Telugu Desam Party president N Chandrababu Naidu on Wednesday met Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP president J P Nadda amid indications that the two parties may join hands in Andhra Pradesh for upcoming polls.
Lok Sabha and assembly polls will held simultaneously in the state.
Naidu met Shah at his residence, with sources saying that Nadda was also present in the meeting.
If Naidu returns to the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance, he will be the second major regional leader to have done so after Janata Dal (United) president and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar snapped ties with the opposition and joined its fold last month.
The TDP president and former Andhra Pradesh chief minister, sources said, is keen to join hands with the BJP and a section in the ruling party believes that an alliance with Naidu will help the NDA do well in the state ruled by the YSR Congress.
