What is happening in great Reliance Empire?


The Prime Minister invited both the Ambani brothers to come for the Industrialists’ meet on Monday, the elder one came and the younger one stayed away.

Mukesh Ambani’s old warhorse Balu (V. Balasubramanium) was seen prominently accompanying his chief in the pictures published in a few papers. Whatever happened to Shankar Adwal? According to a spade of rumors disseminated last week, Shankar’s team is being dismantled, cars & expenses withdrawn and he was being confined to do corporate work in Punjab & Haryana.

Delhi whispers learns that Mukesh Ambani has posted Adwal’s old bete noir Samir Saran at the Observer Research Foundation as a fellow and given him the portfolio of media and government relations working with Nira Radia & associates.
Samir Saran, it may be recalled had caught the attention of the Intelligence Bureau sometime ago, when they tapped the phones of some Supreme Court fixers, who were suspected to be laundering money for the Muslim underworld .

The subsidiary Intelligence Bureau had twice interrogated Samir Saran in this connection.

A full scale war has erupted between Saran and Adawal and Mukesh Ambani has apparently decided to back Saran. Meanwhile a huge fancy office, costing several crores, has been setup in Gopal Dass Bhawan for Najeeb Jung, the foreign returned lobbyist for the group. He is supposed to supervise Nira Radia’s day to day activities.

this is typical of the wheeling dealing that happens in big companies. the best part is that even 'fixers' who are nailed by the authorities are mysteriously rehabilitated and turn up again in a few years. this happens only in india!
