There is no reason at all for Indian taxpayers to pay for chief ministers to go to Davos every year. AdvertisementWe could use the money spent on chief ministerial holidays in Davos to clean up our cities and improve the toxic air we are forced to breathe. But it was these that our chief ministers came armed with, clearly written by bureaucrats who never learned the word precis. Chandrababu Naidu is one of them and was one of the first chief ministers to come to Davos and understand how he could benefit from attending. It was not a good look for India, and it is not a good look for India now when our chief ministers go to Davos mostly to meet other Indians.
