BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul, campaigning for the election, pledged that if BNP comes to power, it would create 1.5 crore jobs within 18 months and introduce targeted support schemes such as a family card for women’s poverty alleviation, agricultural cards for farmers, and health cards for affordable healthcare. However, BNP chairman Tarique Rahman’s overarching development plan remains obscure, with no preliminary steps taken, leaving these promises largely speculative. Fakhrul framed these pledges as part of Rahman’s plan and urged voters to support the party’s symbol, the sheaf of paddy, while also committing to rural development and protection of all religious communities.
