Coimbatore: Karti Chidambaram, Member of Parliament, advocated for the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister to undertake foreign trips twice a year to attract investments and expressed support for the Formula 4 car race in Chennai. These remarks were made after attending a wedding ceremony of a Congress party functionary's son in Coimbatore.

He can even go two or three times a year, which I welcome. This can potentially create numerous job opportunities."
Regarding the Formula 4 race in Chennai, Chidambaram said, "Events like the car race help put Chennai on the global map, making it a recognizable city worldwide. I welcome this initiative." He also addressed the issue of Cooum River cleaning, mentioning that the Mayor had reported spending several crores on the project. "I have requested a comprehensive white paper on this.
