Javadekar first held talks with Chowdary after which he conferred with Chandrababu for over two hours.

Coming out of the meeting with Chandrababu, Javadekar asserted that the "alliance will continue" and proceeded to Venkaiah Naidu's residence for further talks, even as Chandrababu left for Krishna district for campaigning.

Though the TDP wanted the BJP to part with 7 out of the 14 Assembly seats, the latter reportedly agreed to give away only the Ichchapuram seat.

"Objections are natural in any alliance. But we discussed them in a cordial atmosphere and everything now stands resolved," the BJP state chief Haribabu said.

The TDP-BJP combine was sure to clinch power in both the states (Andhra Pradesh and Telangana), he said.

Nomination process for the May 7 election in Andhra Pradesh will end tomorrow.

While the BJP has already announced its candidates for the seats it will be contesting, TDP is yet to name its nominees for 10-15 seats even as it released a fifth list with 23 candidates this morning.
