BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman has said his party is expecting a credible national election in Bangladesh through which people will decide who should look after them for the next five years.
Speaking virtually at four workshops, he also said that the problems of the country and its people cannot be resolved without a proper election system and elected representatives who are accountable to the public.
BNP's Kushtia, Magura, Chuadanga and Meherpur district units organised the programme separately to train the party leaders and workers on the party's 31-point state overhauling proposals.

“We’ll be able to resolve the people’s problems if we give power to those who are truly responsible and accountable. The individuals who will be elected by the people through a proper election process will be accountable to them. So, we’re expecting an election that will determine who will take care of the people,” Tarique said.
He also said the election should be held in a free, fair and credible manner, ensuring that people can freely exercise their right to vote peacefully, without any obstacles.
The BNP leader said it is a positive development that discussions on state reforms are now taking place, from the Chief Adviser to ordinary people. “But at the end of the day, people would want to know what has been done to create employment, reduce commodity prices, and address the problems in the education, health, and agricultural sectors. We must concentrate on these issues.”
