They had said that the party had been "emasculated" in one year. However, showing signs of thaw, Advani had recently said Modi was on track to bring 'achhe din' (good days) while Kumar had expressed his happiness over the party reaching out to them.
The NDA members met at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's official residence on Wednesday evening where the strategy to deal with any possible attack by the opposition on issues like "growing intolerance in the country", price rise of essential commodities and others was prepared.
"We met and discussed our resolve to carry out important work of the government during the winter session," a BJP official told IANS.
He said the government and its allies know that the opposition has issues and it could try to disrupt the proceedings of the house. But they have been assured by the Parliamentary Affairs Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu and others that the government was ready to discuss their issues, and that they should not disrupt the parliamentary proceedings.
