He was then given an extension till end January and since then the rumours have picked up momentum, especially post Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Nagpur last month. However, that announcement, for some reason, is yet to happen. The delay could only be for one reason—that the name is still to be finalised, though the inevitable shortlist is doing the rounds. The names range from M.L. Khattar to Rajnath Singh, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Bhupendra Yadav and Dharmendra Pradhan. Each name has its own significance vis-à-vis the RSS and BJP stakes. One is told that the new chief will be announced in the coming week, but again, nothing is final till the official announcement.
