In the backdrop of the success of the Vibrant Gujarat Summit, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley Tuesday expressed the hope that states would pursue business-friendly policies and compete with each other to attract investments.
States "are going to compete with each other in cornering investment. I have no doubt that the ones which consistently and uniformly pursue reforms and business-friendly policies are likely to succeed", he wrote in his Facebook post titled "A Tale of Two Global Summits".
Lauding the efforts of West Bengal to attract investments, Jaitley said the Centre would extend all support to the Trinamool Congress government to promote industry and boost growth in the state.
"We, in the central government, would be extremely keen to help West Bengal to grow," he said.
