Jatiya Ganatantrik Party, or Jagpa, Vice-President and spokesperson Rashed Prodhan alleged that ruling BNP leaders received contractual appointments to Grade-2 senior posts at 11 important government agencies and corporations. He made the allegation as chief guest at a Jubo Jagpa discussion meeting in Paltan, Dhaka, on Tuesday, according to a report published on July 28, 2026.

Prodhan described the alleged appointments as authoritarian and unprecedented, saying the placement of so many political leaders in top bureaucratic positions would open the way for unlimited corruption in public institutions. He said the moves amounted to turning the state machinery into a party office and alleged that the government had shown BNP, rather than Bangladesh, was its priority.

He also alleged that BNP began betraying the nation by failing to form a constitutional reform council while disregarding the referendum mandate. Prodhan called for an “inevitable revolution” and said the BNP government had no right to remain in power if the referendum mandate was not implemented. The meeting was chaired by Jubo Jagpa President Nazrul Islam Bablu and moderated by General Secretary Engineer Sirajul Islam.
