The BJP announced its 80-member national executive on Thursday with the likes of Varun Gandhi and Birender Singh, who have taken a sympathetic stand with the farmers protesting against three agri laws, and Gandhi's mother Maneka Gandhi being among those replaced with a new crop of leaders.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, many Union ministers, including heavyweights like Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh and Nitin Gadkari, and veterans like L K Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi, both of whom being also former party chiefs, are the expected presence in the list released by BJP president J P Nadda.
