When Telangana Beat Andhra In The Race To Host Ivanka Trump
At the Global Entrepreneurship Summit, Ivanka Trump will be Telangana's pride, but Andhra Pradesh's envy.
U.S. authorities turned down requests made by the Chandrababu Naidu-led Andhra government to get Ivanka Trump, who is serving as an adviser to President Donald Trump, to visit the state, highly-placed sources said.
Andhra Pradesh's Economic Development Board Chief Executive J Krishna Kishore pursued the issue with U.S. authorities on behalf of the state government, but to no avail, they said.

The Andhra government had felt that a visit by Ivanka Trump would bolster the southern state's image internationally. It also wanted to line up several U.S. companies for investments in Andhra Pradesh, the sources said.
The state government had informed the U.S. Consulate that they were ready to organise an event either in Amaravati or Visakhapatnam, and had sought Ivanka's time.
Andhra government was told that Ivanka would not be attending any other programme, apart from the GES and those in New Delhi, a senior official involved in the entire process said. The Economic Development Board chief executive officer could not be reached for comment.
The Global Entrepreneurship Summit-2017 will be inaugurated by Prime Minster Narendra Modi. Ivanka Trump will lead a delegation from her country at the event.
