Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Sunday said Kerala was one of the most investor-savvy states in the country and assured an atmosphere for sustainable and innovative industries to thrive. The Chief Minister said this while thanking industrialist Harsh Goenka who said in a tweet that his company was one of the highest employers in the state and had found it to be very much investor-friendly and supportive

Goenka's tweet had come as support for the beleaguered state which was drawing flak from all across owing to the outbursts of the chief of Kitex, the world's second-largest children's apparel maker, Sabu M. Jacob who said that his company was dropping a Rs 3,500 crore project from Kerala and was venturing out to other states. He told media that he had received invitations from several states including neighbouring Tamil Nadu to set up his industry there.

Responding to Goenka in a tweet, Pinarayi Vijayan said that Kerala was one of the most investor-friendly states in the country and that there was no need for concern for any industrialists in the state. "Thank you @hvgoenka for allaying the apprehensions over Kerala's EoDB. Your honesty is much appreciated. Kerala has been one of the most investor-friendly states in India and will continue to be so. The LDF government ensures that sustainable and innovative industries thrive here," he posted.
