NEW DELHI: Union Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal on Tuesday met Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai in New Delhi where the two discussed ways to attract industries and investments to the state across various sectors, which will pave way for India to emerge as a global hub of commerce.
The Union minister held talks with the CM in the presence of state Water Resources Minister Govind M Karjol and Additional Chief Secretary to the Water Resources department, Rakesh Singh.
Bommai is also likely to meet BJP national president J P Nadda during his Delhi stay. According to reports, the CM is likely to hold discussions on Cabinet expansion during talks with the BJP top brass in the national capital.
Goyal, during an awards ceremony on Monday, where artisans and handloom workers were honoured, said the country’s handicraft exports has been rising steadily and were far superior than any machine-made products.
The Union minister said that with India all set to assume presidency of the G20 on December 1, there will be ample opportunities to display the country’s rich heritage and handicraft and handloom industry to dignitaries who are due to arrive from overseas for meetings pertaining to the grouping.
