Chandrababu Naidu is reportedly demanding Special Status for Andhra Pradesh, the Lok Sabha Speaker's position, and eight central cabinet ministries as part of his negotiations with the NDA-led government. Nitish Kumar is also seeking key ministries, including Railways and Agro Industries. These demands, if met, could significantly boost development in Andhra Pradesh and Bihar.
Chandrababu Naidu has confirmed that his Telugu Desam Party remains part of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) amid speculation that opposition leaders are trying to woo him into the INDIA bloc. Naidu, along with other NDA partners, attended a key meeting at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's residence to discuss government formation, signaling their support for Modi ahead of the upcoming oath ceremony.

Narendra Modi is set to become India's prime minister for a third term despite his party, the BJP, losing its outright majority in the 2024 elections. The BJP won 240 seats, falling short of the 272 needed, and had to rely on smaller parties within the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) to secure a majority. The opposition, which won 232 seats, has not yet conceded. Modi's leadership will now involve coalition governance, a first for him, and may require more democratic engagement. The election saw a record turnout with over 600 million voters participating.
The BJP-led NDA has cleared the way for forming the government for a third consecutive term after a meeting of alliance members, including key leaders like N. Chandrababu Naidu and Nitish Kumar.

The NDA secured a clear majority with 293 seats in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, and Modi is set to be sworn in as Prime Minister on June 8.
With a significant victory in the Andhra Pradesh assembly elections, TDP president Chandrababu Naidu is poised to play a crucial role in the formation of the NDA government. As he heads to New Delhi for an NDA partners' meeting, there is speculation on whether he will demand special category status for Andhra Pradesh, a contentious issue that previously led to TDP's exit from the NDA in 2018. Congress has challenged Naidu to make this demand a non-negotiable condition for supporting the BJP-led NDA.
With 16 Lok Sabha seats, TDP president Chandrababu Naidu is poised to play a crucial role in the formation of the next central government, as the BJP falls short of a majority. Naidu, who has a history of being a kingmaker, is unlikely to oppose Modi and may even be offered the NDA convenor post.
The Telugu Desam Party-led NDA is heading for a landslide victory in the Andhra Pradesh state assembly elections, reversing the 2019 scenario where the YSR Congress party had a massive win.

In Telangana, the BJP is leading over the Congress.
Experts believe that the predicted return of the BJP-led NDA to power will provide stability and continuity in policy-making, which is expected to calm investor nerves and benefit the Indian economy. This political stability is anticipated to support risk assets, macro stability, and the Indian rupee, while also positively impacting equity markets and long bond positioning. The focus will shift to the upcoming budget, with expectations of continued economic consolidation and improved growth potential.
The India Today-Axis My India exit poll predicts a significant victory for the NDA in the Andhra Pradesh assembly elections, forecasting 98-120 seats, with the TDP expected to be the largest party. The ruling YSRCP may see a decline, projected to secure 55-77 seats, down from 151 in 2019.
