The TN BJP Chief Annamalai has been releasing a series of audio recordings of conversations between DMK top brass and the ex-TN intelligence chief Jaffar Sait. The latest audio clip is the third in the series, released this evening. The audio clip features the conversation between DMK MP A. Raja and Jaffar Sait. In this clip, the discussion revolves around how the CBI enquiry with A. Raja went and how he successfully thwarted the questions from them. A. Raja also elaborates about the payments he made to the party for different purposes and different people. The conversation clarifies it that the then CM was also aware about the investigations and was updated every day by Jaffar Sait on the progress. The transcript of the conversation is given below.

A. Raja: Hello

Jaffar Sait: Sir vanakkam, how did it go sir?

A. Raja: It is done sir

JS: How did it go today, sir?

A. Raja: They asked about the diary, I told an alternative theory for that. 

JS: OK sir

A. Raja: I took three documents along with me. They were upset upon seeing it. 

JS: What documents, sir?

A. Raja: We opened an account in Canara bank in the name of the district DMK. We have dealt up to ₹1 Crore (in that account)

JS: OK sir

A. Raja: From 2003 to 2008

JS: OK sir

A. Raja: Similarly, I have bills in the name of “Murasoli” for ₹ 70 to 80 lacs. Also, I gave one-page advertisement for ‘thalaivar’s’ birthday

JS: OK sir

A. Raja: For that, I had paid ₹1 crore in one payment as liquid cash

JS: OK sir

A. Raja: I have these three to show that through bank account or cash dealings I have collected money from either the public or people I know and given it to the district units… I have it as liquid cash as well as bank deposits. So that they can draw identical inference for the diaries…. I have done these transactions with EV Velu, Geetha Jeevan, Ponmudi, Velu….it was told that it was given to Ponmudi for Villupuram rally…Villupuram, EV Velu then KC Palanisamy (inaudible)…

JS: Oh, OK sir, OK sir

A. Raja: So, maximum it has been done for the party, either I would have given it in advance or given it after they had made expenses…but in one place it is mentioned as Trichy rally… It would be mentioned as Trichy conference…the entries in the entire page are for Trichy conference… I am one of the co-district secretaries for the conference…

JS: OK sir

A. Raja: There are 3 or 4 documents for the alternative theory….they know the diary is not relevant, but they wanted to demoralise me by making it relevant…

JS: OK sir

A. Raja: (inaudible)…like that

JS: OK sir

A. Raja: That is over. I had explained the first come first serve policy. I had told them about the 2001 auction rate. At some place in Delhi, they said (spectrum) should have been given to Tata, but you did not give to Tata (inaudible). Only in that place there was a little hiccup. 

JS: Yesterday, you said something like Tata did not want it, sir….

A. Raja: What I am saying is they did not press me, but they didn’t want it, and they asked me to put on hold. What they are saying is, even if Tata asked you to put on hold, why didn’t you do your job?

JS: Which year was it given, sir?

A. Raja: It was given in 2008 sir (inaudible) but he (Tata) didn’t insist it, but he went to another plan, then he changed it. What am I supposed to say?

JS: CM asked this morning. I told him everything went well, I told him whatever you told me. He asked about today. I said they have gone today, and we can finish it by forenoon. I will talk to him now. 

A. Raja: (inaudible) you are on a different cell(phone) right?

JS: I will come sir, I will call you back. 

Although the audio clips have shocked many, DMK and the Tamil mainstream media seem to be unperturbed. DMK has not commented anything about the audio clips and avoids the topic when reporters ask about it. Without condoning or condemning, the party members are maintaining a Stoic silence which they seem to have mastered over the years. The links to tapes 1 and 2 are given below.
