Top industry heads invited for Naidu's swearing-in
HYDERABAD: Even as YSRC has begun attacking TDP's efforts to organise the swearing- in ceremony of N Chandrababu Naidu as the first chief minister of Seemandhra on a grand scale, the yellow party leadership has sent invitations not only to national leaders but also to several top industrialists across the country for the oath-taking ceremony of Naidu, scheduled to take place on June 8 in Guntur district.
According to TDP sources, Naidu has sent invitations to business tycoons in the country which include Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) chairman Mukesh Ambani along with his brother Anil Ambani, chairman of Reliance Group, Wipro chairman Azim Premji, NR Narayana Murthy of Infosys, and Gautam Adani of Adani Group, Cyrus Pallonji Mistry, chairman of Tata Group and Anand Mahindra, chairman of Mahindra & Mahindra.
The TDP has also invited several business honchos from the state. TDP leaders say that the intention behind inviting the top industrialists to Naidu's swearing-in is to introduce AP state to the captains of industry for attracting investments to the residuary AP.
''By attending the oath taking function of Naidu, the top businessmen can have the first hand feel of Vijayawada and Guntur, which have substantial infrastructure apart from being located on the Golden Quadrilateral, a highway network connecting many of the major centres of the country.
These two cities are centrally located and are well connected with all modes of transport such as air, rail, road and water,' said party senior JR Pushpa Raj.
According to him, elaborate arrangements are being made for the swearing-in ceremony of Naidu as nearly five lakh people are expected for the event.
Meanwhile, YSRC MLA G Srikanth Reddy wondered how Naidu, who had recently asked the people of Seemandhra to donate money generously for the construction of new capital, could organise his swearing-in function on such large scale by spending crores of rupees.
''Is it appropriate for Naidu to spend such an amount for his swearing-in ceremony by hiring special flights and helicopters for the guests to this function, when Seemandhra is facing a huge revenue deficit?' Reddy questioned.
