In a significant organisational change, the BJP has removed Shivraj Singh Chouhan, the chief minister of Madhya Pradesh, and Union Minister Nitin Gadkari from its top decision-making council. BS Yediyurappa, a former chief minister of Karnataka, and former Assam CM Sarbananda Sonowal have been added to the party's newly reorganised parliamentary board, which now includes several fresh faces. The top decision-making body in the BJP is the parliamentary board, which makes decisions about chief ministers, state heads, and other important positions.

JP Nadda, Narendra Modi, Rajnath Singh, Amit Shah, K Laxman, Iqbal Singh Lalpura, Sudha Yadav, Satyanarayan Jatiya, and BL Santosh are also included on the BJP Parliamentary Board.

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.
