After a prayer and homage programme at Vajpayee’s samadhi, the Sadaiv Atal, where President Droupadi Murmu, Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi were also present, NDA allies met at BJP president J.P. Nadda’s residence. Kumaraswamy, Apna Dal leader Anupriya Patel and Hindustani Awam Morcha founder Jitan Ram Manjhi, all Ministers in the Modi government; Rashtriya Lok Morcha president Upendra Kushwaha; and Thushar Vellappally, president of Bharath Dharma Jana Sena. This time around, the Bihar-based NDA allies have become important on narrative issues as well, with Aam Aadmi Party leader and former Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal attacking BJP president J.P. Nadda on certain remarks he termed were pejorative references to the poorvanchali community, and likened them to Rohingya and Bangladeshi migrants.
