Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka Mallu accompanied Reddy during the meeting.

This was the first meeting between Modi and Reddy after the former was sworn in as the prime minister for a third straight term last month.

The sources said the Telangana chief minister discussed key pending projects of the southern state with Modi.

Earlier in the day, Reddy met Union Home Minister Amit Shah and the two leaders deliberated on matters related to Telangana.

While details of the discussions were not officially disclosed, it is understood that issues related to development projects and central assistance to the state were on the agenda.

Reddy took charge as the Telangana chief minister after the Congress won the Assembly polls in the southern state last year.
