Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu is set to visit Delhi on Wednesday to engage in a series of crucial meetings with central government leaders including PM Modi. Departing from Vijayawada at 5:10 PM, Naidu is expected to arrive in the national capital by 7:25 PM.
On Thursday morning, Naidu will meet with Prime Minister Narendra Modi to discuss various issues, including the implementation of promises made under the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act of 2014. The agenda for the meeting includes seeking central cooperation on several key aspects critical to the state's development.
In addition to his meeting with PM Modi, Naidu is scheduled to meet several other prominent leaders, including Home Minister Amit Shah, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari, and BJP National President JP Nadda. These meetings are aimed at strengthening the state's ties with the central government and securing support for various developmental projects.
Accompanying the Chief Minister on this trip are Andhra Pradesh's Finance Minister Payyavula Keshav, Water Resource Minister Nimmala Ramanaidu, and Infrastructure and Investment Minister BC Janardhan Reddy. This marks Naidu's first visit to the national capital and his first meeting with the Prime Minister since assuming office as Chief Minister.
Meanwhile, TDP in an alliance with BJP and JanaSena secured a massive victory in the simultaneous Lok Sabha and Assembly Elections held in Andhra Pradesh in June 2024. The alliance pushed the then ruling YSRCP-led by Jagan Mohan Reddy to the third spot in Assembly Elections.
