Amid reports of disagreement in the NDA over Sushma Swaraj’s call for a non-Congress consensus candidate, Gadkari told Hindustan Times the BJP would be holding talks with smaller as well as regional parties.

"They have a lot of importance now,” he said. “We have no reservations about anybody nor are we opposed to anyone. I will talk to Nitish Kumar and Sharad Yadav to find out a unanimous choice. But I feel the ruling party should consult the principle opposition party. The Congress has taken a unilateral decision,” Gadkari said.
