Niira Radia: They might have told some minion down the line or told Maran who is not relaying the truth.īarkha Dutt: I think they have told Maran.
So what has happened is, is that message not relayed to Karunanidhi? Niira Radia: No, they wanted to they didn’t want any infrastructure, that’s what Prime Minister said, so he said that’s why they give him labour, fertiliser, chemical-and telecom, IT, they said for Raja. Niira Radia: Relayed-no, they relayed that the infrastructure portfolio should not be given to Maran or Baalu.īarkha Dutt: No, that’s because they want to keep it for themselves. Niira Radia: Barkha, what I’m told is that the Congress yesterday, apparently, God knows who they are talking to in the DMK. Their feeback was coming from Maran to them. Niira Radia: The question of portfolios never came up. but the point was that the discussion never got around to the portfolios ever spoke to her again You see the thing is she agrees that it was an ill-thought out thing, and that they shouldn't ave sent the list the way they did. And we have not said anything about Maran. Niira Radia: Yeah? The choice of candidate we will leave to you. We’ve taken that off.…īarkha Dutt: Also, but, but the Congress needs to tell Karunanidhi that we have not said anything about Maran.īarkha Dutt: Okay. Niira Radia: But that’s not correct, naa?īarkha Dutt: No, I know. And Maran is telling everyone that he is the only acceptable person.īarkha Dutt: Person, yeah, yeah, yeah. Niira Radia: And Congress is sending messages through media and through various sources, saying that. But Alagiri is now telling her that you cannot take an independent charge if Maran remains cabinet minister. is that you tell them that they need to tell him directly that we are happy because Kani’s got no issue being about independent. Niira Radia: You see, you see my honest advice… The portfolios have not even got discussed.īarkha Dutt: Congress claims, for whatever it’s worth, that the DMK wanted surface transport, power, IT, telecom, railways and health.… I would imagine, he will drop him.īarkha Dutt: But you see the problem right now is also over the choice of portfolios, naa… Niira Radia: He… look, if you tell him that Baalu is the only problem. They need to go in and tell him exactly-the biggest problem is that the following of Alagiri is saying that you cannot give a cabinet and keep Alagiri in the MoS state.īarkha Dutt: That’s right. Niira Radia: So they have to tell him directly, there enough Congress leaders in Tamil Nadu. Niira Radia: Because you see, in front of Baalu, in front of Maran, they can’t talk.
They have very good relationship with Karunanidhi directly. Niira Radia: The problem is if the Congress has a problem with Baalu, if they have no problem with anyone. Niira Radia: I’ll tell you what it is-the problem and I have had a long chat with both his wife and with the daughter right… So now what? What should I tell t hem? Tell me what should I tell them? Niira Radia: Well, the media… media, the media was standing outside.īarkha Dutt: Oh God. He was told to come away and tell Congress that. Niira Radia: But that’s Baalu’s doing, naa… he was not instructed by Karunanidhi to do that. That is what the problem is.īarkha Dutt: Haan so, apparently PM’s really pissed off that they went public. Listen, the thing is that they need to talk to him directly. Headlines in burgundy are those audio conversations which have the transcripts.Transcripts of Niira Radia's conversation with Barkha Dutt, group editor of NDTVīarkha Dutt: No, no, no.
