Vijay’s London investment trip: AIADMK jabs, ‘Why travel to UK for MoU with Noida-based company?’
CM Vijay’s high-profile UK itinerary, which included a visit to the Silverstone motor racing circuit in England where he met actor and racer Ajit Kumar, drew sharp criticism from opposition parties, which questioned whether the trip was primarily aimed at securing investments for the state.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay faced criticism from the AIADMK over his recent trip to London for investment promotion. The opposition party questioned the need for such an overseas visit at taxpayer expense, pointing out that a company based in Noida was among the businesses involved. Vijay defended his trip, highlighting a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed with Samvardhana Motherson International Ltd for an investment of approximately ₹11,000 crore in the state.
This investment, along with others totaling over ₹12,300 crore, is expected to create thousands of high-value jobs across sectors such as design, engineering, manufacturing, assembly, and logistics.
