However, as per latest reports coming in CM’s tour has been postponed for now. “CMO has asked to push the date for 2 weeks due to other commitments of Honorable CM. However, this falls into thanksgiving and holidays season in US. In January, AP is hosting pretigious CII Partnership Summit in Vizag from 27th to 29th. Considering this, we decided to move CM’s visit to February/March. New dates will be communicated soon” told Ravi Kumar Vemuru to Telugu360.com
