Chandrababu Naidu Meets Rahul Gandhi, Opp Leaders Twice in 2 Days

Naidu has told Gandhi to have a strategy ready in case BJP falls short of numbers & still stakes claim to form govt.

After meeting Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Saturday, 18 May, to discuss firming up the anti-Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) alliance, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and Telugu Desam Party chief Chandrababu Naidu met with Gandhi as well as with NCP president Sharad Pawar, SP chief Akhilesh Yadav and BSP leader Mayawati, reported The Times of India.

This is widely believes to be part of the TDP’s chief’s efforts to unite non-NDA parties to form a united Opposition and possibly stake claim to form the next government.

The TDP chief on Sunday also met with CPI(M) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury. On Saturday, Naidu had met CPI leaders Sudhakar Reddy and D Raja before heading to meet Gandhi in New Delhi.
