Rajneet Surjewala, Cabinet Minister of Haryana Legislature is not worried about auto major like Maruti moving to Gujarat from Haryana.
In an interview to CNBC-TV18 Surjewala said, "Maruti is going there as a part of their own business plan to export cars. They are next to a port which is fair. I am nobody to decide upon Maruti’s business plan. But they are also making investment of Rs 10,000 crore in Haryana."
Surjewala has a unique distinction of being the youngest ever senator of the Punjab University. He has served as the national president of the Youth wing of the Indian National Congress. Today he is one of the youngest ministers in the Haryana Cabinet.
Below is the edited transcript of Surjewala's interview with CNBC-TV18. Also watch the accompanying video.
Q: How can you deliver if you have got about 9 different ministries under your watch?
A: These are issues that all of us always find manageable. You have to give extra time and be ready to work on all weekends. You have to be able to slog after office hours and it is doable.
Q: How worried are you about Narendra Modi and Gujarat because they are trying to get all of the business that is currently in Haryana to move to Gujarat?
A: Not at all. Maruti is going there as a part of their own business plan to export cars. They are next to a port which is fair. I am nobody to decide upon Maruti’s business plan. But they are also making investment of Rs 10,000 crore in Haryana. Having said that some of the auto manufacturers also came to Haryana and we took a call to send them back to Gujarat. There was a reason for it.
Here is a state which gives land at rupee per acre, waives value added tax which is the principle main stay of running your state for 25 years. It waives all registration and local municipal taxes. What does the state of Gujarat gain? I asked that question to myself and I could not answer that. I am sure Modi would have an answer to that. At least the state of Haryana could not offer the kind of incentives.
Land is an extremely precious commodity. I run my state on Rs 8,000 crore of VAT that accrue to me. I run my state from the registration charges and local municipal corporation taxes. We cannot possible waive everything in our quest to build an individuals leadership.....back
