Chautala back, claims bag full of FDI promises

but also helped grasp a sackful of offers for more foreign investments here,’’ said Krishna Mohan, director of public relations.

While the details of the FDIs have not been announced yet, sources said Chautala has signed an MoU with an Italian firm, Alberto Bertuzzi, and Radha Agro Wax to set up a Rs 12-crore tomato paste unit at Food Park, in Ambala. The proposed unit would produce 200 tonnes of tomato paste a day.

Chautala has got honorary citizenship of Dallas. The Danish Trade Council has assured trade ties and the Confederation of Danish Industry exploratory missions.

What’s more, the visit has good news for students too, as the San Jose State University has agreed to explore the possibilities of mutual cooperation in the field of education.

‘‘NRIs will set up units to give trade and industry a new dimension in Haryana,’’ said Mohan.

On charges that he goes abroad to deposit money in foreign accounts, Chautala said: ‘‘Let them tell my account numbers, keep 90 per cent of the balance and give me the remaining.”

According to sources, Chautala had claimed to have attracted Rs 3,000-crore worth investments after his last two visits. But later, none of these projects materialised.
