Following the meeting, Naidu took to social media platform X and wrote: “I met Honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modiji in New Delhi today and expressed solidarity with the Union Government in the fight against terrorism. The horrific terrorist attack in Pahalgam has left the nation anguished. No amount of condemnation is enough for such cowardly violence. The Government and people of Andhra Pradesh stand united with the families of the victims. We pledge our full support to Prime Minister Modi ji’s decisive leadership in safeguarding India’s security.”

He further added, “We are with you, and the whole country stands with you in whatever decision you take in the interest of the nation.”

The Chief Minister also thanked the Prime Minister for various projects approved by the Centre for Andhra Pradesh’s development. These include the expansion of NTPC and the ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel plant.

Naidu welcomed the Prime Minister’s suggestions for Amaravati’s development, including the adoption of the Miyawaki model for urban afforestation, which the state government has committed to implement.

Union Ministers Ram Mohan Naidu and Pemmasani Chandrasekhar, along with TDP MP Lavu Krishna Devarayalu, were also present during the meeting with the Prime Minister.
