Nitin Gadkari, Shivraj Chouhan Out, Yediyurappa, Sonowal In: Major BJP Revamp

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Chouhan were dropped from the BJP's top decision-making body today in a shake-up in which BS Yediyurappa and Devendra Fadnavis landed coveted spots. 

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, who led the BJP to an unprecedented second term in the state, is a glaring exclusion after buzz that he would be rewarded with a place among the party's decision-makers. 

The BJP's rejigged parliamentary board, with six new faces including the first Sikh representative, signals a generational and political shift in the highest tiers of the BJP in the Narendra Modi-Amit Shah regime.
