Kolkata, February 10: Tata Group Chairman Ratan Tata has said that power and wealth are not his two main stakes and ruled out joining politics after his retirement in 2012.
“I will certainly not join politics. I would like to be remembered as a clean businessman who has not partaken in any twists and turns beneath the surface, and one who has been reasonably successful,” Tata said in an interview to Fortune India magazine.
“Power and wealth are not two of my main stakes,” the chief of the USD 72,000 billion conglomerate said.
Talking about the leaking of tapes containing his conversation with corporate lobbyist Niira Radia, Tata said, “It’s difficult, but more than that, it’s hurtful.”
“In the US, the NSA and the FBI do not hand out those conversations so that a mayor talking to his mistress has his marital problems aired.
