The rumour mills were active for a few hours in the State on Thursday morning with the YSRCP legislator Jaleel Khan meeting Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu at CM’s residence.

He said he had met the Chief Minister to seek funds for the developmental works in his Vijayawada West Assembly constituency, construction of Haj House in the city.
“The Krishna District Collector and the Vijayawada Municipal Commissioner were present when I met the Chief Minister,” Jaleel Khan said.
