NEW DELHI: In his second visit to the capital ahead of the Budget session of Parliament, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu met Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday late evening. According to sources, the meeting was to push for increased fund allocation for the state in the upcoming Union Budget.
In his two-day visit to the capital, the chief of Telugu Desam Party (TDP), the largest ally in the BJP-led NDA government, is expected to meet Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitaraman and other ministers.
Speaking to The New Indian Express, TDP’s Parliamentary leader Krishna Devarayalu said that the party is hopeful that their demands will be taken positively.
“The meetings will be mostly surrounding the Budget. We are part of the NDA and they have invited us to discuss issues relating to the Budget. We are hopeful that the demands made by the CM will be taken positively,” said Devarayalu.
This is Naidu’s second visit to Delhi in nearly a fortnight. On July 4, he met the prime minister and presented a seven-point development agenda aimed at addressing the state’s post-bifurcation challenges. He also sought central financial assistance to various sectors based on promises made in the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act (APR), 2014.
