The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has decided to bring its ministers and members of parliament under greater accountability to grassroots party leaders through regular review meetings. The decision came during a special discussion meeting held at the Krishibid Institution Bangladesh in the capital.

Addressing party leaders at the closed-door meeting on Saturday, Prime Minister and BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman said stronger coordination with both the party and the public is essential for the success of the government.

Leaders from the BNP, as well as its affiliated bodies including Jubo Dal, Swechchhasebak Dal, and Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal, attended the meeting from both central and district levels.

Party officials announced that similar meetings would now be held every three months to review government performance, development plans, and organizational weaknesses.

Ministers and MPs were instructed to maintain regular communication with local leaders and activists. They were also told to increase publicity regarding government development activities and the implementation of the party’s election manifesto. Grassroots leaders were encouraged to formulate programs based on public opinion and report them to the central leadership.

Participants described the meeting as resembling a “mini parliament,” where ministers presented updates on their ministries and district-level leaders directly raised questions and suggestions. Party insiders viewed the process of ministers explaining government activities before party leaders as a positive step toward accountability.
