Fresh agitation after upazila election

After the end of upazila election in May, the BNP-led 19-party alliance will wage an all-out movement for a fresh national election under a non-partisan administration.
The BNP standing committee came up with this decision at a meeting held at its chief Khaleda Zia's Gulshan office last night, party sources said.
“At the meeting, some leaders opined that we should give six or nine months' ultimatum to the government for holding a fresh election while some said it would be too early for the new administration to organise any new polls,” a standing committee member present at the meeting told The Daily Star.  
“Finally, madam [Khaleda] concluded we will call upon the government to hold a fresh election under a non-partisan administration as early as possible.”
At the meet, Khaleda also asked all the senior leaders to engage in the electioneering to ensure the win of BNP-backed candidates in the upazila parishad polls.
“If we cannot perform well in the upazila election, the government will say we would have lost the January 5 election had we participated in it. So we have taken this election seriously,” another BNP leader said.
