The Suresh Kalmadi Chat

SURESH KALMADI (Mon Apr 7 20:33:40 1997 IST):

GS INDIA: Well he is a senior leader in the country and he has been a prime minister. And he was instrumental in installing DeveGowda after the last elections. So people feel that he may be pull out something from V P Singh's hat.

ravi (Mon Apr 7 20:33:41 1997 IST):

Mr. Kamladi, I believe that post election alliances should not be recognised only pre election alliances should. It breeds power brokering .I believe the former is a violation of the peoples mandate .. What do you think ?

Disgusted! (Mon Apr 7 20:34:34 1997 IST):

Then why are all the decisions and parleys taking place at her residence?

Anita Nair (Mon Apr 7 20:35:04 1997 IST):

Hello Mr Kalmadi: Its a pleasure to be here with you today, I'm so glad that I was able to make it to tonights chat, so Mr Kalmadi tell me what changes will the CONGRESS party make to India if it comes to power?

SURESH KALMADI (Mon Apr 7 20:35:33 1997 IST):

Imran: If the congress comes to power, I suppose it would be a similar budget with some changes. But people have said that this budget is a congress budget.

God Save India (Mon Apr 7 20:35:52 1997 IST):

What happens to Kesri if he loses his bid at PM-ship?

akbar road mog! (Mon Apr 7 20:35:59 1997 IST):

How can you and other 'politicians' of your type even begin to think that apart from nefarious deals you are relevant anymore? Are you aware that apart from the so-called suppressed class even the intelligensia now consider the Congress nothing but a last outpost of colonial power, and the great love all of you have for cleaning the horse manure within the stables at 10-Janpath is reducing you to no more than a laughing stock with even the most uneducated but otherwise emancipated Indian? When will you in the Congress get rid of this Nehru-Gandhi yoke, or is it too closely tied in with you Congress topiwallahs and your business ofrtunes, like property in Pune or newspapers like Asian Age????

Tarini (Mon Apr 7 20:36:15 1997 IST):

Will there be a split in the congress?

B Kannur (Mon Apr 7 20:36:39 1997 IST):

Are you pally with Pawar again? How come you made up? And why did you ditch him in the first place? Because Pee Wee promised you a ministerhip?

SURESH KALMADI (Mon Apr 7 20:37:43 1997 IST):

ANita: WEll, our first priority would be to continue full scale liberalisation programme initiated by Rao. The foreign investors have great faith in the congress party. AS it represents stability in the country.

akbar road mog! (Mon Apr 7 20:38:48 1997 IST):

A M DONALD (Mon Apr 7 20:39:21 1997 IST):

So all this is because of one man's hatred towards the other. After making all those high faluting noises about what a crappy outfit the UF was, you are now prepared to back them provided they kick Hardenhalli out. When are you guys going to have the guts to kill Chacha out?

Disgusted! (Mon Apr 7 20:39:36 1997 IST):

Yeah, pulling down governments in the Congress definition of stability? What say, Kalmadi? I think you should stick to organising Ganesh Ustavs in Pune. And never mind about all the animal rights violations that take place.

Anita Nair (Mon Apr 7 20:40:38 1997 IST):

Mr Kalmadi: Sir what are your future plans??

SURESH KALMADI (Mon Apr 7 20:40:55 1997 IST):

B Kumar: I have always been friendly with Mr pawar. And I have never ditched him. WE both want to rejuvenate the congress party and wish us luck.

Disgusted! (Mon Apr 7 20:41:29 1997 IST):

How come your mentor Sharad Pawar did not know what was happening? He is losing respect because of his constantly vaccilating stand? One day, he said he was stunned by what had happened ("Do you think I would have been in Pune if I knew what was happening?") and the next day he is licking Kesri's feet. What's happening with him?

Anita Nair (Mon Apr 7 20:41:59 1997 IST):

So Mr Kalmadi: THAT MEANS THAT YOU WILL NOT BE ALTERING MR CHIDAMBARAMS BUDGET

B Kannur (Mon Apr 7 20:42:15 1997 IST):

Mr Kalmadi: Thank you for your response. Just give us your prognosis of what will happen on Friday.

A M DONALD (Mon Apr 7 20:42:43 1997 IST):

You guys are going to vote along with the BJP on Friday?

SURESH KALMADI (Mon Apr 7 20:43:01 1997 IST):

EVERYONE: Thank you very much for your good questions. I am sorry that I have to rush for an urgent meeting. I wished to chat with you hours. But we will do later. Till then Good Bye. Thank You.

Disgusted! (Mon Apr 7 20:44:08 1997 IST):

Scardey cat!

Jaswant Srikantan (Mon Apr 7 20:44:25 1997 IST):

Where is he going? to Haus Khaz village?

Anita Nair (Mon Apr 7 20:45:21 1997 IST):

RUNNING MR KALMADI RUNNING ARE YOU AFRAID??

SURESH KALMADI (Mon Apr 7 20:46:07 1997 IST):

B Kumar: I have always been friendly with Mr pawar. And I have never ditched him. WE both want to rejuvenate the congress party and wish us luck.

akbar road mog! (Mon Apr 7 20:48:53 1997 IST):

A bit like coming in to bat, seeing the fast bowlers and conceding because of urgent meeting...probably meeting to discuss bhao-tao kee baatein? REDIFF:These politico types, please get a minimum time in from them, there is no meeting/sheeting in Delhi as of now they are all waiting for the doorbell to ring....

akbar road mog! (Mon Apr 7 20:51:50 1997 IST):

This is not the Congress that my pprevious generations told us about, for sure. Even Laloo Prasad Yadav stands up and puts up a fight. Pune valloh, enjoy....

akbar road mog! (Mon Apr 7 20:54:22 1997 IST):

gone to stables

brij (Mon Apr 7 21:56:46 1997 IST):

Does your congress party have any REAL solutions to KASHMIR, I don't mean useless ideas like you have been proposing upto now , or some good to talk plans. I mean real plan that will work
