Hours after paying tribute to former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee on his 100th birth anniversary, NDA leaders met at Nadda's house for almost an hour. Sources said the leaders discussed the Opposition onslaught against the BJP over Shah's remark, caste census and social justice politics. Shah was said to have told the leaders, including TDP leader and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu, that the Congress was trying to create "false narratives".
