(Phone rings)
Radia: Hello PAA: Hello, is it Neera?
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...
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..
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?
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.
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.
PAA: It's so cut-throat and nobody is your friend and nobody is your enemy. Radia: Correct PAA: What did she say?
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..
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..
PAA: ...how is Sachin? He's ok? Radia: He's good.
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.
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.
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..
Radia: Let her come to Delhi on Monday. Let me talk to her. PAA: Hmm..
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.
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.
PAA: You think so? Radia: I don't think he's got the make up to do that.
PAA: No, no you are underestimating him. Niira: Think about it. PAA: They are all cut-throat politicians yaar!
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.
Radia: I am telling you. Tell her to remain friends with him. Trust me.
PAA: When I come there na 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. (Tape ends)
