Yesterday finally the list of all the 4 people who are selected for Rajya Sabha from Andhra Pradesh was released. Among those, even Parimal Natwani’s name was there. This was not unexpected as when Mukesh Ambani himself had visted Jagan Mohan Reddy at his Residence and requested to give a seat for Natwani, there was no doubt that Jagan will be nudging away an offer like this.
But why is Natwani so important for Mukesh Ambani? Why Amit Shah also had requested Jagan personally to have Natwani from Andhra Pradesh?
It seems that Parimal Natwani is very close associate to Prime Minister Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah and Mukesh Ambani too. As Natwani hails from Gujarat like rest of the three, they all have formed a deeper business and political association.
Since the time Natwani started to get closer to BJP, the relationship of Mukesh Ambani had gone low with Congress Party. In fact, the Congress Party claims that the reason for their long standing relationship with Reliance Industries that was built from the time of Dhirubai Ambani.
In 1997 he joined Reliance and by 2016 he was their Corporate Affairs Head. It is important for Jagan Mohan Reddy to be in the good books of these 4 to grow politically and business wise too.
