Quick ministerial response is needed in such matters, Naidu insisted. Naidu said that the ministers have been asked to prepare a roadmap for the first 100 days, create a priority list and quickly resolve key issues of concern.

Speaking about the Lok Sabha schedule, Naidu said the Budget session will begin on June 4 and conclude on June 12. Naidu said the Speaker of the 16th Lok Sabha will be elected on June 6. BJP has recommended senior leader Kamal Nath's name for the post of pro-tem speaker.

They would focus on overcoming delays to major infrastructure projects and addressing why India has become a coal importer'' he added.
