HYDERABAD: The Union Minister for Roads, Transport and Shipping, T. R. Baalu, met the Telugu Desam president, N. Chandrababu Naidu here on Monday evening touching off speculation about revival of Third Front.

Mr. Baalu was with Mr. Naidu at his Jubilee Hills residence for about half an hour. He met him ostensibly to invite Mr. Naidu to his son's wedding some time later this month.

Asked if he endorsed the Samajwadi Party's view that there was a fair chance of Third Front formation with the DMK distancing itself from UPA, Mr. Baalu shot back, "It is your view and not ours."

Was the DMK happy with the Congress-led coalition? "We are happy with all our friends including Mr. Naidu", he said smilingly.

Quizzed about the Third Front, Mr. Naidu said, "We will take decisions at appropriate time and we will convey the same to you".
