BNP Joint Secretary General Syed Emran Saleh Prince has accused the ruling Awami League of neglecting and marginalizing local government leaders. He claimed Awami League activists had monopolized local institutions, turning them into hubs of corruption and looting, while the administration remained complicit. Prince pledged that the BNP would work to strengthen local governance and ensure it is free from partisan influence, enabling elected representatives to serve the people effectively. He urged union council members to focus on their responsibilities and prepare for the BNP's future public welfare initiatives.
