Sources said union ministers from the Seemandhra region K.S. Rao, M.M. Pallam Raju and D. Purandeshwari met Advani and sought his party's support for a financial package for the region after the state is bifurcated as planned.
The Congress ministers were accompanied by BJP leader M. Venkaiah Naidu.
The meeting, which lasted nearly 25 minutes, was held at Advani's residence.
The sources said Advani later briefed Sushma Swaraj and Jaitley on the demands raised by the Andhra ministers.
