Visakhapatnam (Andhra Pradesh) [India], January 28 (ANI): After his visit to Davos to attract investments in the state by showcasing its favourable business environment, Andhra Pradesh Minister Nara Lokesh said that it was a great trip that was focused on building a reputation of the state.
“Davos was a great trip. It was all about building a reputation of Andhra Pradesh because it was present for only 1 out of 5 years whereas other states were present for all 5 years… A lot of people asked me if I could guarantee that Jagan Mohan Reddy would not win again, because of him, they were unable to invest and faced a lot of harassment.
