Sources said some of the office-bearers are likely to press for declaring Modi as the campaign committee head during the conclave. But a consensus on the issue is eluding the party top brass. As a result, the proposal may not see the light of day at the National Executive meet.

"There is expectation among the cadre that BJP President Rajnath Singh will give out a clear message to the party at the Goa conclave. He has been working on it and is in consultation with BJP top brass and members of Parliamentary Board prior to the conclave," BJP spokesperson Rajiv Pratap Rudy had said when asked about the issue.

Asked if decks have been cleared for Modi to be announced as the campaign committee chief, Rudy had said that nothing has been firmed up yet. He refused to comment further on it. However, sources said Singh is still in consultation with the top leadership on the issue.
