BNP’s acting chairman Tarique Rahman has reminded student leaders that the party’s electoral symbol, the ‘sheaf of paddy,’ should take precedence over individual candidates in the upcoming national election. Speaking at a Dhaka event titled ‘Plan to Build the Nation,’ he emphasized that loyalty to the party and its ideals must guide campaign efforts, regardless of personal preferences for particular nominees.

Addressing over a thousand Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal leaders from 75 units across Bangladesh, Rahman called for grassroots mobilization around BNP’s development agenda. He outlined plans focusing on environmental protection, waste management, sports, education, healthcare, and unemployment reduction. He urged activists to engage local communities and secure public support for these initiatives.

Rahman further stated that the next two months would be dedicated to connecting citizens with BNP’s vision for national reconstruction. His remarks come as the party intensifies its organizational activities ahead of the parliamentary elections, seeking to unify supporters under its electoral symbol rather than individual personalities.
