BNP’s all efforts in 2016 to stage a comeback ‘fail’

Although BNP had a plan to make a turnaround in the outgoing year through positive politics, it apparently failed to do so due to its organisational weakness and lack of a proper political strategy, reports UNB.
It also failed to drum up public support throughout the year cashing in on many public issues as its leaders remain engrossed mainly in discussions and press conferences.
BNP senior leaders over the year tried to invigorate the party men by telling them that their party has huge popularity, but they got demoralised at the end of the year as its mayoral candidate suffered a miserable defeat in Narayanganj City Corporation polls held on November 22, demonstrating the party’s organisational weakness.
 Though the party had also a target to overhaul its grassroots and associate bodies with fresh committees of its 75 organisational district units by December, the party could not make much progress to this end.
Following the party’s March 19 council, BNP formed a 502-member executive and 19 member standing committees, 73-member chairperson’s advisory council and new committees of Swechchhasebak Dal and Mahila Dal, but it failed to bring any visible dynamism in the party activities.
Party leaders think holding their national council, forming central committee, reconstituting some grassroots committees amid different obstacles and presenting a ‘well-thought-out’ proposal on the Election Commission (EC) formation were their main successes in 2016.
In the coming year, they said, they will make their party stronger further completing its overhauling process, and will be vocal regarding national issues to drum up public support in favour of it through various programmes relating to public interests.

 “Despite immense repressions, obstacles and adversities, our party is very much strong and functional. We successfully held our council overcoming all barriers and formed the central and district committees. Are these very little achievements?” said BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir.
He said their thousands of leaders and activists were repressed, implicated in ‘false’ cases, jailed, harassed, intimidated, and punished as there was no democracy and the rule of law in the country. “But we’re united and keep our party very much functional braving all the adversities and plots against us.”
Fakhrul, however, admitted that their party also has some failures since they were not being allowed to do normal political activities, hold rallies and organisational activities.
BNP began the year, 2016, with holding a huge public rally peacefully in front of it’s Nayapaltan central office on January 5, marking the 10th parliamentary elections day as a ‘democracy killing’ day.
Later, the party focused on holding its 6th national council and also successfully completed it on March 19, but it took nearly four and a half months to announce its full-fledged committee.
