Last week, the BJP dropped Nitin Gadkari and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan from its parliamentary board, the partyโs highest organisational and decision-making body.
The parliamentary board of the BJP usually has the final word on important decisions like the selection of chief ministers and presidents of state units of the outfit.
