Speaking about the Davos summit, he said some foreign companies, instead of making a direct investment, prefer to go in for joint ventures.

"Hence many industrialists at the Davos conference are from India. But it will be foreign investment," he added.

The chief minister questioned the status of MoUs signed by the previous (MVA) government.
