Cong. seeks white paper on CM's foreign visits

By Our Special Correspondent

HYDERABAD May 17. The AP Congress Committee has demanded a white paper on the expenditure incurred on the number of foreign trips and helicopter rides made by the Chief Minister, N. Chandrababu Naidu, during the last seven years.

Addressing a press conference here on Friday, V. Sarada, spokesperson of the APCC, said people had a right to know how their money paid as taxes, was utilised by the Government and its outcome. The party's information was that the State failed to get investments even for a single project, the much-touted Proton car proposal included, from all visits made by Mr. Naidu, at the State's expense.

Similar was the case with his heli-hops across the State. With most of his visits being airborne, the Chief Minister had lost touch with people and problems remain where they were. It was time that the Government took stock of these unproductive flying visits and make the details public, through a white paper.
