BJP president Amit Shah, three-term Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and party general secretary JP Nadda have been included in the party's elite decision-making body.
The two senior leaders will be a part of the BJP's 'marg darshak mandal'.
Sources earlier said the leadership was not enthusiastic about keeping the two veterans on the board.

For the two veterans, who were not considered for positions of power in the new saffron regime because they were over 75 years, this will be a far more significant blow. For Advani, the exclusion from the board is part of a procession of setbacks that the veteran has suffered since he was overruled on whether Narendra Modi should be projected as the party 's PM candidate. The leadership had also shrugged aside the argument of Advani's loyalists that he should be sponsored for the post of Lok Sabha Speaker.

"When a generational shift has taken place and when need for accommodating fresh energy and ideas has finally been recognized, we need to make room for others who are more in tune with the requirements of the changed times," a senior party leader said.
