Days ahead of the declaration of the Lok Sabha poll results, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu met his Delhi counterpart Arvind Kejriwal in the national capital on Friday, with the AAP terming it a "courtesy visit".
Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and senior AAP leader Sanjay Singh were also present at the meeting.
According to sources, Naidu and Kejriwal discussed the scenario after the election results are declared and what role their parties—the TDP and the AAP—would play in government formation if such a situation arises.
However, the AAP maintained that Naidu paid a courtesy visit to Kejriwal.
Earlier in the day, TDP president Naidu, who has been rallying regional parties to form a non-BJP coalition, met CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury in the national capital.
