The announcement of jayalalithaa's meeting with Modi comes following Modi's various guidelines to his ministers that includes quick response to representations sent by the states and not to keep them pending for long.
The major issues taken up by the state government with the erstwhile Congress led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government include increasing the allocation of kerosene to the state; setting up of the Cauvery Management Board; attempting to encroach upon the powers of the state governments and retrieval of Katchatheevu from Sri Lanka.
Jayalalithaa led AIADMK in its general election manifesto had listed out several issues under the heading "Betrayal of Tamil Nadu by the Congress Coalition Government at the centre and the DMK".
According to AIADMK, the erstwhile UPA government had betrayed Tamil Nadu's interest by filing a counter against the state government's case in the Supreme Court on annulling the transfer of Katchatheevu to Sri Lanka in 1970s.
