BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla criticizes chief ministers for Davos MoUs with Indian firms

BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla has criticized Indian chief ministers for signing MoUs with Indian companies at the ongoing World Economic Forum 2026 in Davos, Switzerland. He stated that it could have easily been done in India and has become a status symbol for them.

BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla has slammed Indian chief ministers for signing memoranda of understanding (MoUs) with Indian firms at Davos. He described it as a 'show off' and said going to Davos has become a status symbol. According to Shukla, these deals could have easily been done in India, avoiding the need for foreign trips.

The remark came during the World Economic Forum 2026, being held in Davos, Switzerland. Shukla accused the chief ministers of wasteful spending by inking MoUs with Indian companies abroad. He called it a 'show off to go to Davos'.

Shukla's criticism, given his association with Congress, could fuel political debate. However, no response from the chief ministers is mentioned in the sources. The event was reported on January 21, 2026.
