not ready to accept Modi's anointment at the moment. They want the declaration to come after the assembly elections due in a few months.

According to sources, BJP president Rajnath Singh was having a hectic time to bring all members of the parliamentary board meeting together and was even ensuring that the meeting did not see a showdown. He convened a meeting late on Thursday night to carry on with the consensus building. Leaders like Ananth Kumar and Ram Lal were also trying in the consensus-building process.
