Online Desk : The National Citizen Party (NCP) has said that it will accept the ‘Shapla Koli’ (Water Lily bud) as its election symbol if allocated by the Election Commission. Speaking to reporters after a meeting with the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) at the Election Commission office, NCP chief coordinator Nasir Uddin Patwary came up with the observation on Sunday.
He said, “We have applied for ‘Shapla’, ‘White Shapla’, and ‘Shapla Koli’. If the ‘Shapla Koli’ symbol is granted, NCP will accept it.” Nasir Uddin Patwary added that grassroots supporters have also responded positively to the ‘Shapla Koli’ symbol. He further expressed hope that there will be a close contest between the ‘Dhaner Shish’ (paddy sheaf symbol of BNP) and ‘Shapla Koli’ symbols in the upcoming national election.
