Reform
It is of course time for the political parties to go for reform as their acceptability to mass people has dramatically diminished over the past few years due to the politicians' involvement in corruption and embezzlement. Some so called parties are contemplating reform and curbing the party chief's absolute power, as they think it is the major hurdle that hindered democratisation of the political parties. Recently, BNP Secretary General Mannan Bhuiyan placed a set of reform proposal before the media. The proposals stipulate that the chairperson of the party shall not be the prime minister and leader of the party at the same time. The chairperson who was prime minister twice cannot be the party leader. Some other points incorporated in their agenda are interesting and baffling too.
It seems that the main objective of the reform proposals is to get rid of the existing party chief and nothing else! If this is the main goal, then the reforms might not produce the desired results.
