Telugu Desam Party (TDP) has decided against pushing for the Speaker's post and instead has prepared Andhra Pradesh-specific Union ministry-wise list of demands. The key National Democratic Alliance partner is unlikely to pressurise BJP and go with the latter's choice of candidate for the Speaker's post. TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu is more interested in pushing for central funds for Andhra Pradesh-specific projects.

The bone of contention has been cost escalation of the project owing to delays in implementation, increase in land required for the project and then acquired and the number of persons displaced by the project. Though the Jagan Mohan Reddy-led YSRCP government had pushed this, the chief minister had limited success with the Centre. Party sources indicated that Naidu will push the demand again.
