There is no alternative to early elections to establish the country and the rights of the people, said BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman.

He said these things while speaking as the chief guest at the district BNP conference at Chuadanga Town Football Ground on Saturday (November 23) afternoon.

At this time, Tarique Rahman said, all political parties are supporting this interim government. Elections are necessary to return power to the people of the country.

He said we had proposed 31 points of reforms two years ago for the development of the country. Reforms are an ongoing process. One will start, another will drag it out. Only if the interim government can organize fair and free elections, the people will be able to exercise their right to vote to elect their representatives.

Regarding the elections, he said, many people are wondering why we are repeatedly talking about elections. We believe that the interim government will be able to organize an election. As a result, the people's representatives who will be elected to the parliament will be able to decide through discussions in the parliament how to solve the problems of each sector of the country. All reforms can be implemented through a real and genuine election.

Addressing the leaders and workers, he said, "To take responsibility, you have to play a responsible role. To play a responsible role, you have to fulfill the expectations of the people around you. If you can fulfill these expectations, only then will people give you responsibility, otherwise they will think twice." Earlier, BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir inaugurated the conference at 10:30 am on Saturday. BNP Vice Chairman Shamsuzzaman Dudu, BNP Central Committee Vice Chairman Nitai Roy Chowdhury, BNP Khulna Division Acting Organizing Secretary Anindya Islam Amit, BNP Khulna Division Joint Organizing Secretary Jayanta Kumar Kundu, Chuadanga District BNP Member Secretary Md. Sharifuzzaman Sharif, BNP National Executive Committee Information Secretary Azizul Bari Helal, among others, delivered speeches at the conference presided over by Chuadanga District BNP Convener Mahmud Hasan Khan Babu.
