Naidu's Secret Tour To Singapore!

AP Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu who is currently touring Davos in Switzerland to attend World Economic Forum meeting, has scheduled a 'secret tour' to Singapore.

As per official schedule released by Chief Minister's Office, there is no scheduled visit of Naidu to Singapore.

However, Naidu has now decided to fly directly to Singapore from Davos on January 24.

His sudden decision to visit Singapore surprised TDP leaders, ministers and senior officials of AP government.

TDP sources said Naidu is visiting Singapore to strike a deal with Singapore companies on constructing new capital Amaravati.

He is said to be lobbying with Singapore companies to award construction works to some contractors recommended by him.

Naidu also agreed to extend lease rights over government lands to Singapore companies for 99 years as demanded by them. Earlier, the lease limit was only 33 years but Singapore companies want lease period for 99 years.

Despite severe criticism from all quarters over surrendering to Singapore firms on lease issue, Naidu is said be in favour of extending the lease period and in return want certain benefits from Singapore companies for himself, TDP leaders and contractors, recommended by him and this secret tour to Singapore is aimed to achieve these goals.
