"Even if you do not accept money, the smart camera will show the person offering it to you and this is enough to create a sensation," BJP national general secretary Vijay Goel told reporters here.

Asked if the high command has sought any report from the state government on two audio CDs against Dhumal and a video CD against MP Virendra Kashyap, he said the Chief Minister he has acted promptly on the matter by ordering a CID probe into it.

Referring to skyrocketing price of essential commodities, Goel said it was due to the UPA's "faulty" policies and "mismanagement" of economy.

BJP will launch a nation-wide agitation on the issue from January 25, he said.
