Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu visited Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi on July 16. The leader of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) then wrote on 'X', informing him of the dire financial situation that Andhra Pradesh had fallen into over the previous five years. On Wednesday (July 17), Chief Minister is probably going to meet with a few central ministries.
"I also discussed the findings of the four White Papers released, outlining the staggering debt accumulated between FY 2019-24 that spiralled our State's finances out of control. Economic incompetence, gross mismanagement, and rampant corruption by the previous government have caused irreparable damage to our State," said Chandrababu Naidu.
"Honouring the mandate given by our people to the NDA, the Central and State governments will devise a comprehensive recovery plan and bring our State's economy back on track. We shall fulfil people’s aspirations together," the Chief Minister added.
Naidu is exploring the ways to mobilise central funds for Andhra Pradesh development and meeting union ministers in Delhi. Mainly meetings with Amit Shah & Nirmala Seetharaman were highlighted by Naidu, whose TDP is an important ally of the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre, one week prior to the Union Budget's introduction in Parliament. Chandrababu and Amit Shah have met twice already this month. The Chief Minister had meetings with Amit Shah, Nirmala Sitharaman, the Finance Minister, and other central ministers during his trip to the nation's capital earlier this month.
