy is destructive, and you can always counter destructive strategies.
9
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:44,672
Manoj: Hmm, hmm.
Niira: So I honestly don't know that, you know, his meeting and (inaudible) or this or that will cause - I don't think so, because I - (inaudible) has been on the phone with me since yesterday, twice he called me, you know, everyone has been in touch. Sukukumar (?) by the way called me this morning <i>haan</i>-
10
00:01:44,672 --> 00:01:58,240
Manoj: <i>Haan</i>, what's he saying?
Niira: You know, when you - I just want to say one thing to you, that I'm really grateful, and I'm sorry, maybe next time the meetings should be one-on-one, also you know, he says, when you come to Mint, just remember that you're going to have lunch with us.
11
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,847
Manoj: <i> Arrey wah!</i> (Well done!)
(inaudible)
12
00:02:02,847 --> 00:02:16,671
Manoj: Madam, <i>bas, woh ek hi hai </i> (just that one thing), I mean what you mentioned in the morning that it's upto reporters you don't get involved because they have a tendency of lee - being leeches, more than anything else, so Kumar and all that is fine, but you know, Nayantara and Supriya are all -
13
00:02:16,671 --> 00:02:27,423
Niira: I don't need to handle them, but they keep on calling me -
Manoj: <i> Haan, to aap bol do na, ki isse </i> deal <i>kar le</i> (Yes to tell them to deal with it) - you know, travelling or something like that and they will -
(inaudible)
14
00:02:27,423 --> 00:02:38,175
Manoj: No because it will get irritating after a point of time, I mean, since I handle them on a daily basis, <i>yeh kuch</i> story <i>de do, koi</i> paper <i>de do, yehi chalta reha hai unka </i> life <i>mein</i>...
Niira: <i>Haan, haan, haan, haan.</i>
15
00:02:38,175 --> 00:02:43,807
Niira: And then I said - I said, "Okay, can I choose the menu?"
Manoj: <i> Nahin</i> (No), okay, TP.
16
00:02:43,807 --> 00:02:46,367
Niira: Of course you can (chuckles).
Manoj: (chuckles)
17
00:02:46,367 --> 00:02:48,927
Niira: So anyway, just letting you know.
Manoj: Good good, good good.
18
00:02:48,927 --> 00:03:03,776
Niira: Keep that in mind, keep that in mind that we do not need that, and so when you meet Vishal now -
Manoj: Hmm.
Niira: - you need to tell him that you know, honestly speaking, our observation is quite different from what we're being told, you know -
19
00:03:03,776 --> 00:03:09,919
Manoj: Hmm.
Niira: On the ground, <i>tumhari</i> team <i>ko</i> review <i>karna kal</i> (review your team tomorrow), I think we should take some very pragmatic steps, you know?
20
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,045
Manoj: <i>Theek hai, theek hai</i> (Fine, fine).
Niira: Now let's look at it from, that point of view. Huh?
Manoj: Sure -

14
00:02:16,671 --> 00:02:32,799

Tum log sab jhoot-voot bolte rehte ho, ulte se paper bhejte ho, galat bhejte ho</i>. (that I've told them to send the papers, and I will clear the story.

15
00:02:32,799 --> 00:02:36,639

Daljeet: <i>Haan</i> (Yes), 'cause I met him today this evening, I gave him all the documents that he requires, not all, I mean some of the documents that I already had in my possession -
Niira: Uh huh.
17
00:02:47,136 --> 00:03:01,727
Daljeet: - and I gave him all the document and he sought clarification on certain things. I could see the change in the perception.

Niira: Yes he is, at present - he came in this evening -
Daljeet: And?
Niira: Usual meetings <i>jo hote hain aapki</i> (the usual meetings you have)...
27
00:04:07,776 --> 00:04:12,127
Daljeet: He met PMO and Finance Secretary and all that.
Niira: Yeah, that's right, yeah.
28
00:04:12,127 --> 00:04:21,591
Daljeet: Okay, okay. Because ET was running and those people have been calling everybody -
Niira: <i>Haan</i> (Yes).
Daljeet: But since uh they've lost credibility, CNBC didn't run that story.
29
00:04:21,591 --> 00:04:26,285
Niira: Nahin but the question is <i>ki tum bata do kii</i> (you tell that) you don't comment on his appointment -

G. Ganapathy Subramaniam: Yeah, yeah, I mean, but the way things are going the last 3-4 days...
25
00:03:30,911 --> 00:03:50,879
G.G.S.: I mean there are 20 phone calls I think to Javed, Abheek, Rahul, everybody.... and they are running around everywhere sending people to meet X, Y, Z... whatever, whatever...
26
00:03:50,879 --> 00:03:58,047
G.G.S.: ...you must have sensed the same thing in Bombay as well.. the same thing is happening
Niira Radia: Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm
27
00:03:59,839 --> 00:04:06,751
G. Ganapathy Subramaniam:  In fact I was thinking that maybe I should speak to you on some other phone number or something
Niira Radia: Why, you think they are monitoring my number?
28
00:04:06,751 --> 00:04:12,383
G. Ganapathy Subramaniam: I dont know, might be possible. I mean some people...I can rule out nothing
29
00:04:14,944 --> 00:04:20,575

G. Ganapathy Subramaniam: I think right now we need to see I think all this will probably...now... I think when the hearing starts... OK, but you know once the hearing (in Supreme court on Gas issue), starts all these things are going to quieten up.
36
00:05:01,035 --> 00:05:06,143
Niira Radia: Ok, but you need to be briefed. Ganu you have to be briefed on it. You still havent been briefed on the whole matter

43
00:05:36,863 --> 00:05:47,872
Niira Radia: Jaiswal had some stupid story about 40 (inaudible) after that.. and I told him you're being  a bit silly... we are not going to comment now that the matter is subjudice... go and ask the government now...
G. Ganapathy Subramaniam: Haan

00:05:47,872 --> 00:05:55,552

Niira Radia: He's lobbying against Raja.
6
00:00:21,472 --> 00:00:25,568
Ranjan Bhattacharya: He's lobbying against Raja?!
Niira Radia: And he's pushing Maran.

Ranjan Bhattacharya: Sunil to just arrived last night.
Niira Radia: <i>Nahii</i>, he was working in the background.
8
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:43,232
Ranjan Bhattacharya: <i>Achha</i>, because he called me yesterday... day before... he actually was in London, he just met my daughter, he asked me are you also there? I said, don't be silly <i>yaar</i>. <i>Achcha</i>. So he's lobbying against Raja for Maran?

Ranjan Bhattacharya: But tell me - ah, how is the PM reacting? Because till this morning...
11
00:00:56,288 --> 00:01:08,576
Niira Radia: PM has said nothing on this - it's just Navika Kumar who has gone overboard on the say-so of Virat Bhatia, vis a vis Maran and Sunil Mittal.
12
00:01:08,576 --> 00:01:15,232
Ranjan Bhattacharya: No no, say it again, sorry?
Niira Radia: You see Navika in Times Now is working on the DL for Virat Bhatia.

00:01:15,232 --> 00:01:21,632
Ranjan Bhattacharya: Who is Virat Bhatia?
Niira Radia: Viraj Bhatia is an AT&T guy, and also he used to be the pointman for Maran in Delhi.

Ranjan Bhattacharya: Oh that tall boy?
Niira Radia: Tall boy.
Ranjan Bhattacharya: Ah.
15
00:01:24,704 --> 00:01:31,104
Niira Radia: So he's always been Maran's PR machinery when Maran was candidate, (inaudible)
Ranjan Bhattacharya: I see, no but...
16
00:01:31,104 --> 00:01:47,232
Niira Radia: He introduced him to all his relationships to the Telecom journalists.
Ranjan Bhattacharya: But tell me... He's the... not the old man... the final authority on...?
17
00:01:47,232 --> 00:01:59,520
Niira Radia: He is, but the Old Man's got stuck. I'll tell you what he did. He's sent five names to Congress on Monday, which was Railways for Maran, Power for Baalu, Telecom for Raja, Surface (transport) for Azhagiri...
18
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:05,152
Ranjan Bhattacharya: For what? Who?
Niira Radia: Surface for Azhagiri, his son...
Ranjan Bhattacharya: Ah, Azhagiri...
19
00:02:05,152 --> 00:02:14,111
Niira Radia: And Health for Kanni, and he'd indicated that Kanni can be Health or Environment and Forests in the independent capacity.
Ranjan Bhattacharya: MoS, huh?
20
00:02:14,111 --> 00:02:22,304
Niira Radia: MoS. He knew that Railways would never get accepted and he knew that Power would not get accepted.
Ranjan Bhattacharya: Okay.
21
00:02:22,304 --> 00:02:26,399
Niira Radia: He'd also given the indication that he was under pressure from his family.
Ranjan Bhattacharya: (chuckles)
22
00:02:26,399 --> 00:02:37,406
Niira Radia: So one is committing suicide in one house, another is committing suicide in another house. And I would have thought that the Congress would have been a bit more smarter, by not pushing Maran's case all by themselves.
23
00:02:37,406 --> 00:02:47,136
Ranjan Bhattacharya: Right.
Niira Radia: So all this media blitz that they didn't do anything about from day one, they made this case for Raja and Baalu.
Ranjan Bhattacharya: Hm...
24
00:02:47,136 --> 00:02:57,888
Niira Radia: But as far Karunanidhi was concerned he cannot say no to Raja, because Raja is a Dalit.
Ranjan Bhattacharya: Yeah, yeah
Niira Radia: He needs to bring him into the Cabinet.
25
00:02:57,888 --> 00:03:00,959
Ranjan Bhattacharya: No, and plus everyone else will say <i>saale khaalii apne parivar ko de diya aur kisii kaa kuchh kiyaa nahii...</i> [Everyone will say you took your share, gave it to your family and as for everyone else...]
26
00:03:00,959 --> 00:03:10,944
Niira Radia: Hanh, and <i>Raja uskaa aadmi hain.</i> [Yes, and Raja is his man] All the sons like him, everybody likes him, amenable hain to the party and most trusted aadmii hai. <i>Usko kaun nikalenge?</i> [Who will remove him?]
27
00:03:10,944 --> 00:03:21,695
Ranjan Bhattacharya: Right.
Niira Radia: <i> Woh jyo bhi karle, Sunil Mittal jo bhii kar le, usko koi nahi nikalenge. </i>[Let him do anything. Nobody will remove him.] To which Karunanidhi told Ghulam Nabi Azad, Raja will be my Telecom IT Minister, Prime Minister said I have no problem with that.
28
00:03:21,695 --> 00:03:27,071
Ranjan Bhattacharya: Mmhmm.
Niira Radia: When all the blitz was going on, yesterday I spoke to Karunanidhi, I said why are you doing this?
29
00:03:27,071 --> 00:03:31,679
Ranjan Bhattacharya: Mmm.
Niira Radia: <i>Sunil ka naam tho aa hi gaya.</i> [Sunil's name came up]
Ranjan Bhattacharya: Mmhmm.
30
00:03:31,679 --> 00:03:41,664
Niira Radia: A lot of people don't want him, and all that, this that and the other. Then I made Barkha call up Congress, and get a statement from Congress whether the Prime Minister had actually said he doesn't want Baalu and...
31
00:03:41,664 --> 00:03:44,223
Ranjan Bhattacharya: Yeah, yeah.
Niira Radia: She carried that he had never said it.
Ranjan Bhattacharya: Yes, I read that.
32
00:03:44,223 --> 00:03:50,111
Niira Radia: Now the Congress has issued another statement saying that they're not talking, they never really talked about people.
Ranjan Bhattacharya: Mm mm.
33
00:03:50,111 --> 00:03:54,720
Niira Radia: The problem is that Azhagiri is a pretty large, big leader from the South.
Ranjan Bhattacharya: Yeah.
34
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:59,071
Niira Radia: You know he himself carries a lot of weight in the party.
Ranjan Bhattacharya: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
35
00:03:59,071 --> 00:04:05,215
Niira Radia: (inaudible) Baalu <i>aur</i> Raja <i>ko keh raha thaa</i> that if Baalu and Raja get Cabinet, I have no problem getting MoS.
Ranjan Bhattacharya: Who - this is Azhagiri?
36
00:04:05,215 --> 00:04:11,871
Niira Radia: Azhagiri. And Kanni and I can both be MoS. I have no problem, provided it is not Maran.
Ranjan Bhattacharya: It is not Maran. Right.
37
00:04:11,871 --> 00:04:16,735
Niira Radia: If Maran becomes Cabinet, then I must get Cabinet, that is why you got four.
Ranjan Bhattacharya: Mm, mm.
38
00:04:16,735 --> 00:04:26,207
Niira Radia: And the problem is that... But Congress is stupid - they should have just given a message very very clearly.... it's Karunanidhi's fault. That -
39
00:04:26,207 --> 00:04:34,399
Ranjan Bhattacharya: Niira, just hang on, you're breaking up, I'm going through this area, one minute. (pause) Hanh, can you hear me?
Niira Radia: Ha, I can hear you.
40
00:04:34,399 --> 00:04:42,282

Niira Radia: And Sunil Mittal's name is one of them.
5
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:49,048
Ranjan Bhattacharya: Listen I, I mean talking to Sunil is no point because obviously he has got this thing. Between you and me, I have a great line to Ghulam Nabi, for whatever he counts.
6
00:00:49,048 --> 00:01:02,360
Niira Radia: I have been sending him a message since morning, I told Mukesh also to speak to him and tell him to speak to Kani, because Kani will take him directly to her father. They really spoiled it for themselves because they could have got away with two cabinet berths.

8
00:01:12,599 --> 00:01:19,768
Niira Radia: They will have to be... again this whole argument that will happen, <i>ke tiin mein kaun include ho</i>.(about who should be included in the three..<i> Raja include hogaa, Azhagiri include hogaa</i> (Raja will be included, Azhagiri will be included)
9

Niira Radia: <i>Maran ko include karenge, toh baki tumhaare Tamil leaders jo is baari elections jiit ke aayenge voh kahenge hamara kya hogaa?</i> (If they include Maran then the other Tamil leaders who will win the elections this time will say what about us!)
10
00:01:25,912 --> 00:01:34,104
Ranjan Bhattacharya: <i>I mean exactly aur yeh toh biich mein bhag gayaa thha</i> (He ran away in the midst !)
Niira Radia: Maran was the big challenge, and not because I do not like the guy, but genuinely that was a big problem.
11
00:01:34,104 --> 00:01:44,088
Niira Radia: Maran kept on saying that both Ghulam Nabi Azad and Ahmed Patel have said to him that he, they want him to be in the Cabinet and that he is the only who is an acceptable face.
12
00:01:44,088 --> 00:01:59,447
Ranjan Bhattacharya: I do not think. How can a Congress guy, I mean if somebody had told me PM has said it or Sonia said it... How can a Ghulam Nabi Azad or Ahmed Patel insist on [it]? It is like saying <i>aapke ghar mein main tai karun</i> (I decide in your house)
13
00:01:59,447 --> 00:02:07,639
Niira Radia: <i>Unhone insist nahiin kiyaa hai, unhone kahaa hai humko Congress ko kya acceptable hai woh hai Dayanidhi Maran</i>, (They did not insist. They said what is acceptable to Congress is Dayanidhi Maran) so Karunanidhi got awfully confused.
14
00:02:07,639 --> 00:02:22,231
Niira Radia: The second thing that came up with Congress... said well but Karunanidhi took Maran with him to the UPA meeting, that is because Kani had disappeared somewhere else, visited somewhere else, and he does not consider <i> woh toh Chennai mein kissi ko bhi apne saath le jaata hai</i> (He takes anyone alongwith him to Chennnai)
15
00:02:22,231 --> 00:02:26,839
Ranjan Bhattacharya: Exactly, aisaa kyaa hai, <i>usse koi angrezi, ungrezi samajhne waala bhi chahiye</i> (He needs someone who understands English too.)
16
00:02:26,839 --> 00:02:39,383
Niira Radia: <i>Toh usko isliye le ke gayaa thha kyuunki Baalu nahin thha. </i> (He took him along because Balu was not there) Kani was not available. Well, he had not, and no one person has been appointed to negotiate, Maran is not the point person to negotiate.
17
00:02:39,383 --> 00:02:48,599
Ranjan Bhattacharya: <i>Achcha aisa hai, yeh toh abhi jaa raha hai apni swearing-in pe, meri abhi kisi se baat hui toh Ghulam, GNA, is being sworn in, naa</i> [It is like this, he is going for his swearing-in, I just spoke to someone, Ghulam, GNA is being sworn in, no].
18
00:02:48,599 --> 00:02:59,351
Niira Radia: What is he getting?
Ranjan Bhattacharya: Bhai, they are not admitting it, mil toh raha hai aur usko liya bhi iss liye jaa raha hai, he is getting Parliamentary Affairs basically.
19
00:02:59,351 --> 00:03:12,664
Ranjan Bhattacharya: Being a senior guy, he will be basically Parliamentary Affairs Minister... only has job for three months, <i>nau mahiine kya karegaa</i> (What will he do for 9 months). So he is lobbying for something, but <i> abhii tak inhone tai toh nahin kiya</i> (But they haven't decided as yet.
20
00:03:12,664 --> 00:03:15,735
Niira Radia: Tell them to give him aviation, Praful ko baahar rakho
21
00:03:15,735 --> 00:03:27,767
Ranjan Bhattacharya:<i> Nahin, Praful ne toh raat ko itna drama kiyaa; apparently, they toh at midnight jaa ke Praful ko aviation bolaa hai, par Praful ki aaj swearing-in nahin hai</i> (Praful did a lot of drama last night, so at midnight he has been told about aviation, but he is not swearing in today)

Ranjan Bhattacharya:<i> Aur mujhko Ramesh Sharma called up bahut achcha hai hamare Anand Sharma ho rahein hain, my information is Anand Sharma nahin hain</i> (Ramesh Sharma called up to say its great that its Anand Sharma but my information is that Anand Sharma isn't the one)
24
00:03:44,664 --> 00:03:50,295
Niira Radia: <i> Anand Sharma hai isme</i> (Anand Sharma is there)
Ranjan Bhattacharya: <i>Nahin hai, yeh sab media ne...</i>(No all this is by the media..)
Niira Radia:<i>Mujhe Mukesh ne bola</i> (Mukesh told me)
25
00:03:50,295 --> 00:03:53,879
Ranjan Bhattacharya:<i>Chalo dekhte hain, mere ko nahiiN lagtaa hai</i>(Let's see, I don't think so)
Niira Radia: Elevated to Cabinet.
26
00:03:53,879 --> 00:04:04,119
Ranjan Bhattacharya: <i>Nahin, Cabinet, par abhii aaj uskaa abhii media chalaa rahaa hai at least tiin ghante pehle tak naa usko chithhi aai thhi, naa Mukul Wasnik ko chithhi aai thhi</i> (But the media is still running his.. atleast three hours back he didn't have any letter.. Mukul Wasnik got a letter)
27

Niira Radia: Achcha
Ranjan Bhattacharya: But I don't know.
Niira Radia: ...

Ranjan Bhattacharya: So is Mukesh happy with...?
Niira Radia: Very happy.
29
00:04:12,055 --> 00:04:16,918
Ranjan Bhattacharya: (Laughs) You know what he told me.
Niira Radia: What?
30
00:04:16,918 --> 00:04:28,183
Ranjan Bhattacharya: He tells me, he says, you know, he is in his usual style, kya kyo, I told him 'Mera chhodo, kya kyo, aapko kya hai
Niira Radia: Hmm
31
00:04:28,183 --> 00:04:35,863
Ranjan Bhattacharya: He says, Sir, theek hai. I said, Mukesh, once in a while show some bloody emotion. Aapka to sab kaam ho gaya (all your work's been done).
Niira Radia: Hmm.
32
00:04:35,863 --> 00:04:45,335
Ranjan Bhattacharya:<i> Motu nahin aaya, yeh nahin hua</i> (fatty didn't make it). He replied, 'Haan yaar, you know Ranjan, you're right, <i> ab to Congress apni dukaan hai</i> (now the Congress is our shop).'
33
00:04:45,335 --> 00:04:51,223

Ranjan Bhattacharya: Who?
34
00:04:51,223 --> 00:04:57,880
Niira Radia: Bhardwaj?
Ranjan Bhattacharya: Who is not coming, sorry?
Niira Radia: Bhardwaj, Bhardwaj
35
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,183
Ranjan Bhattacharya: I cannot understand, sorry.
Niira Radia: Bhardwaj, law minister.
36
00:05:00,183 --> 00:05:23,479
Ranjan Bhattacharya: Bharadwaj! Oh yeah, he has done such a lot of kabaaRaa, and especially in those two cases now where CBI then botched it up in both the DA ke assets. These are all under law ministries' instructions, so they are pretty pissed off with him.
37
00:05:23,479 --> 00:05:30,647
Ranjan Bhattacharya: I think they are also now getting in the core guys and then the youngsters, but now I wonder who will get law; will Kapil get it, I dunno?
38
00:05:30,647 --> 00:05:36,279
Niira Radia: I wonder, I wonder, maybe Kapil only.
Ranjan Bhattacharya: Um, hmm?
Niira Radia: Maybe Kapil.
39
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:45,239
Ranjan Bhattacharya: But <i>lawyer toh wohi hai par</i> (But he is only the lawyer)
Niira Radia: Oh yes. No, Ranjan, when you speak to Ghulam, you should tell him that they really messed it up, haan?
40
00:05:45,239 --> 00:05:51,895
Ranjan Bhattacharya: No, so now basically you want me to convey ki <i>aap Kanimozhi ke through jaa ke buddhe ko seedha milo, yai hai na.</i> (Through Kanimozhi you go and meet the old man, right?)
41
00:05:51,895 --> 00:05:58,552
Niira Radia: <i> Agar tum log jo list tumhe bheji thhi uspe agar Baalu or Maran ko mana kar dete toh tumhaaraa problem solve ho jaataa</i> (If you would have refused Balu or Maran as per the list that had been sent to you then the problem would have been solved).
42
00:05:58,552 --> 00:06:00,343
Ranjan Bhattacharya: <i>Bhai, ab toh woh nahin hua toh ab kya karna hai</i> (That didn't happen so what to do now?)
43
00:06:00,343 --> 00:06:19,031
Niira Radia: Abhi unko Kanimozhi ke paas they have to call her and go directly and meet Karunanidhi. They have to relay two things, they do not want to give infrastructure to Baalu or Maran.
44
00:06:19,031 --> 00:06:26,455
Niira Radia: They have no issue where Raja is concerned, kyuunki unhe pataa hi hai even if they have an issue, the old man is going to bring Raja; he is very clear about that.
45
00:06:26,455 --> 00:06:36,951
Niira Radia: So don't antagonise him, because he has got Dalit as now they will have to give Azhagiri one, Raja one and one maybe they will give to another leader from Tamil Nadu,
46
00:06:36,951 --> 00:06:45,911
Niira Radia: or they will, just so that they keep this whole controversy out, they will give it to Baalu only, and then drop Maran altogether and give Kani an independent charge.
47
00:06:45,911 --> 00:06:54,615
Ranjan Bhattacharya: So Azhagiri independent charge or Cabinet, they are okay with it.
Niira Radia: Azhagiri in Cabinet because <i> tiin ho gayaa toh Azhagiri ko denaa hi paRegaa</i> (As it is three they will have to give Azhagiri)
48
00:06:54,615 --> 00:07:06,391
Ranjan Bhattacharya: Okay, but this will happen only late, it will only happen late night.
Niira Radia: Yeah, but if they keep Maran out, maybe they will be able to still get away with two.
Ranjan Bhattacharya: Oh, okay.
49
00:07:06,391 --> 00:07:22,776
Niira Radia: Which will then make this guy come out quite well ... Karunanidhi, saying, 'Forget about what the channels are saying about me, or Jayalalitha is saying, both my children are taking MoS independent and I am bringing Baalu and Raja to be the cabinet ministers, they are not my family.'
50
00:07:22,776 --> 00:07:36,600
Ranjan Bhattacharya: Okay, now listen, I mean GNA channel is there, if I send word straight to SG, is that better?
Niira Radia: SG is... kaun? (Who?)
51
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:43,768
Ranjan Bhattacharya: (Laughs) SG is SG boss.
Niira Radia: Oh, beg your pardon, sorry I didn't get, haan yeah, yeah, <i>bhijwaa doh</i> (Send it !)
52
00:07:43,768 --> 00:07:51,703
Ranjan Bhattacharya: Because that then I can achieve in the morning. I am meeting somebody.
Niira Radia: <i>Par tum isko GNA ko bhi bol doh</i> [you tell this to GNA as well], he is handling Tamil Nadu.
53
00:07:51,703 --> 00:07:56,520
Ranjan Bhattacharya: I know, okay.
Niira Radia: Tell him they are being misled by this guy Maran.
Ranjan Bhattacharya: Okay.

Niira Radia: Congress is already...
4
00:00:18,912 --> 00:00:26,079
Barkha Dutt: No, you see Congress's only condition is ... DMK should not get surface transport, beyond individuals. Right?
5
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:35,552
Niira Radia: Correct, correct, and they are not individuals. Let me tell you one thing's for sure. 3 plus 4 was yesterday; because of Maran, they wanted to make it 4 plus 3.
Barkha Dutt: Okay!
6
00:00:35,552 --> 00:00:42,976

8
00:00:51,424 --> 00:00:59,104
Niira Radia: You see, according to her, he's got Health, but he can't be cabinet. Either Maran is not cabinet, either Raja is not cabinet or Baalu's not.
9
00:00:59,104 --> 00:01:07,296
Barkha Dutt: Azhagiri's got Health and that's a big compromise by Congress because they said we won't give them Health. So that's their face saver. No, but Azhagiri, Health can be cabinet?
10
00:01:07,296 --> 00:01:13,440

12
00:01:25,216 --> 00:01:30,592
Niira Radia: Maran gets Telecom and IT.
Barkha Dutt: Maran gets Telecom and IT. Raja gets demoted.

Kanimozhi: Yes, yes. That I know. No, no. I'm not saying that. I'm just saying be careful, because it shouldn't, because he's trying to get somebody from the congress say things against Raja to dad.
10
00:01:32,896 --> 00:01:39,551
Niira Radia: Nobody said anything; the prime minister has not made a statement.
Kanimozhi: Not the prime minister. When they come to meet dad...
11
00:01:39,551 --> 00:01:49,791
Niira Radia: Agreed. But Kanni, the prime minister has just made a statement that I have no problem with Raja and Baalu, they're my esteemed colleagues. Prime minister has just made that statement.
12
00:01:49,791 --> 00:02:01,568
Kanimozhi: He can make a statement, but whoever is going to come and talk to dad shouldn't talk otherwise. Because, see, what people say outside and what actually they mean is very different and all of us know that in politics.
13
00:02:01,568 --> 00:02:12,319
Kanimozhi: You can always call somebody your friend and then come and have a discussion and say, see, I don't want this person. That is for public appearances, we do a lot of things.
14
00:02:12,319 --> 00:02:26,911
Kanimozhi: So I'm just saying make sure that whoever is going to come and talk doesn't talk against this guy, because I heard from another source that they....
15
00:02:26,911 --> 00:02:35,615
Niira Radia: Well, okay. Yes, I spoke to Raja also.
Kanimozhi: See, Raja is one person who will say everything is not a problem; everything is okay.
16
00:02:35,615 --> 00:02:46,367
Niira Radia: Yes, yes, yes. I don't think Congress is in any mood to discuss what portfolio should be taken, they're going to leave it to your father, is what I was told by both the...
17
00:02:46,367 --> 00:02:54,815
Kanimozhi: No, no. I'm saying all that is fine. But they shouldn't come and say anything, because I'm sure they will come and say something against Baalu.
18
00:02:54,815 --> 00:03:01,983
Niira Radia: Yes, Baalu, they are saying. They're saying against Baalu.
Kanimozhi: No, but they also want to say, I think, against Raja.
Niira Radia: They're saying they're not going to...
19
00:03:01,983 --> 00:03:20,159
Kanimozhi: Even one line against him will definitely take more to this guy. Actually they say that we're very happy to give it to Raja, because he did a good job and things like that.
20
00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:29,888
Kanimozhi: Then it will be, it will work in his favor. Even if they don't go back, it is okay, but if it is going to go against him, one word against him [Indiscernible]
21
00:03:29,888 --> 00:03:39,871
Niira Radia: Have you heard this other thing from DMK, which is that they're saying that your meeting, whatever, whenever that's going to happen, tomorrow is it?
Kanimozhi: Yes.
22
00:03:39,871 --> 00:03:57,639
Niira Radia: The DMK meeting, zonal one, that they may just suggest that both, all three males, Raja, Baalu, Maran, should be removed and see new names.
Kanimozhi: No, no, no. I don't think that is happening, no, no. But just make sure of this, one second.

Vir Sanghvi: Can you talk?

Niira Radia: Yeah, yeah. Okay.
Vir Sanghvi: No, Maran did not meet Sonia.
Niira Radia: He didn't, no? They've gone around telling everybody...
5
00:00:24,544 --> 00:00:37,344
Vir Sanghvi: He's not met Sonia, he's been, they have refused, they're not treating him as official spokesperson at all. He called..., I saw your message, he is nonstop calling up Ghulam Nabi Azad every half an hour and making new demands and all that.
6
00:00:37,344 --> 00:00:52,448
Vir Sanghvi: As far as we're concerned there is two wives, one brother, one sister, one nephew it's all got very complicated for us. We've made a basic offer, if Karunanidhi responds to us and tells us that he would like to respond directly, he would like to talk to Ms. Gandhi.
7
00:00:52,448 --> 00:01:04,992
Vir Sanghvi: He spoke only to Manmohan Singh. We would be more than happy but we're not going to chase them now. We've told Maran that also they have to come back to us and tell us what they think of our offer. And apparently the DMK is getting very bad press in Chennai?
Niira Radia: Mm-hmm.
8
00:01:04,992 --> 00:01:18,560
Vir Sanghvi: So, he said we're going to wait for two days. Let them come back, we are of the line that this is not a Congress- DMK problem, this is an internal DMK problem because they can't get their act together between all his wives and children and nephews and all of that.
9
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:28,032
Vir Sanghvi: He's got to get his act together and nominate one person and we would be very happy to deal with him. We are not happy with this Maran who keeps calling up Ghulam Nabi and saying talk to me, talk to me. They are not taking him seriously.
10
00:01:28,032 --> 00:01:35,968
Niira Radia: Very interesting. I'm glad of - you spoke to Ghulam Nabi, is it?
Vir Sanghvi: I spoke to Ahmed.
11
00:01:35,968 --> 00:01:40,832
Niira Radia: Ahmed <i>achha</i>.
Vir Sanghvi: Ghulam Nabi is not very key figure, Ahmed is the key figure.
12
00:01:40,832 --> 00:01:53,632
Niira Radia: Right, right, right.
Vir Sanghvi: Yeah. So, Ahmed he says Ghulam has been dealing with Maran. But Ghulam is not our official person and we're not taking Maran seriously. As far as we're concerned they've asked for five crucial ministries, they've asked for five crucial ministries, it's an idiotic and unreasonable demand.
13
00:01:53,632 --> 00:02:10,139
Vir Sanghvi: We've made them a perfectly reasonable demand. Now, it is for Karunanidhi to get back to us, Kanni come and see us, anyone can come and see us and say I'll put you on the line with my father et cetera, lines are, doors are open to her. But we can't have a situation where Maran keeps calling us and saying I'm the person and telling Ghulam, I want this, I want that, who is Maran?
14
00:02:10,139 --> 00:02:18,463
Niira Radia: Mm-hmm.
Vir Sanghvi: Maran has gone back apparently today to Chennai?
Niira Radia: Yeah. He has gone back, yeah. I'll tell him to call back.
15
00:02:18,463 --> 00:02:28,447
Vir Sanghvi: He says, we told him - we told Maran also that we'll deal with Karunanidhi, so he has gone back. So, they are quite hopeful they say, we made a very reasonable offer, we've lot of regards for Karunanidhi, we would like to deal with him. We have no regard for Maran.
16
00:02:28,447 --> 00:02:32,799
Niira Radia: Okay. That's interesting.
Vir Sanghvi: Yeah.
17
00:02:32,799 --> 00:02:37,918
Niira Radia: I better tell them this.
Vir Sanghvi: Yeah. Anything further, I mean, just let me know and I'll take it further.
18

Kani: Hi! Niira.
Radia: Kani there is feedback from the Congress... is that - this is from Ahmed Patel, ok...
Kani: Ok.
3
00:00:30,876 --> 00:00:42,976
Radia: He says that look, we recognise that the problem is the DMK internal problem...it's a problem between the family...it's a problem between their own people. We have given...they've given us a list which is of 5 people... it is not acceptable to us.
Kani: Yeah.
4
00:00:42,976 --> 00:00:48,996
Radia: It is for them to resolve. We've told them what is the best that we can do.
Kani: Yeah. (unclear)
5
00:00:48,996 --> 00:00:56,932
Radia:Yeah...well we appreciate that the dialogue has broken down but it's not for us to get back to them because we've given them a last and final offer.
6
00:00:56,932 --> 00:01:08,576
Radia: As far as we are concerned Dayanidhi Maran has been calling Ghulam Nabi Azad on the half hour... and demanding all sorts of things and they have told him very categorically... no point you calling us.
7
00:01:08,576 --> 00:01:14,695
Radia: We need Mr Karunanidhi whether he wants to meet Sonia Gandhi...whether he wants...it is... really the initiative has to come from the DMK to talk to us...
8
00:01:14,695 --> 00:01:26,240
Radia: - we are not going to now call you or talk to you unless you are formally authorized by Karunanidhi to speak to us. Then we will speak to you but there is no point calling us every half an hour and giving us any demand.
9
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,863
Radia: - He has not met Sonia Gandhi at all.
10
00:01:28,863 --> 00:01:36,991
Kani: But what does he...what demands he's got?
Radia: He's been making the same demands: that you give us 5 portfolios or we will not join.
11
00:01:36,991 --> 00:01:45,695
Radia: - or give us atleast four and we will not join and he has demanded surface transport...demanded Telecom...he has demanded Railways -
12
00:01:45,695 --> 00:01:50,878
Radia:...and otherwise he's also demanded Coal and Mines.
13
00:01:50,878 --> 00:02:00,800
Radia: He has said... they are saying as far as we are concerned... we recognise that this is an internal DMK problem and a DMK family problem. It has nothing to do with Congress at all.
14
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,992
Radia: Congress has spelt out its position.
15
00:02:03,992 --> 00:02:10,502
Radia: So therefore the leadership has taken a decision which is why they have not called you and taken... they are all waiting to meet before the swearing in part yet...
16
00:02:10,502 --> 00:02:20,791
Radia: That they've taken a decision that it is for Karunanidhi to decide who he wants who he doesn't want in the formula that has been provided to him and it is for him to get back to him and tell them what they want.
17
00:02:20,791 --> 00:02:30,495
Radia: If he decides he wants to nominate you to talk or nominate 'X' to talk or 'Y' to talk that's entirely upto Karunanidhi to decide but they feel that there are far too many people who are calling...
18
00:02:33,311 --> 00:02:39,454
Radia: ...including Dayanidhi Maran which has been on the half an hour, that's one the second is...
Kani: Who is calling... actually I haven't made contacts...
19
00:02:39,454 --> 00:02:43,527
Radia: No, not you. I think maybe Balu has been calling also because he indicated that...
20
00:02:43,527 --> 00:02:50,207
Radia: That even Balu has been calling from Chennai and he also indicated one more thing he said that...
21
00:02:50,207 --> 00:03:00,447
Radia: ...there was a news report that came out at 7'o clock this evening which said that Dayanidhi got Telecom etc, etc... all that. That's a news report when checked back with Times Now was given by Sun TV.
22
00:03:00,447 --> 00:03:10,944
Radia: Therefore it's an internal problem that we suspect no point putting it on to us 'cause we are not putting out any such information...
23
00:03:10,944 --> 00:03:19,391
Radia: So they've really... basically saying: we are not going to call we had a talk and the reason we did not contact you is because we are not in a position to talk...
24
00:03:19,391 --> 00:03:22,916
Radia: ...we don't know what you want.
25
00:03:22,916 --> 00:03:30,399
Radia: It's your problem internally first that you have to resolve. The Prime Minister has...(audio unclear)
Radia: No, no, see the only thing is...
26
00:03:30,399 --> 00:03:39,103
Kani: ...see we just want some initiative from their side because the leader is really hurt about the abruptness of the whole thing.
27
00:03:39,103 --> 00:03:44,199
Kani: Somebody should come from that side to start it.
Radia: Hmm.
28
00:03:44,199 --> 00:03:48,851
Kani: Then I think it will go off. I'll also try to convey that message.
29
00:03:48,851 --> 00:03:55,720
Radia: Yes. Tell them it has come from Ahmed Patel....ha?
Kani: Hmm.
Radia: So they can... you can tell him that very clearly...
30
00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:03,351
Radia:...that this is a message and their view is that... and tell him that he is concerned... you can check with Ghulam Nabi Azad.
31
00:04:03,351 --> 00:04:13,664
Radia: He will confirm to you that every half an hour this man has been calling him... and they had to tell him today that we don't recognise you we need your leader to come back to us.
32
00:04:13,664 --> 00:04:21,575
Radia: I mean literally we had to tell him this...we don't know you...we know your leader.
33
00:04:21,575 --> 00:04:30,791
Radia: So their side, they aren't bothered about him or who comes in, or what happens. But they will go with the 3 by 4 formula.
34
00:04:30,791 --> 00:04:36,936
I'll talk to him just now and tell them their abruptness - and see if we can find a way round that and see how we can do...
35
00:04:36,936 --> 00:04:42,935
Radia: But I think you need to relay this message to your dad.
Kani: No...no... will.
Radia: Hmm...<i>chal</i> (fine).
36
00:04:42,935 --> 00:04:49,479
Radia: He's with you, no, today?
Kani: I will talk to him in the morning, he's just gone to sleep.
37
00:04:49,479 --> 00:04:58,582
Radia: Ok. But in the meantime just let me speak to them now, because they are all still awake let me see what they are saying about....there is a... you know... even that will have to go back and check with everyone, no...
38
00:04:58,582 --> 00:05:06,399
Radia: 'Cause just to get this message back to me because I've been pushing them since morning to speak to you.
39
00:05:06,399 --> 00:05:12,207
Radia: They... had their own internal discussion first and then they took a very conscious decision that this...
40
00:05:12,207 --> 00:05:20,967
Radia: ... list of 5 that has given by Karunanidhi was ill thought of, I mean not by your father -
Kani: No...no... but (audio unclear) -
Radia: ...and they said that it has been -
Kani: - casually sent.
41
00:05:20,967 --> 00:05:29,903
Kani: No... no that was what very casually sent.
Radia: But he's saying it should not have been sent because anything that is coming from him, they take it very seriously because it's him.
42
00:05:29,903 --> 00:05:40,679
Kani: Yeah, I agree.
Radia: Yeah and so they are saying that... obviously that was an absurd list and... they said nothing on Balu, nothing on Raja, Prime Minister's clarified.
43
00:05:40,679 --> 00:05:50,432
Kani: Yeah.
Radia: There is no such thing, nobody has made such statement if there are individual leaders in the Congress who have their own personal views then those are their personal views which they can tell the Congress.
44
00:05:50,432 --> 00:05:55,807
... ... ...
45
00:05:55,807 --> 00:06:02,208
Radia: Let me talk to this one...how did the meeting go? What was the meeting about?
Kani: No meeting, nothing.
46
00:06:02,208 --> 00:06:10,419
Radia: I thought this evening everybody came... all the people...
Kani: No... no... generally every evening people come over in the evening and they'll be sitting and chatting.
47
00:06:10,419 --> 00:06:13,727
Radia: All media was standing outside...
Kani: Media's mad ya.
48
00:06:13,727 --> 00:06:22,127
Radia: Grand discussion that was going to happen and... (audio unclear)
Kani: - Plus or minus, one or two.
49
00:06:22,127 --> 00:06:26,015
Radia: I know...they are all the same I'm telling you... I know them all...
50
00:06:26,015 --> 00:06:32,791
Radia: ...they don't have anything else to do. So let me talk to them now, I'll just have a word with him right now... yeah.
Kani: Sure.
51
00:06:32,791 --> 00:06:42,351
Radia: And see what feedback it is... obviously, please understand that my discussions are all on a very informal basis.
Kani: Yeah... yeah... yeah.
Radia: Yeah, so but please this is what has come from them... I mean... I think...
52
00:06:42,351 --> 00:06:49,824
Radia: We have to... I think you need to tell him this in its absolute terms what they are saying... they are very clear about it...
53
00:06:49,824 --> 00:06:59,207
Radia: - they really have a lot of respect for him.
Kani: Yeah... yeah.
Radia: They support Sonia Gandhi and you know, they are very respectful for him. But maybe I'll go back and tell them a bit...
54
00:06:59,207 --> 00:07:03,623
Radia: ...was the meeting very aggressive?
Kani: Pardon?
55
00:07:03,623 --> 00:07:13,239
Radia: When you had the meeting, were they very aggressive, was it?
Kani: No. Some party members of course they feel that he is being slighted that is all.
Radia: Hmm.
56
00:07:13,239 --> 00:07:17,936
Radia: When you went to that meeting...
57
00:07:17,936 --> 00:07:27,455
Radia: ...when Balu came out and made that statement about outside support... was that meeting very aggressive?
Kani: No it was not, see people can talk once the leader gets hurt everybody gets emotional no?
Radia: Hmm.
58
00:07:27,455 --> 00:07:34,087
Kani: So naturally that's how they react.
59
00:07:34,087 --> 00:07:43,928
Radia: ...but why did he get hurt?
Kani: It was very abrupt... see after some more discussion and all that stuff if you had still said the same thing....
60
00:07:43,928 --> 00:07:53,824
Kani: ...If you had sent somebody and then you know try to talk...I mean, over the phone, and just saying, 'No this is it ,and we can't do more than that'.
61
00:07:53,824 --> 00:07:59,175
Kani: I mean finally we might agree to whatever it is -
62
00:07:59,175 --> 00:08:08,087
Kani: - I mean, that is not the only thing... he feels... they dealt with him that way.
63
00:08:08,087 --> 00:08:18,863
Kani: I think everybody in the party felt that way.
Radia: Hmm... Ok, I will relay that because that's an important point to relay that he is hurt about that... that's fine.
64
00:08:18,863 --> 00:08:28,872
Radia: I'll do that... I'll do that so they can address that... but you may want to tell them that he has called every half an hour. You may want to tell your dad because he hasn't and they've told him very categorically are you authorised or not authorised to talk?
65
00:08:28,872 --> 00:08:35,807
Kani: If I say that it will look very bad.
Radia: No, but Kani you have to tell him the truth no? This is the truth.
66
00:08:35,807 --> 00:08:38,637
Kani: I'll try... I'll try.
Radia: No but you tell him that he's been calling every half an hour -
Kani: Yeah sure, sure.
Radia: He can check with Ghulam Nabi Azad
67
00:08:38,637 --> 00:08:38,637
Radia: No, you tell him that he has been calling every half an hour...he can check with Ghulam Nabi Azad?
Kani: Yeah... sure.

10
00:00:58,158 --> 00:01:05,412

00:01:05,412 --> 00:01:05,636
Male voice: hmm hmm..
12
00:01:05,636 --> 00:01:13,577
Nira: ...because aaa.... he said that eh Congress had to call amm..aa.. the Chee .. Chief Minister directly in the morning.
13
00:01:13,577 --> 00:01:13,906
Male voice: Hmm...
14
00:01:13,906 --> 00:01:18,200
Nira: ...and tell them about Baalu..because Baalu <i>pe issue tha</i> (The issue was with respect to Baalu)

18
00:01:26,914 --> 00:01:31,210
Nira: He's...you see the problem is not what we are all thinking. I had a long chat with Raja and ehh with Kani last night.
19
00:01:31,210 --> 00:01:31,625
...: Hmm Hmm.
20
00:01:31,625 --> 00:01:35,069
Nira: Azhagiri is a mass leader.
21
00:01:35,069 --> 00:01:35,902
...: <i>Haan.</i> (Ya)
22
00:01:35,902 --> 00:01:38,036
Nira: He controls a very large following.
23
00:01:38,036 --> 00:01:39,325
Male voice: Uh huh.
24
00:01:39,325 --> 00:01:45,235
Nira: You were saying I'll give him MoS independent and you giving Maran cabinet, is where the hiccup has come up.
25
00:01:45,235 --> 00:01:46,689
Male voice: Correct correct correct.
26
00:01:46,689 --> 00:01:50,164
Nira: He's a bigger leader than Balu and all of them put together...
27
00:01:50,164 --> 00:01:50,930
Male voice: Correct correct.
28
00:01:50,930 --> 00:01:55,628
Nira: So all the Tamilians got up and said what is this?
29
00:01:55,628 --> 00:01:56,527
Male voice: Hm.
30
00:01:56,527 --> 00:02:00,611
Nira: Whatever his following is... there.. local and local MP's and all that and MLA's will support him...
31
00:02:00,611 --> 00:02:01,523
Male voice: Hmm hmm...
32
00:02:01,523 --> 00:02:04,441
Nira: ...they said how can Maran be given a cabinet port...
33
00:02:04,441 --> 00:02:05,016
Male voice: Hm.
34
00:02:05,016 --> 00:02:12,136
Nira: ...when this guy is being given...So then Azhagiri turned around and said, not only himself but how come Kani is not being given a cabinet port?
35
00:02:12,136 --> 00:02:12,889
Male voice: Hmm Hmm.
36
00:02:12,889 --> 00:02:17,875
Nira: <i>..toh...</i> (then...) then.. then he said to his father, you drop Baalu and Maran.
37
00:02:17,875 --> 00:02:19,662

38
00:02:19,662 --> 00:02:27,886

00:02:27,886 --> 00:02:28,792
Male voice: <i>Maran ne? </i> (Who, Maran?)
40
00:02:28,792 --> 00:02:31,289
Nira: <i>Haan, Maran ko bola usne...</i> (Ya, he told Maran), you take MoS.

Male voice: Hmm...
42
00:02:31,619 --> 00:02:39,329
Nira: He kept absolutely quiet. <i>Uski shakal dekhni thi</i> (One should have seen his face) apparently last night, she's telling me this...she said then, Azhagiri went to Kani last night at midnight.
43
00:02:39,329 --> 00:02:39,970
Male voice: Hmm...
44
00:02:39,970 --> 00:02:41,811

46
00:02:43,679 --> 00:02:48,856

47
00:02:48,856 --> 00:02:49,757
Male voice: <i>Haan haan. Huh?</i> (Ya, Ya.. what?)
48
00:02:49,757 --> 00:02:54,296
Nira: ...but aa...there's a meeting. You minister is going for the swearing in <i>na</i>?
49
00:02:54,296 --> 00:02:56,829
Male voice: <i>Pata nahi</i> (i don't know) I'll now go to residence...
(Tape ends)

NIra: <i>Haan</i> (Ya)

Vir: Hi, Nira.
Radia: Vir, sorry to disturb you.
Vir: No... no.
Radia: I just spoke to Kani, the thing is that... they've had... this meeting they had... there has been no meeting they have had in DMK today ... it's simply just everybody coming to meet the leader.
2
00:00:19,167 --> 00:00:32,479
Vir: Right.
Radia: There... I think they have a lot of respect for Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi as well. What she's saying is that the general feeling in the party and the...and that of Karunanidhi is that he recognises it... guess he has to deal with this problem... and he has to deal with it himself.
3
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:44,000
Radia: But he feels the manner in which the Congress handled it... in terms that they were very abrupt... they called over the telephone and well this is it and nothing else. I think he also recognises the list that was given, was given very casually.
4
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:53,472
Vir: Ok.
Radia: I said but you know any list that was given by Karunanidhi is not treated casually.
Vir: Right.
Radia: It's a very serious thing. You are giving a list of 5 cabinet berths... I mean that cannot be treated casually right?
Vir: Right.
5
00:00:53,472 --> 00:01:08,832
Radia: So, okay, fair enough. But he feels a little...slighted because it was a very abrupt... if you... he said... his view was... if you had several rounds of discussion and several rounds meaning you could have one or two extra rounds of discussion when you suddenly say ok this is my position...that is fine.
6
00:01:08,832 --> 00:01:18,816
Radia: But only after one meeting...
Vir: Hmm.
Radia: You suddenly call up and you are very abrupt - that is where he got offended.
VIr: Fair... What about his conversations with Manmohan Singh last night ?
7
00:01:18,816 --> 00:01:26,496
Radia: It was nothing but Manmohan Singh said only two words.
Vir: Which were?
Radia: That you know we should just try and resolve these issues. Kani was the one who was translating.
Vir: That's right.
8
00:01:26,496 --> 00:01:43,136
Radia: And we should try and resolve it, let's not you know, let's work through this... then try and resolve it... and he said fine and that was it... It lasted hardly a...less then a couple of minutes.
Vir: Ok. I'll pass this on ?
Radia: Yeah. I think they feel that even if there is any gesture...
Vir: Yeah. They would respond...
9
00:01:43,136 --> 00:01:53,375
Radia: They will respond very favorably.
Vir: Ok.
Radia: I don't think there is any this thing and he can then decide you know... he'll do it...I think...I think they should at least go back and say we don't...we didn't mean to...you know.
10
00:01:53,375 --> 00:01:58,439
Radia: We get a sense that you feel that there is... you're offended or something, but I don't think...
Vir: In the sense we will not reply to you... you will have to respect -

Kanimozhi: Hello.
Niira Radia: Hi, Kanni.
Kanimozhi: Hi, Nira
3
00:00:15,328 --> 00:00:29,152
Niira Radia: I spoke to them again whether they would speak to the CM and give him some message, but they haven't taken a call, I think what is being spread right now is that Infrastructure should not be given to Baalu and Raja.
4
00:00:29,152 --> 00:00:39,136
Niira Radia: When actually what is being said is that it should not be given to Maran and Baalu. So there is also a view that, he hasn't met Sonia Gandhi, I have confirmed that.
5
00:00:39,136 --> 00:00:55,263
Kanimozhi: Yeah, even I found out.
Niira Radia: He is not met and I believe that he has indicated to somebody that he has met your father separately and had a meeting with him and briefed him on Delhi and your father had told him to quietly have a meeting in Delhi on his own.
6
00:00:55,263 --> 00:01:27,008
Kanimozhi: No, that's not true. Because when my - he actually asked everybody to leave and he just wanted to have a word alone. My mother, I mean, she didn't realize that, she just took her glass of buttermilk to my father, so she happened to be there, through the entire conversation, he was trying to give [Inaudible] to him saying that it is important, we should be there, what, it's okay, I don't mind.
7
00:01:27,008 --> 00:01:54,144
(Indiscernible)
Kanimozhi: Hello? Hello? So that is what he said, I mean, he hasn't said anything alone. So dad hasn't said anything. Today, dad has been told that nobody who is actually interested in joining the cabinet should be allowed to negotiate.
Niira Radia: Correct, correct. Absolutely, yeah.
8
00:01:54,144 --> 00:01:58,496
Kanimozhi: Dad is quite okay with that.
Niira Radia: Yeah, yeah. So I guess that's the better way to do it, no?
9
00:01:58,496 --> 00:02:21,535
Kanimozhi: He is just lying and spreading...
Niira Radia: No, he is saying that by the way. Because I spoke to Rajdeep just a few minutes ago. So, I asked Rajdeep, I said where did you get this information from? Then he said, look I'm going to tell you something. He said Sun TV is actually working overtime in spreading news to my, all our correspondents, not only ours, but Times Now and everybody else.
10
00:02:21,535 --> 00:02:37,918
Niira Radia: They are working overnight to just spread information and he said I recognized it last night, they gave us wrong information when they said that it had been done, the deal was signed, you know? Yeah, and he said I recognized, so I'm very conscious of it, but this whole aspect of Infrastructure not going to Raja and Baalu is very dangerous.
11
00:02:37,918 --> 00:02:57,119
Niira Radia: And I said, look I don't think you should be, Prime Minister has already clarified all this. So then again I spoke to my, the Congress and asked them whether there was any statement like this on infrastructure. They said, we've given the berths, we have not said anything else. Telecom is already Infrastructure. So if Prime Minister has any reservation, then...
12
00:02:57,119 --> 00:03:03,263
Kanimozhi: See, Telecom is, like we only asked Telecom for Raja.
Niira Radia: Correct, correct.
13
00:03:03,263 --> 00:03:19,391
Kanimozhi: And uh the day... If they have problems, they wouldn't have given it back to us.
Niira Radia: They said exactly that. They said exactly that, that Infrastructure is Telecom, we don't have any problem with it but what he has done is, he has used that very cleverly by saying Infrastructure is not, because Raja and Baalu are not welcome.
14
00:03:19,391 --> 00:03:27,583
Niira Radia: I'm the only one now who fits for Telecom, because he doesn't want to go to Labor or Chemical Fertilizer.
Kanimozhi: He doesn't want to go because it's not good for his image.
15
00:03:27,583 --> 00:03:42,944
Niira Radia: That's right, that's right. So just to let you know that that's where he has used it cleverly and Congress is...
Kanimozhi: You should [Indiscernible]. He is very - see, let us - you should tell them also, Niira. He is the one who is actually creating half the problem.
16
00:03:42,944 --> 00:03:57,279
Niira Radia: I did that, yeah. This morning, all my messages to everyone went that it's, he is the only one. And I explained the whole Alagiri aspect, that they have to understand that he is a mass leader. And in any case, in any party, priority would always go to a mass leader.
17
00:03:57,279 --> 00:04:03,167
Kanimozhi: Exactly.
Niira Radia: Yeah, so he is not a mass leader and therefore he is not a priority, he is trying it.
18
00:04:03,167 --> 00:04:09,567
Kanimozhi: We have other elections coming [Indiscernible] [0:04:06:6]. We do not want to antagonize all his followers.
Niira Radia: Yes, correct.
19
00:04:09,567 --> 00:04:21,600
Kanimozhi: But actually one thing is you can tell them also, even if they are not happy, you can do exactly what Lalu did. You can get a good MOS under him, who will answer [Indiscernible] he has to deal with, he will answer.
20
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:31,328
Niira Radia: Correct. Absolutely, absolutely. Yeah, yeah. I don't think they have a problem with him, by the way. They don't have a problem with Alagiri. Congress has no problem with him.
21
00:04:31,328 --> 00:04:46,944
(Indiscernible)
Kanimozhi: Hello? No, no, so that is a problem. But this guy is the one who wants Telecom and he is spreading rumors, but I don't think even the DMK is interested in giving him Telecom.
22
00:04:46,944 --> 00:04:54,111
Niira Radia: I don't think so.
Kanimozhi: Because we've got our own channel and then it will go against us also.
23
00:04:54,111 --> 00:05:10,496
Niira Radia: But look, Kanni, you need to [Indiscernible] [0:04:55.1] deal with his last mile later on, but we really have to deal with that whole issue because of his blackmail to the other channels, which is the only reason he has been able to do what he is, confusion he is able to create. But you have a meeting in the afternoon, is it?
24
00:05:10,496 --> 00:05:33,791
Kanimozhi: No, nothing like that. But then whoever is going to come to take over communication, they should come, go. I mean, I think the government should insist on going in a big way about the Dish An- Dish TV, no? Or whatever, or to make sure the entire cable network is open to everybody.
25
00:05:33,791 --> 00:05:50,175
Niira Radia: No, we're doing that. We are going to work on the policy on, we're going to certainly lobby for it. That the last mile has to be dismissed, we're very, everyone is fed up, all the channels are fed up. I'll tell you that. We're starting that process. We're not - even we all go together on that issue.
26
00:05:50,175 --> 00:05:55,552
Kanimozhi: Not just in Tamil Nadu, all over the country...
Niira Radia: All over the country. Because you have to be fair, you have to be equitable to everyone.
27
00:05:55,552 --> 00:06:11,679
Kanimozhi: Exactly. I mean, nobody should have this kind of a stranglehold on, anybody for that matter.
Niira Radia: That's right, that's right. I mean, what Jayalalitha had done against him was the right thing. She had taken it into the State. That was the right thing. But Kanni, your father hasn't decided who the MSB [Phonetic] [0:06:08.5] is going to be, right, for negotiations?
28
00:06:11,679 --> 00:06:16,799
Kanimozhi: I think they will decide today.
Niira Radia: They will decide today.

31
00:07:04,928 --> 00:07:25,578
Kanimozhi: I think - today, I think it will get sorted out. So better keep it, because I am worried one extra word this way, that way will completely go...
