Three-term PM of Bangla, widow of deceased dictator Ziaur Rahman, head of the Bangla Nationalist Party, an apparent magnet for corruption ...
has promised in the party’s election manifesto, titled Vision 2030, that they will change several government policies, laws and constitutional provisions if the party comes to power.

Khaleda unveiled the 256-point manifesto at a presser on Wednesday at a city hotel.

BNP leaders and activists are saying they are optimistic about participating in the upcoming national election, and the announcement of the manifesto was a positive move that will prepare the party for a potential early election.

Reading out the manifesto, Khaleda said BNP wants to bring an end to political and social divisions in the country by uniting the spirit of Bangladeshi nationalism.

"After coming to power in 2009, Awami League brought 15th and 16th amendment to the constitution through which the systems of referendum and caretaker government system during election was abrogated," the BNP chief read from the manifesto.
