Newly-elected Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Saturday.
Akhilesh is expected to demand central funds for the development of the state during his meet with the Prime Minister.
This is Akhilesh’s first meeting with the Prime Minister. Earlier this month, when the UP CM was in the national capital, he had expressed his willingness to meet Dr Singh, but was denied permission as the latter was busy with the BRICS summit.
Akhilesh will remain here till April 17 and attend the April 16 internal security meeting on National Counter Terrorism Centre (NCTC).
