The meeting lasted around half an hour. Gadkari is playing an active role in negotiating with groups within the party. He had yesterday met BJP patriarch L K Advani amid speculation about his role in the next government.
Senior party leaders Arun Jaitley and Amit Shah also held a meeting at the former's residence to discuss the situation arising out of exit poll results that favour an NDA government from coming to power.
Rajnath, Jaitley and Gadkari are also slated to meet Narendra Modi in the afternoon to discuss the possibility of a possible government formation in case the NDA received a majority.
Speculation is also rife about some changes in the party if NDA comes to power.
