Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi on Thursday to discuss crucial development proposals for the state.
Naidu, whose Telugu Desam Party (TDP) is an important ally in the BJP-led NDA government, requested increased assistance for Andhra Pradesh, especially since granting special category status to the state seems uncertain.
During his two-day visit to the national capital, Naidu also held discussions with Union ministers Nitin Gadkari and Piyush Goyal on state-specific issues. He is scheduled to meet other key ministers like Home Minister Amit Shah, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, and Health Minister J P Nadda.
The visit is significant as Andhra Pradesh seeks substantial support from the Centre for its development, following its division in 2014.
