".. Most likely it may happen in a week or 10 days.." he said.

Recently, reports emerged that the top post was filled and the name of the candidate would be announced by party leader and Uttar Pradesh Minister Sidharthnath Singh during his visit to the State on January 17. Those who were heading the post of Tamil Nadu unit in the past include former Union Minister Pon Radhakrishnan, La Ganesan, KN Lakshmanan, C P Radhakrishnan among others.
