The party's core group, which met here a day after the Rajya Sabha was adjourned sine die amid chaos Thursday midnight without putting to vote the bill for an anti-graft ombudsman, also decided to launch a week-long nation-wide agitation against the Congress.
After the meeting, BJP chief spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad said that a high-level party delegation will meet the president Jan 3 to register its protest "against the murder of democracy by the UPA government".
The delegation will be led by senior leader L.K. Advani and party president Nitin Gadkari.
He said the party will also launch a "save democracy, remove Congress" campaign throughout the country Jan 3-10.
Prasad alleged the government did not have house majority in the Lok Sabha during the voting on the Lokpal bill and it "ran away" from voting in the Rajya Sabha.
He said the campaign will be across districts and states and silent protest marches by BJP members wearing black bands "against the shameless manner in which the government conducted itself on the Lokpal bill".
Party leaders said that the government's handling of the Lokpal bill will figure in speeches of party leaders in poll-bound states.
