New Delhi: N Chandrababu Naidu's swearing-in as Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister has been pushed to June 12 instead, as per sources cited by media reports.

Reports suggest that Naidu's ceremony was postponed due to Prime Minister Modi and NDA cabinet's swearing-in ceremony scheduled for June 8. The PM and other senior NDA leaders are likely to attend the mega event.

On Thursday, June 6, Naidu is likely to meet all MPs in Vijayawada and will discuss important portfolios.

This comes a day after Naidu on Wednesday showed complete support to NDA and PM Modi and met him in Delhi on Wednesday.

"Honouring the mandate given by the people of our country, all NDA partners unanimously endorsed Shri @narendramodi Ji as our coalition leader at a meeting held in Delhi today. Under his able leadership, we shall all strive to ensure that our country continues to prosper and emerge as a global leader," Naidu's post on X read.

'Andhra Pradesh Has Won': Naidu

June 4's victory in the Assembly elections 2024, resulted in Naidu's powerful political comeback, especially after the former CM of the state was arrested in September 2023 by the State police’s CID for involvement in the alleged 'Skill Development' scam. The Telugu Desam Party's chief is set to become the state's chief minister for the fourth time after defeating YSR Congress Party's YS Jagan Mohan Reddy in the recent Assembly elections.

The TDP which is now a part of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) along with Pawan Kalyan-led Jana Sena Party (JSP) secured 135 seats.

Meanwhile, Reddy's YSRCP won only 10 seats and led only in more seats as of June 5, which could be reduced to a minority with about 10 seats.

As part of the sear-sharing arrangement, the TDP contested in only 144 of 175 seats, while JSP and BJP fought in 21 and 10 seats respectively.

Expressing his gratitude to his supporters amid his win, Naidu on X said, "Andhra Pradesh has won! The people of Andhra Pradesh have won! Today, my heart is filled with gratitude. I thank the people of our state for blessing the TDP-JSP-BJP alliance with an overwhelming mandate to serve them. Together, we have won a battle to reclaim our state, and together, we will rebuild it."
