Nahid accuses BNP of seeking to monopolise power

National Citizen Party (NCP) Convener Nahid Islam accused the BNP at a press conference in Munshiganj town on Monday (26 October) of trying to monopolise power whenever in office and of failing to cooperate in a peaceful transfer of power. Nahid said the caretaker government system emerged during the 1990 mass uprising and was accepted by all parties in that movement. He said the BNP held a one-sided election in 1996 and was forced to step down amid a movement, and that in 2006 it politicised the judiciary to install its own judge as head of the caretaker government. Nahid alleged the BNP is again delaying the caretaker system process and conspiring to install its own people, and warned such attempts would not be allowed to succeed. NCP Senior Joint Member Secretary Sarjis Alam and other central and local leaders attended the press conference, held ahead of regional coordination meetings on organisational progress and planning for local and national elections.
