TDP leader and Union minister Y Satyanarayana Chowdary briefed the media this afternoon about deliberations at a meeting convened by Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu on the Union Budget.
"As and when it is required, the chief minister and party chief will take the decision appropriately. As of today it (the alliance) is just going on. We never said (about snapping ties)...it's all speculation," he said here.
The meeting was attended by party MPs, a few state ministers, senior TDP leaders and senior bureaucrats.
"We have already taken up the issues with the Union Finance Minister, Railway Minister (on setting up a railway zone in Visakhapatnam). Definitely, in the next 2-3 days we are hopeful everything will be resolved," he added.

Chowdary added that the TDP would raise the state's demands, if required, in Parliament.
"People (of Andhra Pradesh) are looking forward with anticipation. They (the Centre) have done something, but much more needs to be done. We will discuss these things in the next two-three days and try to work out a solution," Chowdary added.
"If required we will protest inside Parliament. We are discussing specific points. If we don't get clarity, definitely we will protest inside Parliament during the (Budget) session," the Union minister said.
"I suggest the media should never anticipate, or think of, a divorce. You should think only of marriage," Chowdary said, when asked if a "divorce" with the BJP was imminent.
Asked if BJP chief Amit Shah spoke with Naidu (after reports about TDP's resentment started doing rounds), Chowdary replied in the negative.
Nor did Naidu speak to Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray, BJP's bickering ally in Maharashtra, as some media reports claimed, he said.
