PTI, New Delhi
BJP announced yesterday that it was launching a week-long nation-wide agitation to protest dismissal of governors with RSS background and inclusion of "tainted" ministers in the union cabinet.

During the agitation "sansad se sadak tak" (from Parliament to the street) senior party leaders, including Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha LK Advani and party chief M Venkaiah Naidu, will address rallies and demonstrations across the country, BJP Vice-President Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi told reporters in the capital.

"The agitation is being launched to protest numerous undemocratic decisions of the Central Government based on narrow political gains," he said.
