The programmes also aim to activate party activists and highlight the successes the BNP-led four-party coalition government has achieved in the last two and a half years.

Under the programmes, the BNP and its different front organisations will hold rallies and bring out processions in each ward of the capital. BNP policymakers, ministers and senior leaders will take part in the programmes.

The party high command has instructed leaders and activists up to ward level to stay alert and all thana- and ward-level leaders to keep close contact with party's city and central offices.

Prime Minister and BNP chief Khaleda Zia will address a public meeting on April 10 at Dhanmondi-Mohammadpur constituency. As part of holding meeting in each of the parliamentary constituencies of the city, she already held meetings at Jatrabari, Bashabo, Lalbagh, Badda and Mirpur.

Several BNP policymakers admitted that the month-long programmes were taken in the wake of main opposition Awami League's (AL) April 30 deadline to dislodge the government. They fear that the AL might try to create a law and order situation.

City BNP General Secretary Abdus Salam told The Daily Star yesterday that the party has planned a massive campaign and mass contact across the city to politically face the AL.

He said the party will hold a massive public meeting at Paltan Maidan on May 1, a day after the expiry of the AL deadline, to give the AL a befitting reply.
