Khaleda to address Rajbari rally Saturday

As part of her move to rejuvenate her party’s grassroots leaders through district tours, BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia is going to Rajbari on Saturday to address a public rally. Khaleda will address the rally to be organised by her party-led 19-party alliance on Rajbari Railway ground in the evening, her media wing member Sayrul Kabir Khan told UNB on Wednesday night. He said the 19-party leaders and activists are completing all necessary preparations to make the rally a success. It will be the first public rally of the BNP chief after the national election held on January 5 amid boycott by her party-led alliance. With her visit to Rajbari, the BNP chief is also initiating the district tour as per the suggestion of her party’s standing committee members to rejuvenate the party’s grassroots leaders who apparently got demoralised following BNP’s January 5 polls boycott decision. Meanwhile, the 56 teams formed comprising party senior leaders are visiting the party’s 75 organisational districts to revitalise the party’s grassroots leaders and activists alongside monitoring the upazila polls.
