A notable omission from the list is the name of Rajya Sabha deputy chairman Harivansh from the national executive committee. All members of the party in both Houses of Parliament, except Harivansh, and all JD(U) ministers in the state cabinet figure in the list.

“All MPs of the party are ex officio members of the national executive,” said a party leader.
