Amid growing speculations over a possible re-alignment of political forces in Andhra Pradesh, TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu met Union Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP president JP Nadda in the Capital late last evening, sources said.

They said the leaders are learnt to have discussed about a possible alliance before the 2024 Lok Sabha election and the Telangana Assembly polls later this year.

The sources said it was the first-ever meeting of Shah with Chandrababu since the TDP parted ways with the BJP before the 2019 General Election. The meeting assumes greater significance as they are learnt to have discussed the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana politics. Former TDP MPs Sujana Chowdary and CM Ramesh, who are now with the BJP, have been pressing for talks between the parties for quite some time.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
