CM Chandrababu made key comments on relations with Singapore. He recalled that the Singapore government came forward and helped us with the initiative we showed when the united Andhra Pradesh state was separated. He emphasized that the Singaporean government also helped in the same way.
He said that in the past, the Singaporean consortium had come forward to develop a startup area in the capital of Amaravati. But after the change of government, he deplored that the then CM Jaganmohan Reddy expelled the managers of that company. He flagged that the Jagan government had branded the managers of that company as corrupt.
Chandrababu said that they had also tried to file a case against the managers of the Singaporean consortium. Due to this, they expressed complete dissatisfaction with AP. He said that Jagan had spoiled all relations with Singapore. That is why CM Chandrababu suggested that we should restore our relations with them again. The CM reminded that the managers of the Singaporean consortium are saying that they will undertake any project except seed capital.
