Amaravati, Jan 19 (IANS) Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy is scheduled to visit Delhi on Tuesday, his third visit to the national capital in the last four months.

He will leave for Delhi at 2.30 p.m. on Tuesday after reviewing the implementation of the 'YSR Cheyutha Scheme' and the 'Andhra Pradesh-Amul project'.
The Andhra CM last visited Delhi in December 2020 and called upon Shah and discussed various issues about the state, including releasing funds for the Polavaram project.
