(Telephone conversation between telecom minister A. Raja and lobbyist Niira Radia.)
RAJA: One to one. Somebody should give a message, at least in a sealed cover, that we are having serious problems [with] Baalu.
RADIA: From Congress, right?
RAJA: Yes.
RADIA: Okay, I’ll tell her. She is talking to Ahmed Patel, so I will talk to him.
RAJA: Let him call at least over phone: Sir, this is problem… we are having high regard [sic], we are having no problem with Raja, but problem is Baalu. Tell.
RADIA: Then how will you resolve the other problem?
RAJA: Other problems we will take care of slowly, because now Leader comes down.
…
RAJA: Hmm. Tell Sunil Mittal, you have to work along with Raja for another five years. So, don’t…
RADIA: I told him that. I told him that. But then you also have to distance yourself from Anil [Ambani]. You must be neutral.
RAJA: Ah, that we can keep.
