Narendra Modi last visited Andhra Pradesh on 1 March to address a public meeting in Visakhapatnam. Organised at the Railway Grounds in the city, the meeting saw him take a dig at the local government and exude confidence that despite all the criticism against him, BJP would come to power in the upcoming elections and ensure all-round development to the state. The visit though was protested by the ruling Telugu Desam Party and members of other political parties, who demanded that the Modi-led government grants special status to Andhra Pradesh.
