Annamalai Criticizes Gujarat-Centric Development Model for AI, Chips, CWG

Annamalai, a senior official, criticized the Gujarat-centric model that seeks to position the state as a hub for advanced technology and major sporting events. He pointed out that AI development, chip manufacturing and hosting the Commonwealth Games cannot all be concentrated in Gujarat, warning that such a focus could strain resources and overlook other regions. The model has been promoted as a way to boost Gujarat’s economic profile, but critics argue it risks creating regional disparities. Annamalai called for a more balanced national strategy that distributes opportunities across the country.
