More than a dozen candidates have already taken the field in front of the council. They are communicating with the top leaders (voters) of the district branch. They are making many promises, including putting every unit of grassroots, with the highest importance, to universities, colleges, districts and metros.

The grassroots leaders are also investigating the candidates. The role of Khaleda Zia in the liberation movement, whether they were on the highway in the past movement, they are trying to vote for the deserving candidate.

The BNP's High Command has taken some plans so that clean and sacrificing leaders can come under the leadership of the Chhatra Dal through the Council. Sources said that as part of this, a secret committee was working to investigate the candidates. In the meantime, they are almost done with the cooperation of local BNP leaders.

A leader of the BNP's policymaking stage told Jugantar that another committee was functioning outside the three committees focusing on the council. At the behest of the High Command, they have already collected the biographies of at least five candidates.

Taking their family information through various means. The BNP High Command has sought information on five issues, including the political identity of the family members, whether the candidate is married or not. A draft report has already been sent.
