RS, The same Chandrababu Naidu was rapped on the knuckle in the last AP Assembly election because of his failure to build infrastructure in his state.Hislaid too much emphasis on the development of IT industries that proved Waterloo in the election.He was routed badly owing to his wrong policy.
I am just beginning to write a short essay in relation to investment in Assam by the NRAs.This will have some reference to CM's visit to the USA.Your suggestion will be appreciated. KJD On 7/4/07, Ram Sarangapani <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I kind of agree with you. But somthing needs to be done. As you may already know, former Andhra Pradesh CM, Chandrababu Naidu was in Houston last week. He was fund-raising and reportedly collected a hugh sum, just in Houston (for his election bid - which in India goes to the millions of $ nowadays) He is also slated to visit NYC, DC etc and I think promised, a huge donation for Clinton's philanthrophy (he is a good friend of the Clintons). Naidu, is of course one of the few CMs who has made the "The South Asian of the Year" for Time Magazine and has been interviewed by Time and others too. It seems at Houston, there was a huge throng of people, and many big time, serious, investors standing in line to invest in AP. So what makes the difference? How can a former CM make such big waves? "During his visit he met a group of 75 investors and business people from the tri-state area - New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. " But, I am encouraged. This is one of the few times there seems to be a silver lining here. 75 investors from the tri-state area visiting with Gogoi. Now, if follow-up teams and NRAs can help capitalize on this - it will be wonderful. --Ram On 7/4/07, kamal deka <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Everything will be lost into oblivion as soon as Mr.Tarun Gogoi boards > the flight way back home.How many investors worth the name invested in > Assam after his last visit ?
