Elections would be held after necessary reforms within the state apparatus are completed, BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir told reporters Thursday after holding a meeting with Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus.

Mirza Fakhrul and two other BNP leaders met the interim government chief on his request at the state guesthouse Jamuna in the capital.

Over the past couple of days, BNP senior leaders had repeatedly said that the party would give the interim government a logical deadline for reforming the state institutions before holding elections, but not indefinite period.

They had also called on the government for presenting a roadmap on reforming the state apparatus and holding elections.
