2019 Lok Sabha polls: Chandrababu Naidu meets Kejriwal, Mayawati to discuss national issues

New Delhi, Oct 27: Ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Andhra Pradesh chief minister and president of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) N Chandrababu Naidu Saturday met Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati, Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and National Conference leader Farooq Abdullah, and Loktantrik Janata Dal leader Sharad Yadav in New Delhi.

Naidu also met former Union minister Yashwant Sinha, and called on CPI leaders D Raja and S Sudhakar Reddy at the Andhra Bhawan here.

At a press conference, Naidu attacked the Narendra Modi government, saying, "CBI inquiry is going on, it's under trial. Even our PM had said that all culprits in political corruption cases will be punished within one year time. On the contrary, some people are escaping. You're supporting tainted parties and victimising those who oppose you."

Kejriwal took to Twitter and said that people across the nation will have to join hands to save India and its constitution.

Arvind Kejriwal tweeted after their meeting at the capital's Andhra Pradesh Bhawan, "Had a good meeting with Chandrababu Naidu. Sharad Yadav was also present for a while. Discussed national issues. Present BJP government is a threat to the nation and to the Constitution. People across India will need to join hands to save India and the Constitution."

Naidu is also expected to meet other leaders, including those from Left parties on his Delhi trip.

The Lok Sabha polls are scheduled to be held next year.
