PM to talk for 20 mins at GES
3-min slot out of 45-min session saddens KCR who was ready with a 20-min speech
The inaugural programme of Global Entrepreneurship Summit at HICC on November 28 will last for 45 minutes.
The programme will begin at 4.30 pm and end by 5.15 pm.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the summit for 20 minutes, while Ivanka Trump who has been allotted five minutes will also talk to the audience and Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao will have three minutes for his inaugural address. The CMO had prepared a 20-minute-speech for the CM, but the GES schedule released by organisers has upset their plans. The CM was all geared up to showcase TS as the youngest state in the country leading in IT, industrial sectors and empowerment of women in his speech.

Mr Modi will reach the auditorium at 4.30 pm. He will watch an audio-video presentation on the GES main theme of the meeting.
The 10-minute film will last till 4.30 pm, after which the CM will deliver his inaugural address for 3 minutes from 4.40 pm to 4.43 pm.
