![JP Nadda sworn in as cabinet minister in PM Modi's government](https://img.etimg.com/thumb/msid-110853760,width-300,height-225,imgsize-1528064,resizemode-75/jp-nadda-sworn-in-as-cabinet-minister-in-pm-modis-government.jpg)
The names, which were doing the rounds for the party president's post, have already been inducted into the Union cabinet. Leaders like former MP chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, former Haryana chief minister Manohar Lal, Union ministers Dharmendra Pradhan and Bhupendra Yadav were in public domain. But all of these leaders have been included in the Union cabinet.
This leaves the BJP to look inwards into the party organisation. There are two names which are being speculated for the post -- general secretaries Vinod Tawde and Sunil Bansal. Vinod Tawde is from Maharashtra and was a minister in the state government before venturing into national politics. At present, he is the general secretary in-charge of Bihar and handled several key responsibilities during the Lok Sabha campaign. Tawde has gained prominence in a short time with the execution of specific campaigns run by the party for beneficiaries as well as public outreach programmes.
Sunil Bansal is another leader who rose to prominence after delivering UP for the party as state general secretary (organisation). After UP, Bansal was rewarded with a national assignment as general secretary in-charge of West Bengal, Odisha, Telangana. During the Lok Sabha campaigns, Bansal also handled the call centres across the country, collecting feedback and motivating party cadres on the ground. Bansal has won the trust of the top BJP leadership and has become a name for meticulously handling the party affairs.
There is also a possibility that the party could continue with Nadda for some time till the search for a new president ends.
