Pics: Naidu Meets PM Modi @ Delhi

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi and formally invited him to inaugurate the much awaited Bhogapuram International Airport. The meeting comes as the state prepares for one of its biggest infrastructure milestones.

According to reports, the inauguration is likely to be held on August 1. The state government is awaiting the Prime Minister’s confirmation before making an official announcement on the event.

Bhogapuram Airport is considered a prestigious project for Andhra Pradesh and is expected to transform connectivity in the north coastal region. The airport is also expected to boost tourism, trade and investments.

NDA government is keen to showcase the airport as a major achievement in its development agenda. Officials are making arrangements for the proposed inaugural ceremony.

If Modi confirms his visit, the event is expected to draw national attention. The inauguration is likely to witness the participation of senior leaders, officials and people from across the state.

The airport is expected to play a crucial role in strengthening Andhra Pradesh’s aviation network. It is also seen as a major step towards improving economic activity in the region.

An official confirmation on the Prime Minister’s schedule and the inauguration date is expected in the coming days. Until then, all eyes remain on August 1.

On the other hand, the meeting assumes significance as the Centre is facing mounting pressure over the CJP backed youth protests on the NEET paper leak issue. The outcome of the talks and the political developments in Delhi are being closely watched.
