BNP Standing Committee member Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury announced that the party will not pursue large-scale mega projects if it comes to power, instead focusing on skill development and private sector growth. Speaking at a business exchange meeting in Faridpur on Saturday, he emphasized that BNP aims to simplify business operations and ensure that economic benefits reach all citizens rather than a select few. Khasru argued that Bangladesh’s future development model should move away from state-dominated mega projects toward initiatives that empower individuals and expand private enterprise. He highlighted the importance of private sector participation in driving national progress and reducing economic dependency on specific groups. The meeting, chaired by BNP divisional organizational secretary Shama Obaed, was attended by academics, party leaders, and business representatives from various districts.
