Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YSR Jagan Mohan Reddy on Tuesday called upon Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the national capital.

Reddy gifted Prime Minister Modi with a small statue of Lord Balaji from state's Tirupati Tirumala temple and a shawl.

In May, after Reddy was sworn-in as the chief minister of Andhra Pradesh, Prime Minister Modi had assured him full cooperation from the Centre and expressed hopes of working together for taking Andhra Pradesh to new heights.

In the elections held earlier this year, the YSRCP got an absolute majority in the 175-member Assembly, ousting N Chandrababu Naidu-led Telugu Desam Party (TDP) from power in the state.

 

The party won 151 seats, whereas TDP's strength was drastically reduced from 102 in the 2014 Assembly elections to a mere 23.
