Vajpayee, Advani, Joshi dropped from BJP Parliamentary Board

Vajpayee--Advani-Joshi-droppedBharatiya Janata Party under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi seems to be doing a complete overhaul of the ruling party, with party patriarchs Atal Bihari Vajpayee, LK Advani and senior leader Murli Manohar Joshi being dropped from its Parliamentary Board, considered to be the highest decision-making body, on Tuesday.

They will now be called marg-darshak or mentors.

Mr. Vajpayee, unwell for many years, has not played an active role in party affairs. But for Mr. Advani and Mr. Joshi, it is the pink slip after serving since 1980 on the parliamentary board, the BJP’s highest-decision making body made up of 12 top leaders, now headed by Amit Shah.

Among the new members is Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan. Ironically, when Mr. Modi was first inducted into the board early last year, Mr. Advani had attempted to push for Mr. Chauhan’s inclusion too.

All through last year the veteran leader attempted to stall the meteoric rise in the party of Narendra Modi, but failed at every step.

By the time Mr. Modi was named the presumptive Prime Minister, it was clear that Mr. Advani’s stock in the BJP had fallen in direct proportion to the rise of Mr. Modi.

But it is after the national elections in May, in which Mr. Modi scripted for the BJP its finest hour, that Mr. Advani has been truly diminished. He was denied the post he wanted – that of Speaker – and even went through the ignominy of having his nameplate removed from outside his room in Parliament, though it was later restored.

In his new role, he is unlikely to have decision-making powers; it is a title that the BJP’s ideological mentor, the RSS, has tried to press upon him for years and Mr. Advani has resisted.

Asked what the new group of mentors would do, party spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain said, “They will show the way.”

He stressed its relevance by pointing out that Prime Minister Modi and home minister Rajnath Singh too are part of the mentor group.
Here’s the list of 12 members of the BJP Parliamentary Board: Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, Arun Jailtey, Rajnath Singh, Sushma Swaraj, Nitin Gadkari, Venkaiah Naidu, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Thawarchand Gehlotm, Ananth Kumar, JP Nadda and Ramlal.
