Persistent Radia

More tapes involving journalists discussing portfolio allocations with Nira Radia have surfaced, this time on the Outlook website.  Radia calls Jehangir Pocha (now at NewsX) and Shankar Aiyar, then at India Today, and frets about what the Congress is saying or not saying about Raja.  Both make placatory noises, Pocha says, “ll tell them,”   in a fragment of conversation which is not particularly damning. Aiyar suggests in one of the tapes  that he has discussed portfolios for the DMK with a minister in the Congress, and passes on to her whatever he has learned. She also talks to Vir Sanghvi in another tape about what the Congress should or should not do vis a vis the DMK, and he says he has been meeting Rahul, but has not got to Sonia yet.
