Ahead of the upcoming budget sessions in parliament under the Narendra Modi government, the first visit to Delhi by Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu since assuming power has garnered significant attention. Naidu's role as a crucial coalition partner of the BJP, which narrowly missed a majority in the recent Lok Sabha elections, adds to the importance of his visit.
Reports indicate that Naidu arrived in Delhi with a focus on meeting top BJP leaders to discuss financial assistance and incentives expected in the upcoming budget bill scheduled for the last week of July. His agenda includes seeking support for key projects like Amaravati and Polavaram. 
During his visit, Naidu held a crucial meeting with Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari, which proved productive. Sources within TDP indicate that assurances were secured regarding significant road infrastructure developments in and around Amaravati, the state's capital under development.
Naidu, emphasizing the urgency to develop Amaravati into a world-class capital within the next five years, stressed the importance of central government support. His discussions with Gadkari reportedly led to in-principle approvals for projects such as the Eastern Bypass road in Vijayawada, an outer ring road for Amaravati, and a flyover from NTR Health University to Nidamanuru to alleviate traffic issues.
Gadkari has committed to expediting necessary orders and initiating construction promptly, underscoring the pivotal role of road connectivity in Amaravati's development as a model city.
The positive outcomes from Naidu's meeting with Gadkari highlight early progress in advancing Amaravati's infrastructure with central government backing. This initial success underscores the potential for further advancements as Naidu's engagements with Delhi leaders continue.
