Vir Sanghvi: Hi Niira Radia.
Niira Radia: Vir, just one thing, you know, explain to him…
Vir Sanghvi: Yeah.
Niira Radia: …that when they send their list of five cabinet ministers, they had sent Maran for Railways…
Vir Sanghvi: Okay.
Niira Radia: They had send Surface Transportation for Balu…
Vir Sanghvi: Okay.
Niira Radia: …Telecom for Raja.
Vir Sanghvi: Okay.
Niira Radia: …Health for Kanni…
Vir Sanghvi: Okay.
Niira Radia: …Power for Balu, Power for Balu.
Vir Sanghvi: Okay.
Niira Radia: And Surface for Azhagiri…
Vir Sanghvi: Okay.
Niira Radia: …knowing because, because Karunanidhi was under pressure from his family…
Vir Sanghvi: Yeah.
Niira Radia: …knowing Power and Railways would never be accepted.
Vir Sanghvi: That’s right.
Niira Radia: Both people would have been dropped.
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…
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.
Vir Sanghvi: That’s right. Yeah, yeah. So, basically its Maran know?
Niira Radia: Yeah. So, the moment you drop him you solved your problem.
Vir Sanghvi: Who was he dealing with?
Niira Radia: They are dealing with Maran, Congress is talking to Maran.
Vir Sanghvi: No. But who in the Congress?
Niira Radia: I believe various people, I know he is in touch with Ahmed Patel, he is in touch with Ghulam Nabi Azad.
Vir Sanghvi: Okay.
Niira Radia: But Ghulam Nabi Azad doesn’t like him.
Vir Sanghvi: No. Even Ahmed doesn’t like him. Nobody likes him.
Niira Radia: So – yeah, but I think we just need to – seriously there is only one route, talk to the daughter she will take you to him…
