AP CM Chandrababu Naidu’s recent whirlwind tour in Bengaluru to attract the IT companies to the state, alerted the Karnataka government and its CM Siddaramaiah. But, he takes three days’ time to realize the damage.

Reacting on his tour, “I am against any competition between the states as it leads to an unhealthy competition. Chandrababu Naidu tried to lure our IT Companies to take away from us to his newly carved state, only because he is enjoying the support of central government. It is not good for anyone. So, I have asked the Centre not to encourage such practices as it is harmful to both states,” said CM Siddaramaiah.

CM Siddaramaiah has cleared three long pending IT projects worth Rs.1000 crore in one go on Thursday. Later, he convened a meeting with his IT and BT department top officials and told them he will not spare anyone, if delay takes place in clearing the files and resolving the problems reported by IT Companies in the city. He gave them three months’ time to provide the necessary infrastructure and facilities asked by the IT Companies that are waiting to set up their shops in and around the city. He warned the officials not to let down the high-tech brand image of Bengaluru city.
