A senior leader familiar with the developments said normally a meeting with Shah lasts over 10-15 minutes, because of his busy schedule, but with Raje, it went for close to an hour. This probably is Raje's first in-person meeting after long.
He said the disagreement between Raje and Shah has been talked about in the past but this time it is learnt to have been smoothened.
Raje’s distance from the party, especially from the political activities in Rajasthan, is visible and would have been discussed with Shah. She, as the national vice president, also be given an important responsibility, said the leader.
However, people close to Raje called these meetings as a general courtesy. Raje would be visiting Rajasthan before the assembly session beginning from February 10.
