During the meeting, all parties agreed to speak in a united voice to counter the Congress attack on the BJP and its leaders over BR Ambedkar. It was also agreed that members of all NDA parties would continue to meet on crucial issues and would form a joint strategy. The echo of the NDA has become stronger with the BJP leadership taking the lead in cementing ties with NDA partners across the country.
