Chandrababu Naidu: Telugu Desam Party chief Chandrababu Naidu today met BJP president JP Nadda and Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi on Saturday. Reports said the two met to discuss an alliance ahead of the Telangana assembly election later this year and general elections next year. The meeting lasted for about half an hour. According to information, Naidu was expected to meet prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday.
TDP was a part of NDA in 2014 but quit the ruling alliance in March 2018 before the 2019 elections on the issue of special status to Andhra Pradesh. He also held campaigns, rallies and meetings along with Congress leaders against Modi. However, both parties came together after the recent municipal elections in Port Blair.
PM Modi remembered NT Rama Rao, TDP founder on his birth anniversary in his radio program Mann Ki Baat last month.
NTR was the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh for seven years over three terms.
