  BCB also has an alternative plan to hold the next BPL in two phases if necessary. BCB president Nazmul Hasan Papon MP told the media in Sylhet on Monday - 'Next year is our next BPL. We can't find its slot now. Slotting out has become impossible. I got one, but if there is an election at that time, I may have to give a gap. Where will we find security? Everyone will be busy with the election.
