New body is old age home of BJP: Congress
"It is not Margdarshak Mandal or some advisory board but a board of mute people. It is an old age home of BJP," said Congress spokesperson Raashid Alvi.
In the new look party under Prime Minister Narendra Modi and new president Amit Shah, a close aide of Modi, old leaders were apparently sidelined.
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has been included in the board instead along with other leaders like J P Nadda.
While BJP president Amit Shah is the president of the new parliamentary board it also included PM Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh, Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, Union Minister M Venkiah Naidu, Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari, Ananth Kumar; Thawarchand Gehlot; and Ramlal.
The new advisory body of mentors called Margdarshak Mandal comprised Narendra Modi, L K Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi and Rajnath Singh.
