Talking to reporters at the luncheon meeting organised by the Federation of Indo American, Mr Chautala complimented Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee for having evolved a consensus on the name of National Democratic Alliance presidential candidate A P J Abdul Kalam. Giving a detailed perspective of Haryana, which was emerging as the favoured destination in India for setting up industries in the thrust areas of automobile and auto components, information technology, electronics, telecommunications, agro and food processing, handloom and textiles and other export-oriented units, the Chief Minister said the state offered one of the fastest ‘’conceptualisation to actualisation’’ system in the country. The focus of the state government was to provide a clean and transparent time schedule to the prospective investors, he said. The state government was conscious to remove any roadblocks in developing partnership with investors and steps had already been taken to streamline clearances.
