Madaripur, July 9 (V7N) – Workers from the Madaripur District BNP have called for the dissolution of the district committee, citing allegations of corruption, inactivity, and favoritism. The demand follows years of stagnation and internal conflicts within the party, which has led to significant unrest among its members.
 
The Madaripur District BNP's interim committee was formed in June 2019 for a three-month term. However, despite more than six years passing, the committee has not been fully established, leaving the party in a state of disarray. According to local sources, this delay has resulted in frustration among party members and a sharp decline in party activities, particularly at the grassroots level.
 
The 43-member interim committee has already seen the deaths of three members, while several others have become inactive. As a result, party initiatives have come to a halt, and the district has witnessed rising conflict and disorder. Party workers have voiced concern over the lack of initiative from the central leadership to form a permanent committee.
 
Recently, the central leadership directed the formation of union-level committees, but these have been marred by accusations of including pro-Awami League individuals in key positions. This has led to intense internal rifts, including violent clashes, bombings, and other forms of aggression. One of the most controversial incidents occurred when the local labor party committee in Sadar Upazila saw a pro-Awami League individual being appointed as the president, which triggered a deadly conflict, culminating in the murder of Shakil Munshi, the labor party’s president, on March 23.
 
Furthermore, there have been increasing complaints about extortion and mismanagement within the district party, with accusations of authoritarian leadership. These issues have raised concerns among senior leaders about the deteriorating organizational structure in Madaripur, threatening the party's overall effectiveness in future political struggles.
 
In response to this growing dissatisfaction, 29 district leaders have sent a formal letter to BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman, demanding the dissolution of the current committee. They have urged the central leadership to immediately form a neutral, active, and acceptable full committee to ensure the party's survival and strengthen its base in the district.
 
The letter states, "If those holding power within the party continue to prioritize personal interests over the party’s welfare, the district's role in the upcoming movement will be rendered insignificant."
 
Political analysts believe that without central intervention, the internal crisis within Madaripur BNP may worsen. The demand for a new, accountable committee comes at a time when the party's organizational structure is under intense scrutiny, and the need for proper leadership has never been more critical.
 
In conclusion, the growing corruption, inactivity, and the lack of meaningful action by the district's BNP leadership have created an atmosphere of dissent, putting the party's future in jeopardy. The workers' demand for a new committee reflects the urgency of the situation and the desire for change among the party's rank and file.
