Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani met Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy at the latter’s residence here on Saturday, a CMO release said.
Accompanied by his son Ananth Ambani and Rajya Sabha member Parimal Nathwani, Mukesh Ambani held a closed-door meeting for two hours with the Chief Minister. They held discussions regarding industries, investments and Reliance group collaboration with government programmes in education and health sectors in the state, the release added.
YSRCP MP Vijayasai Reddy had welcomed the Ambani’s at Gannavaran airport who arrived on a special flight and later Jagan Mohan Reddy received them at his residence in Tadepalli. Mukesh Ambani and his son Ananth Ambani have congratulated Jagan Mohan Reddy for his victory in the recent elections.
Nathwani is due to retire as Rajya Sabha member from Jharkhand on April 9 at the end of a second consecutive term as an Independent. Though sources say business proposals related to Reliance Industries’ proposed ventures in the state were discussed, Nathwani’s presence has given rise to speculation that the meeting could have been more political. The polls for four Rajya Sabha seats from Andhra Pradesh, which has 11 seats in the Upper House, are scheduled for March 26.
