Re: 14 people die of shock after Rajsekhar reddy's (India AP CM) death
He certainly was a canny politician and knew how to bring in jobs for his electorate. One of my uncles works in a major multinational corporation that outsourced work to Hyderabad. He was part of the team that went to investigate if it would be a good location to do business in.
Reddy went to the airport himself to meet the 3 executives from the multinational company, gave them red carpet treatment as though they were ambassadors, and toured around the potential bidders for the work with them over the next 2 days. By the time they left they were certain they would get full support from the local government for their business and ended up giving the contract to a firm there.
My uncle later spoke to 2 other executives from the same company who had gone to Pakistan around the same time to look at outsourcing similar work to there. There was no-one from government to meet them at the airport, the minister they were supposed to meet with the next morning didn't show up and instead sent an aide who showed up late, and they received several other snubs that left them feeling local government would not be that supportive, so they left early.
