“Here, all we need are Ratan Tata’s own words at a gathering in Dehradun in November 2010: ‘We approached three prime ministers.

You know the minister wants Rs 15 crore. So why don’t you pay it?” I just said: “You can’t understand it. I just want to go to bed at night, knowing that I haven’t got the airline by paying for it.”
