The Jana Sena leader posted on social media that he had a meaningful meeting with Amit Shah at his residence.

Pawan Kalyan also met Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw with a focus on improving rail infrastructure in Andhra Pradesh.

The Jana Sena leader said they discussed the development of Pithapuram Railway Station, construction of a Road Over Bridge, and key railway projects in the state.

"I requested that Pithapuram, an important spiritual centre visited by devotees from across the country, be developed as a model station under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme, and that the Road Over Bridge be taken up under the PM Gati Shakti programme," he said.

As someone who travels to Pithapuram often, developing it as a model station is a fantastic idea. The current facilities are not great for the number of pilgrims. This is a practical move that will help thousands.

All these meetings are fine, but what about the core issues? We need clarity on the Special Category Status and the Polavaram project funding. Hope "ongoing issues" includes these. Actions speak louder than press releases.

The Uppada sea protection wall is crucial for the safety of coastal communities. Glad it's being taken to the NDMA. This is real work that impacts people's lives directly. More focus on such disaster management projects, please.

Positive step. Better rail connectivity from our ports to other states will boost the economy big time. Hope the review by Naidu garu and these Delhi meetings lead to faster execution. Andhra needs to become a logistics hub.

It's encouraging to see state and central ministers collaborating constructively. The PM Gati Shakti programme is a game-changer for infrastructure. Integrating state projects with this national plan is the way forward for India's development.
