Mr Naidu had yesterday met BJP President Rajnath Singh at his residence.
"We are joining the government. The TDP was part of four non-Congress governments at the Centre. We would be part of the NDA as well," he had stated.
He did not say anything about how many Cabinet berths his party would get in the central government to be headed by Mr Modi.
Leaders of NDA allies like the TDP, the Akali Dal and the Lok Janshakti Party are also likely to be included in the Council of Ministers.
The TDP, which faced the elections in alliance with the BJP, won 16 Lok Sabha seats in Andhra Pradesh.
