BNP’s acting chairman Tarique Rahman has called on party leaders and activists to work relentlessly for the victory of the party’s electoral symbol, the ‘Sheaf of Paddy,’ in the upcoming national election. Speaking at a BNP-organized discussion titled ‘Plan to Rebuild the Nation’ in Dhaka, he said that winning the election is essential to protect the country and implement the people’s development agenda.

Rahman outlined BNP’s socio-economic plans, including the introduction of ‘Family Cards’ for women’s empowerment, ‘Health Cards,’ and ‘Farmers’ Cards’ to support agriculture. He emphasized prioritizing education, healthcare, and human resource development over large infrastructure projects, pledging to recruit one million health workers, most of whom would be women. He also highlighted the need for population control, sports development, and urban planning.

BNP leaders including Ruhul Kabir Rizvi and Habib-un-Nabi Khan Sohel attended the event. Rahman urged activists to take the party’s plans door-to-door and mobilize citizens, warning that inaction could lead to national decline.
