"She should have taken the MoS, but she had her own views. Kani must learn to look after herself. This is politics and it is very cut throat, nobody is your friend, nobody is your enemy.

Trust me, it"s very important for them to remains friends," said Nira Radia

In another tape, Radia said that PM Manmohan Sigh was forced to give Telecom portfolio to A Raja in the UPA-II government due to the pressure from Karunanidhi. She said DMK chief wanted A Raja as a minister because he is a Dalit.

He will behave himself. Trust me, he will behave himself....I have promised, Raja has promised that he will speak to Mittal and deal with the matter. Leave that to me."
