At a press conference in Gulshan on Tuesday, BNP Central Election Steering Committee spokesperson and party chairperson’s adviser Mahdi Amin accused so-called reformists of spreading misinformation about the BNP’s reform agenda. He said the party has consistently advocated for state reform, citing its Vision 2030, 27-point and 31-point reform proposals, and support for a bicameral parliament and term limits for the prime minister. Amin reaffirmed BNP’s stance in favor of a ‘yes’ vote in the upcoming national referendum on state reform.

He expressed concern over the spread of at least 29 false or misleading claims targeting BNP Chairperson Tarique Rahman in the past week, citing fact-checking reports as evidence. Amin also objected to the deployment of Bangladesh National Cadet Corps (BNCC) members in election duties, warning it could compromise neutrality. Additionally, he raised alarm over 34,442 election observers from 16 organizations, alleging some have political affiliations, and urged the Election Commission to verify observer lists and limit numbers per polling center.

Amin announced that Tarique Rahman would visit Barishal and Faridpur on Wednesday for campaign rallies as part of his election tour.
