VIJAYAWADA: Telugu Desam president N. Chandrababu Naidu hosted dinner for Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan at his Undavalli residence here on Saturday. The two discussed issues pertaining to the TD-JS alliance with AP going for polls in just a few weeks.
Though the duo has met several times, mainly in Hyderabad and Vijayawada, their Undavalli meeting is of significance as both the leaders have decided to release a common manifesto, accommodating interests of both the parties.
Chandrababu and Pawan are also expected to announce sharing of seats by both the parties.
With BJP national leadership yet to announce its AP unit’s alliance with TD-JS alliance, the two party chiefs are continuing their talks to derive the maximum political advantage in the upcoming polls.
When Pawan Kalyan arrived at Naidu’s residence, the latter welcomed him with a bouquet of flowers. The JS chief was accompanied by the party’s political affairs committee chairman Nadendla Manohar.
Incidentally, Naidu and Pawan Kalyan are jointly participating in a bonfire on Bhogi at a private school in Mandadam village of Amaravati on Sunday at 7 am. The programme has been titled “Telugu Jathiki Swarnayugam-Sankranti Sankalpam.”
The two leaders will be burning copies of government orders, which are against the interests of the people. Later, both the leaders will interact with local farmers.
Jana Sena sources said Pawan Kalyan will meet Kapu Nadu leader Mudragada Padamanabham soon and hold a discussion on the political situation in the state.
