V: The reporter is called to his office inside the flat.
V: You can see from the camera how Kushwaha accepted Rs. 10,000 and as per the deal struck earlier, asked to send the cheque of the balance amount.
Reporter (R): ...didn't accept the entire amount and took only Rs. 10,000, saying that he thinks there is a requirement for cash...

V: In the meeting, MP Kushwaha also mentioned that instead of contacting several MPs, all the work can be done through him.
MP: There is no need for submitting several questions. Just give it to me.
MP: We have 19 MPs from Bahujan Samaj Party. We will make the reliable ones talk about it, including myself.
I will ask the questions too. We ask questions as per the money paid. I hope you are not taping it.
Don't try to dupe me,
line bohot lambi hai hamari. We have to work for the poor. So...
V: As the conversation progressed, Narendra Kushwaha said that to bring up questions for so many years, he will charge Rs. 5 lakh.
MP: For this year, I asked him to pay up Rs. 5 lakhs.
Navratan (N): 5 lakhs? Okay, can we do this by cheque?
MP: No.
MP: I will speak factually; and listen, MPs and others don't accumulate a lot of money.
V: At the onset, Kushwaha refused to take money but by the end, he was ready to accept the money for asking questions in the Lok Sabha in the name of his personal secretary, Ajay.
