"The state should have got more assistance from the Centre but probably, there is a lack of coordination and the chief minister is responsible for that. States like Gujarat and Maharashtra are getting much assistance from the Centre," he told PTI.
He said that small and local investors were neglected in the summit, which was focused on big industries and companies, while alleging that expenditure on the summit was not transparent.
The former Union minister also targeted the state government on the law and order issue, saying that it was the failure of the state government that notorious criminals managed to escape from a police van in "filmy style" but police department could not trace them.
Cases of atrocities on Dalits and heinous crime also increased under BJP rule due to which there is a feeling of insecurity among people and the chief minister is responsible for it, he alleged.
