The biggest surprise in this exercise is Nitin Gadkari's omission from the significant committee. The BJP has always kept its previous presidents involved in the decision-making process, and Gadkari is one of the most senior ministers in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ministry. Former BJP leader and current Union Defence minister Rajnath Singh has re-joined the parliamentary board.
Along with being promoted, K Laxman, the national president of the BJP's OBC Morcha, who has been attempting to gain support in Telangana, and Devendra Fadnavis, the deputy chief minister of Maharashtra, who was instrumental in forming the coalition with the Eknath Shinde camp that resulted in the overthrow of the Uddhav Thackeray administration.
