2G Scam-Pawar Controls DB Realty,Radia.
Lalith Modi is somewhere lurking.
NEW DELHI: Corporate lobbyist Niira Radiahas told the CBI that Union agriculture minister Sharad Pawar may be controlling the controversial DB Realty and may have pursued the issue of spectrum and licence forSwan Telecom with former telecom minister A Raja.
In a statement to CBI, which has been filed as part of the chargesheet in the 2G scam, Radia says on being asked by a journalist how she knew about Pawar lobbying with Raja to get approvals for Swan, “That as per the general perception in Mumbai as well as outside DB Realties (sic) directly or indirectly (is) controlled by Sharad Pawar and his family members.”
Radia added that she had no “documentary proof or some other evidence” to back up her allegation. She, however, said Shahid Balwa and Vinod Goenka “are key persons in DB Realty”, and “in that background, I had quoted the name of Sharad Pawar who might have pursued the matter with Raja, then telecom minister, for showing (favour) to Swan as well as to Anil Ambani Reliance Communications in issuing of UAS (unified access service) licence and dual technology”.
Pawar has in the past denied having anything to do with the DB Realty group although Goenka has said that he has family links with the Maratha leader. Goenka`s Dynamix group has a large presence in Baramati, Pawar`s constituency.
Radia gave four separate statements to CBI, most of them dealing with the several phone conversations she had with various people including Ratan Tata, A Raja, Raja`s personal secretary R K Chandolia, several journalists and senior executives from various corporate houses. The conversations and her explanations before the investigation agency illustrates her proximity to Raja, Chandolia and many others.
The lobbyist also told CBI that former IAS officers Pradeep Baijal and C M Vasudev were given “sweat equity” of 10% each in her consulting firm. Baijal was TRAI chairman until March 2006, while Vasudev held several crucial posts in the finance ministry.

How did Niira Radia become powerful?Conversation with Tata.
The first India assignment for Nira Radia, who was fascinated byairplanes, was to smoothen the entry of Singapore Airlines to India in 1990s.
That project failed to take off, but it introduced her to two important personalities — then aviation minister Ananth Kumar and Ratan Tata, chairman of the Tata group, which was to be Singapore Airlines’ Indian partner.
Never the one to be put down, Radia created ripples in the aviation ministry in 2000 when she applied for a license to start an airline under her own firm with a capitalisation of all of Rs1 lakh. Ananth Kumar was the aviation minister at that time. But it was a controversial project and her application was rejected. Later, Kumar was moved out of the civil aviation ministry.
However, it was her second meeting with Ratan Tata that became her a biggest stepping stone as a businesswoman. Tata was so impressed with her that he appointed her to manage the corporate communications of the Tata group — leading to the birth of Vaishnavi Corporate Communications in 2001. For many years, Vaishnavi’s main client remained the Tata group, so much so that that it was mistaken for being a Tata firm.
Radia, who grew up in Kenya and holds a British passport, transformed her prized catch into a magic wand that opened bigger doors. Soon, she had a client list that comprised 50 big companies. Then, she had the most powerful industrial baron in India, Mukesh Ambani, in her kitty, who was looking for some kind of assistance in media management in 2008-09.
In between, she also allegedly got involved with the issue of new 2Glicenses in 2008, partly because her own client — Tata Teleservices — stood to gain or lose from how the licenses were issued.

Tata, a part of the Government?
Image via Wikipedia Promoting an individual to be a Minister,blocking an elected candidate to become a cabinet Minister,threatening through lobbyist a Minister, if he grants Licence to a competitor,attempt to benefit from a land scam,planting stories in the Media,control of Media funds and with holding it,donating (? )Hospital Equipment…
all this ‘official secrets’?
Since when Tata did become part of the Government?
( or he is?)
On the same logic, even Terrorists can claim to privacy as it involves destabilization of the Government?
The Court has replied suitably, ad hoc, though.
Let’s see.
Tata group chief Ratan Tata argued before the Supreme Court on Thursday that telephone intercepts by law enforcement agencies, including the Niira Radia tapes, were part of official secrets and their leakage and unauthorized use by media was punishable under the Official Secrets Act.
The Bench said: “The court will attempt and try a balance between right to privacy, right to interception and right of public to know.”
