Karan Thapar: You are very close families?
Rahul Bajaj: I think so, whether they think so or not I don't know to be fair
to them, because they have a reason to be unhappy that I have come to the Rajya
Sabha.
Karan Thapar: Have you today damaged that relationship with the Congress party
and more importantly with the Gandhi family?
Rahul Bajaj: The answer is categorical on my part. No.
Karan Thapar: What about Sonia Gandhi's part?
Rahul Bajaj: Ask her. If a relationship of 70 years can be spoilt by such an
action, that relationship is not worth having.
Karan Thapar: In other words if Sonia Gandhi has turned against you because of
this, then it is not worth having a relationship with Sonia Gandhi. That's what
you are saying?
Rahul Bajaj: That's what you are saying.
Karan Thapar: That's what you said.
Rahul Bajaj: I didn't say that. I said if a 70-year relationship with anybody
can be lost because of an incident like this, then that relationship was not
worth it and my relationship as you said is from the time of Gandhi, Nehru,
Indiraji, Rajivji and now Soniaji.
Karan Thapar: But is it now a relationship in the past tense? Have you damaged
it?
Rahul Bajaj: I have not at all damaged it. I think it will be better for the
Congress and let's check with Soniaji.
Karan Thapar: Well that's your privilege and prerogative, I am afraid I don't
have access to her.
Rahul Bajaj: You don't? What a shame, Karan.
Karan Thapar: Mr Bajaj now that you are an MP, explain to me how a man who is
worth some Rs 420 crore can believe that he is the right representative for the
people of Maharashtra?
Rahul Bajaj: I don't like this word Rs 420 crore. The figure is Rs 419 crore
and including my wife it is Rs 473 crore. My children and brothers are not
included.
Karan Thapar: Alright not Rs 420 crore. You are associating all sorts of
mischief with the word Rs 419 crore.
Rahul Bajaj: Rs 419 crore is a much better word.
Karan Thapar:How do you represent the people of Maharashtra when you are so
rich?
Rahul Bajaj: To me whether you represent Maharashtra or India or an industry,
in general because as I said earlier, I will not represent two and three
wheeler industries.
Karan Thapar: You are an MP from Maharashtra whether you like it or not?
Rahul Bajaj: Hundred per cent.
Karan Thapar: Your first duty is to represent the state. How can you claim to
represent the poor of Maharashtra when you are yourself worth Rs 419 crore and
that's what you admitted to? God knows how much more your worth but you haven't
admitted.
Rahul Bajaj: I don't have anything unofficial. I don't own a penny, which is
unofficial.
Karan Thapar: How do you understand the poverty, the farmer suicides and about
the children dying of malnutrition, which afflict this state?
