BJP Parliamentary board: Role and function

The parliamentary board has the power to supervise and regulate activities of the legislative and parliamentary units of BJP. It also guides the formation of ministries and regulate all organisations units below the national executive.

The board also holds powers to take note of any breach of discipline by members, office bearers of state units and take necessary action.

Sources in BJP said that the reconstituted panel was evidence of “BJP’s organisational strength, with emphasis on diversity”.

They further said that the new Parliamentary Board shows how BJP rewards old workers and values the experience of its karyakartas.

“There is evidently an emphasis on diversity. Sarbananda Sonowal is from the Northeast, L Laxman and BS Yeddyurappa hail from the South. In Iqbal Singh Lalpura there is a Sikh,” a source said.
