TDP supremo Chandrababu Naidu-who left for Delhi yesterday-is scheduled to meet President Pranab Mukherjee and prime minister Manmohan Singh today. He got an appointment with PM at around 12.30 pm while President gave him permission to meet him at 6.30 pm. The sources from Telugu Desam Party have told Andhra Wishesh that Chandrababu Naidu would discuss BC declaration with President and the prime minister.

It may be noted that Chandrababu Naidu is all set to win the confidence of BC s in the state, who reportedly constitute a large number of people in the state. Babu who apparently eyed the BC vote bank in Andhra Pradesh is presumably not leaving any stone unturned. He earlier said TDP would give complete support and encouragement to BC s in the state after which he announced BC declaration stating that BC s would be given priority in government jobs and well as in the legislature. In order to appeal various political heads in Delhi, Chandrababu Naidu left for the national capital territory yesterday.
