KHULNA, Oct 20, 2025 (BSS) – Carrying BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman’s message of reform and renewal, Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha (BSS) Chairman and senior journalist Anwar Aldin has been touring the coastal upazilas of Koyra and Paikgacha — meeting locals and sharing the 31-point outline that envisions a ‘new Bangladesh.’
BNP’s nomination aspirant from Khulna-6 (Koyra–Paikgacha) constituency, Anwar, also Joint Editor of the Daily Ittefaq, is leading a door-to-door campaign that has drawn growing attention from residents who are eager for change.
Over the past few months, he has travelled from union to union, engaging with people in local markets, tea stalls, and school courtyards — explaining BNP’s 31-point reform plan and how it aims to bring positive transformation to the state structure.
On Sunday afternoon, Anwar distributed BNP’s 31-point leaflets among residents at Koyra Bazar, where hundreds gathered to greet him.
Addressing the gathering, he said, “The youth will shape the future Bangladesh. To ensure democracy, progress, and social justice, young people must take the lead. BNP’s 31-point plan will help build a welfare-oriented state.”
The people of Koyra and Paikgacha are yearning for change, he said, adding: “They want a society free from extortion, fear, and political harassment. I want to stand beside them on that path of transformation”.
Later, a view-exchange meeting was held with local BNP leaders at Koyra Sundarban Secondary School.
Anwar emphasized Tarique Rahman’s directive to reach out to every household, saying, “We must earn people’s trust and reach BNP’s message to every home in Koyra and Paikgacha. No one should engage in actions that turn people away.”
He said the party would nominate only honest and capable candidates, urging all BNP leaders and activists to work in unity and put aside internal conflicts.
Criticizing the previous ruling party, the BSS chairman alleged, “For the past 16 years, the Awami League has filled Koyra and Paikgacha with corruption and terror. The people are now eager to end that misrule.”
Outlining his development vision, he said that if BNP assumes power, durable embankments would be built in the coastal areas, new tourism zones would be developed around the Sundarbans, and dilapidated roads, schools, mosques, and madrasas would be renovated.
In the evening, Anwar met local journalists at Koyra Press Club, noting that under the previous fascist regime, self-censorship had prevailed in the media. “But after the Mass Uprising, journalists are finally able to work freely,” he said.
He added that if elected, he would work to improve the living standards of the people of Koyra and Paikgacha, fulfilling their long-cherished aspirations.
Khulna district BNP Joint Convener Momrezul Islam, BNP leaders MA Hasan, Moniruzzaman Beltu and Abu Sayeed Biswas, Paikgacha BNP Convener Dr Abdul Majid, and leaders of Jubo Dal and Chhatra Dal, among others, were present at the programmes.
