However, the Leader of the Opposition, Umang Singhar, voiced concerns about the motives and transparency surrounding CM Yadav's foreign trip.
He pointed out that in the last 20 months, the Chief Minister has undertaken four international trips, including visits to London, Germany, and Japan.
Comparing this to former Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan, Singhar expressed skepticism, noting that while numerous international tours were claimed to promote investment, specific outcomes were never disclosed.
According to LoP Singhar, genuine investment is not secured through mere invitations or summits but rather through trust and credibility.
