NEW DELHI — To keep BJP out power after the current Lok Sabha poll results are declared on May 23, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief N. Chandrababu Naidu has started his efforts to shape up anti-BJP front.
N. Chandrababu Naidu on Saturday met Congress President Rahul Gandhi at his residence and was scheduled to meet NCP supremo Sharad Pawar and LJD leader Sharad Yadav in the national capital later in the day, probably to discuss possible alliances in the post-election scenario, according to reports.
Before meeting the Congress chief, Naidu, who is spearheading an effort to cobble up an anti-BJP front, also met CPI leaders Sudhakar Reddy and D Raja, reports National Herald.
Naidu is expected to meet Uttar Pradesh’s former Chief Ministers Mayawati and Akhilesh Yadav in Lucknow on Saturday evening.
