Dr Manisha Chakraborty, candidate of Bangladesher Samajtantrik Dal (BSD) from Barishal-5 constituency in the upcoming national parliamentary elections, has drawn considerable public attention with her campaign.

Gonotantrik Juktafront yesterday unveiled its election manifesto ahead of the 13th national election scheduled for February 12, calling for a complete democratic restructuring of the state and an end to inequality, corruption, and authoritarian rule.

Comparing Jamaat-e-Islami’s ideals and activities with “kufr” and “shirk” is “irresponsible, ignorant, and a violation of Islamic principles”, the party’s Secretary General Mia Golam Porwar said yesterday.

Political parties need to prioritise law and order, macroeconomic stability, and ease of doing business in their election manifestos, say business leaders and trade bodies.

Bangladesh Jamaat e Islami and the National Citizen Party (NCP), two components of the 10 party alliance, in separate press briefings yesterday alleged that BNP leaders are violating the electoral code of conduct.
