New Delhi: Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief N Chandrababu Naidu met Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP president J P Nadda late Wednesday night. This enhanced speculations that TDP may rejoin the NDA before upcoming polls. Lok Sabha and assembly polls will be held together in Andhra Pradesh.

Naidu met Shah at the latter’s residence. According to sources, Nadda was also present during the meeting.

After Nitish Kumar, the TDP chief will be another big name returning back to the NDA. Actor Pawan Kalyan-led Jana Sena Party, which was a BJP ally, has already decided to join hands with the TDP.
