Awami League President Sheikh Hasina called upon the people to vote for her party's election symbol "boat" to give her government another chance to serve the nation, reports BSS.
"I want you (People) to promise that you will vote for the 'boat' to give the Awami League another scope to serve you as you did in the last election."
She urged the people while addressing a grand rally in Jashore on Thursday to begin the nationwide electoral campaign ahead of the 12th parliamentary election likely to be held in early 2024.
Hasina reminded all that the BNP did not give anything to the people rather resorting to the politics of killing, torture and filing false cases one after another alongside making its fortunes by plundering public money, conducting arms trading and siphoning off money.
"BNP did not give anything to the people except killing, repression, jail terms and disappearing people."
She also mentioned her government's massive development works across the country which helped Bangladesh become a developing country alongside elaborating on their plans to transform Bangladesh into a developed one by 2041.
The gathering at the Jashore district stadium and its surrounding areas, including lanes and bylanes, turned into a human sea as people from all strata including leaders and activists of the Awami League, it's front and associate bodies from Jashore and its adjoining districts thronged in thousands to see and hear the Sheikh Hasina after five years.
