The Andhra CM will also be meeting West Bengal Chief Minister and TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee apart from attending her party's rallies on Thursday and Friday. Opposition leaders are trying to work out a meeting on May 21, two days before the Lok Sabha results come out, to discuss the prospect of a post-poll arrangement.

On Wednesday, during an interview to The Hindu, Mr. Naidu asserted that post-May 23 there will be a new Prime Minister replacing Narendra Modi. He asserted that the prime ministerial candidate will be amicably selected.

“There are only three possible options. One, where the Congress leads; second, where the Congress supports from outside like in the United Front government or third, where the Congress has to join the alliance. There is no fourth option,” he said.

The Andhra Chief Minister was in Delhi to attend the Supreme Court hearing on a review petition filed by 21 parties demanding 50% counter-checking of Voter-Verified Paper Audit Trail, or VVPAT. The Supreme Court dismissed the petition following which the parties again met the Election Commission to press their demand.
