Terming Jhenaidah–4 as a stronghold for nationalist politics, BNP-nominated candidate and former General Secretary of the Gana Odhikar Parishad, Rashed Khan, stated that attempts to block the victory of the BNP’s paddy-sheaf symbol would not succeed through conspiracy or political maneuvering. Speaking at a meeting with local journalists at the BNP office on Foyla Road in Kaliganj on Tuesday afternoon, he said that he was nominated for this constituency based on the central leadership’s decision and that questioning such decisions could create organizational setbacks. Referring to Saiful Islam Firoz, Joint Secretary of the BNP's Central Volunteer Wing and an independent candidate from the same constituency, Rashed argued that challenging the party’s top-level decision could be politically harmful and suggested that internal disagreements should not translate into independent candidacies, which could ultimately divide votes and weaken electoral prospects.

He further stressed that the BNP’s election strategy should prioritize unity and party symbol over personal ambition or factional rivalries, emphasizing that such divisions historically benefited opponents during crucial elections. According to Rashed, similar situations exist in other constituencies where independent candidates emerged due to nomination-related dissatisfaction, and organizational cohesion is necessary to prevent electoral fragmentation. He stated that independent candidacies provide no tangible benefit to the BNP and may hinder broader goals, including leadership ambitions at the national level.

Rashed concluded by urging grassroots party members and supporters to remain active in campaigning, engage directly with voters, and avoid internal disputes that could create confusion ahead of the polls. He expressed confidence that voters in Jhenaidah–4 would once again support the BNP’s paddy-sheaf symbol and that a fair contest would reflect the people’s long-standing political inclination toward the party. He added that any disagreements within the party could be addressed through organizational mechanisms after the election, and that unity would remain the cornerstone of achieving broader political objectives.
