Devendra Fadnavis, who was just 47 days ago asked to be the deputy chief minister of Maharashtra against his wishes, has now been promoted in the BJP’s key national organisation. He will now be a member of BJP’s National Election Committee.

The BJP also made changes to its highest body—National Parliamentary Board—on Wednesday. Notable omission from the board is Union minister Nitin Gadkari, who is senior to Fadnavis in Maharashtra. Gadkari is the former national president of the BJP. Fadnavis’s inclusion and Gadkari’s exit indicated a shift in the BJP’s Maharashtra and national scheme of politics.
