Thanks to AP CM Chandrababu Naidu’s vast experience and his global contacts which helped him to make it to the World Economic Forum (WEF) meet in Davos of Switzerland that is scheduled for Jan 21-24. Naidu, during his previous stint as CM of united Andhra Pradesh between 1995 and 2004, was a regular participant in the summit and had moderated many sessions.
WEF President Klaus Schwab has specially invited Naidu along with Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. The two chief ministers are part of a high-level Indian delegation that includes Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and Power Minister Piyush Goyal. Chandrababu is a special guest at a session in WEF 2015 on ‘Future of Urban Development’ along with ministers from various countries and CEOs of major corporations.
He would be participating as a special guest at a session on ‘Japan, Vision for Tomorrow: Learning for Structural Challenges’ besides “Japan Night,” being hosted by the Japanese delegation. With Naidu all set to unveil his vision for the truncated state on the sidelines and prepared to meet the likes of World’s top CEOs and attract international investments, naturally team Telangana is a bit worried given that there is a severe competition between the new states.
Adding to this, Naidu has a special PR team working round the clock promoting “Brand Andhra Pradesh” and selling “Brand Chandrababu”. This in turn, certainly has affect on its neighbour state Telangana costing in projects like Hero, etc.
Union Minister Venkaiah Naidu’s recent comments in Vizag that “Hyderabad is the brand of Telangana and Chandrababu is the brand of AP” seems to be much relevant in the latest context and Naidu has proved it once again that his master skills are working in favour of the new state. At the same time, even Telangana is not so lagging behind AP and giving stiff competition.
Given that it’s in surplus budget and KCR, KTR have chalked out own plans to draw investments and even holding negotiations with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, Telangana has its own share of advantages. Political analysts too feel that healthy competition is good. Let’s wait and watch who will take over in development.
