Regarding this, District BNP President and Sarishabari Upazila BNP General Secretary Faridul Kabir Talukder Shamim said, “There is no place for corrupt individuals in the BNP. The party will never take responsibility for an individual’s wrongdoing. 

Three individuals have been expelled. Although two were seen in a video, one was heard saying, ‘You’re getting rice worth six thousand taka, what’s the harm in giving 200 taka?’ The voice was identified as that of Pogladigha Union Jubo Dal’s Cooperative Affairs Secretary Mostafizur Rahman Babu. Hence, the Jubo Dal also expelled him.”
