Also in attendance were Hindustani Awam Morcha (S) leader Jitan Ram Manjhi, Rashtriya Lok Morcha president Upendra Kushwaha and Bharath Dharma Jana Sena’s Thushar Vellappally.
Although no formal agenda was declared, sources said the assembly election in Delhi was a focal point alongside discussions on good governance, a hallmark of Vajpayee’s tenure. The dialogue extended to the ‘one nation, one election’ proposal, with the first meeting of the parliamentary panel set for Jan 8. “Attended the NDA leaders’ meeting in New Delhi today. Under the visionary leadership of PM Narendra Modi, India is achieving unprecedented milestones and has positioned itself as a global superpower,” Nadda posted on X.
Sanjay Nishad, chief of UP’s Nishad Party, described the gathering as “informal” yet key for strategising future polls, highlighting the unity among the alliance members. He said the meeting acknowledged the recent electoral successes in Haryana and Maharashtra.
