Talking to ETV Bharat, Hussain said, "We are welcoming the suggestions of investors in the policy which we are bringing. Many industrialists associated with the leather sector were present in today's meeting. The suggestions given by those people today, we will also put them in our policy. Want the policy to be such that big investors come to Bihar and that there would be neither shortage of skilled labour force nor resources in the leather sector in Bihar. If the nation is to remain competitive in the international market with affordable production costs, then there is no better option than to set up a leather industry in the state."
He further even hailed Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for creating an environment of good governance with the development of roads, electricity and other infrastructure in the state, such that industrialists can set up industries without any hesitation and fearlessness.
