We discussed West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee‘s invitation to attend a rally in Kolkata on January 19. We decided to accept her invitation and participate in the rally,” said Pawar after meeting Naidu

Mamtaji has invited. We are all going. I am expecting all leaders will come. There, we will decide the future course of action. On January 19, we will meet and discuss and if necessary, we will have a meeting in Delhi,” Naidu said.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu also met his Delhi Counterpart and AAP Chief Arvind Kejriwal. “The Delhi chief minister met Andhra Pradesh CM at Andhra Bhawan. They discussed several political issues, including a grand alliance for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls,” the sources said.

Naidu short visit to National Capital comes a day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi unleashed a fresh salvo on the Andhra Pradesh chief minister.
