Besides senior BJP leaders, the party's National General Secretary Ram Madhav is also be attending the meeting.
Singh, who is a party MP from Udhampur-Doda seat, said, "There were no differences. When you are in a coalition, you have to accommodate each other's priorities and each other's preferences.
"That is precisely what we do in a healthy coalition that augers well for Jammu and Kashmir."
On a question on how long it will take for government formation in the state, he said, "Very soon."

The minister said that both the parties will work on the agenda of development.
