During the road march, the CPB leaders will walk over 3000 kilometres and organise different programmes including door-to-door visit, mass campaign and village meeting everyday, party leaders said.

The announcement was made at a press conference organised by CPB at its central office in the city yesterday.

They also said the government wants to make the upcoming general election a farce by using muscle power, black money and election engineering.

While reading out a written speech, CPB General Secretary Mujahidul Islam Selim said the government initiated an economy of 'plundering' in the name of market economy, which is destroying the country's agriculture and industry.

He said, "We will participate in the election with our party symbol if an environment for free and fair election is created."

When asked whether they will join the Awami League (AL) led 14-party alliance to contest the next election, he said they would not join the 14-party, rather they would contest the election alone.

"We are preparing our candidates for 63 seats", he added.

He also said they want to continue agitation with the pro-liberation forces and distribution of the seats will be considered when the issue of defeating the alliance government as well as the communal forces comes.

CPB President Monjurul Ahsan Khan said no qualitative change has been made so far due to the anti-people policy of the government.

CPB leaders Syed Abu Jafar, Ruhin Hossein Prince, Sajjad Jahir Chandan, Mahbub Alam, Ahsan Habib Lavlu and Shahidullah Chowdhury were also present.
