The Shah-Nadda meeting came after a series of events.

On Thursday, the former Punjab Chief Minister meets National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval and after the meeting, Doval leaves to meet Shah.
All these meetings are being linked to the political situation and security issues in Punjab.

The party organisation and the preparations for the elections would have been discussed in the meeting. This also includes the political situation in Punjab as the BJP is going to the polls in the state for the first time after the breaking of the allaince with the Akali Dal and wants to achieve 'bumper' success in the state.
During the meeting with Shah on Wednesday, Amarinder has clarified his stand regarding farm laws and farmers' movement and on Thursday he also made it clear that he is leaving Congress and forming a new party.
The way Amarinder is constantly raising the issue of national security, it seems that there is still a lot to be seen in the politics of Punjab.
The police are not taking chances with the inflammatory situation and sufficient force has been deployed to prevent a possible breakdown of law and order.
