Questioning the direction of the government's attentions, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Saturday, 22 January, said that US President Donald Trump's visit will not make India a superpower, adding that human resource development was important too.

“US President Donald Trump is coming to India in a few days, but how is that going to make us a superpower? Along with capital investment, we need human resource as well.”
