Telugu Desam Party chief N Chandrababu Naidu met leaders of the Samajwadi Party the Bahujan Samaj Party, continuing his efforts to put together a coalition to form the next government at the Centre.

Naidu reached the state capital after meetings in New Delhi with Congress president Rahul Gandhi, Communist Party of India leaders G Sudhakar Reddy and D Raja, Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar and Loktantrik Janata Dal leader Sharad Yadav.

Naidu met SP president Akhilesh Yadav first and later met BSP president Mayawati at her home on Mall Avenue, sources said.

The TDP chief has already held several rounds of discussions with various opposition leaders, including Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee, Aam Aadmi Party national convenor Arvind Kejriwal and Communist Party of India-Marxist general secretary Sitaram Yechury.

His TDP had been a part of the National Democratic Alliance and had quit the alliance a few months ago.
