Naidu Seeks Alliance with BJP for Andhra Campaign, But Modi Meeting in Doubt
- Public meeting planned between Chandrababu Naidu and BJP brass on March 17-18 to kickstart Andhra Pradesh campaign, but unclear if Modi will attend
- Sources suggest Modi has met YSRCP leader Jagan Mohan Reddy more frequently than any other BJP CM over last 5 years
- Jagan has not openly criticized Modi though he has complained about BJP
- Delhi gossip indicates Modi's schedule does not include visiting Andhra Pradesh for alliance meeting, only Amit Shah expected
- However, Naidu has ability to make improbable alliances happen, so can likely bring Modi to meeting if he wants to
