Niira Radia is a lobbyist with extraordinary access to all corridors of power she represents both the Tata and the Mukesh Ambani group, some of the telephone conversations were leaked due to Rajas telecom scam u can read them in outlook, this is my reaction
The thought that networks of lobbyists and power brokers actually dictate how this country is run is deeply disturbing.
I thought that the arms dealers lobby in Delhi is the most powerful and corrupt but they are “bacchas” compared to Chambers of Commerce india which is a lobby for Resource grabbing crony corporations , Sonia Gandhis power has taken the term “murky dealings” to whole new level.
From the start I thought Monmohan Singhs Personal “integrity” is a myth created by UPA, this proves it. ( he didn’t attend the funeral of his mentor PV narsimha rao, he shamelessly criticized SC advise to distribute the food to poor rather than let it rot, Arundhati roy made similar observations)
Monmohan singh is like a “rubber stamp” without ink..
Anil ambani is in massive debt, is desperately looking for funds from foreign players and now is a virtual pariah in the corporate world.

All the major media houses(the times,india today,etc) are slaves to corporate interests because of the advertising revenues . When the media goes against their interest they simply withdraw advertising the media will rather die than let that happen.
( When Noam Chomsky said that indian media is restricted and narrow and that Pakistani Media is more vibrant I didn’t believe it)
Tata is said to be crème dela crème of Corporate India when it comes to “corporate social responsibility” , he recently whined in press that he was morally outraged when some aviation minister demanded a bribe for starting a new airline, but the leaked transcripts of his conversations with his lobbyist s show the moral degeneration of Corporate India and its predatory impulses towards indias resources( Niira Radia is indirectly talking about a Jaguar car she is about to receive from RT in one of the tapes)
Think Sonia Gandhi is running the Country like its her own Mafia territory( may be she learned some tricks from her home Italy), she is the “godmother”, the concigliere is Ahmed patel, the capos are Gulab name azad and a bunch of loyal foot soldiers are running the country.
It is thought that India looses RS 10 lakh crore every year to corruption and tax evasion, and Indias black economy is 40% of the whole. Don’t know why intellectuals are keeping quiet when our democracy is turned into a Dynasty for the Gandhi family.
