The BJP has assigned specific leaders to lead the movement in different districts, with State General Secretary Amar Kumar Bauri announcing that protests and gherao of DC and SP offices will take place at 24 district headquarters from September 8 to 11. Prominent BJP leaders have been appointed as district-wise coordinators, with dates for their participation in various districts listed.

Following the BJP's decision, a BJP delegation issued an ultimatum to the state government, but the government remained silent on the matter, leading to the decision for a statewide protest.
