Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president JP Nadda on Wednesday revamped the party’s parliamentary board, inducting former Karnataka chief minister BS Yediyurappa, union minister Sarbananda Sonowal and former minister Satyanarayan Jatiya into the BJP’s apex decision-making body. Apart from Yediyurappa and Sonowal, the revamped 11-member board now has Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union home minister Amit Shah, BJP chief JP Nadda, Union defence minister Rajnath Singh, Other Backward Classes (OBC) morcha president K Laxman, National Commission for Minorities chairman Iqbal Singh Lalpura, former BJP vice president Sudha Yadav, and former minister Satyanarayan Jatiya.

The move to reconfigure the parliamentary board was expected, particularly in view of the five vacancies in the 11-member body that arose over the years starting from 2017 when board member M Venkaiah Naidu was elevated as the country’s Vice President. There were more vacancies due to the passing away of three key party leaders over the following two years: Ananth Kumar in 2018, and Arun Jaitley and Sushma Swaraj in 2019. Nadda also re-constituted the central election committee of the party. The 15-member board now includes PM Modi, JP Nadda, Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh, Sarbananda Sonowal, BS Yediyurappa, K Laxman, Iqbal Singh Lalpura, Sudha Yadav, Om Mathur, BL Santhosh, Satyanarayan Jatiya, Bhupendra Yadav, Maharashtra deputy chief minister Devendra Fadnavis and BJP women wing chief Vanathi Srinivasan.
