Two BNP leaders, contesting municipal elections in Mongla port and Morelganj as mayoral candidates violating party decision, have been expelled from the party. They are Oliur Rahman Paltu, vice president of Morelganj pourashava BNP and Molla Abdul Jalil, vice president of Mongla pourashava BNP. District BNP general secretary Prof Ali Reza Babu told the news agency yesterday that the party gave support to Morelganj pourashava BNP president Abdul Majid Jabbar and Mongla pourashava BNP general secretary Mohammad Julfikar Ali to contest the respective polls. Paltu and Jalil are contesting the mayoral polls violating party decision, he said. Under the circumstances, local BNP at a meeting on Wednesday with district BNP president MA Salam in the chair took the action against the two rebel leaders, party sources said. The two expelled leaders, however, remained unmoved. They said they would contest the polls despite steps taken against them by their party.
