Prime Minister and Awami League President Sheikh Hasina on Tuesday reiterated her appeal to the countrymen to vote for her party's election symbol "Boat" in the next general election for their continued wellbeing and further development of the country.
"The next national election will be held in December next or January, 2024. I urge you to again vote for the "Boat" and bring Awami League to power and thus give another scope to serve you," she said while addressing as the chief guest a grand rally held at the Helipad Ground in Mithamoin of Kishoreganj.
Mithamoin Upazila Awami League arranged the rally.
Awami League government has made a massive change by making Bangladesh a model of development on the world stage in the last 14 years.
“I would like to urge you to give us the scope to serve you by making Awami League victorious through casting votes for the boat symbol also in the next election. It is my appeal to you,” she said.
In reply, the people who thronged in thousands at the venue to see and hear Sheikh Hasina, waved their hands in support of the "Boat," reports BSS and UNB.
"Bangladesh has turned around in the last 14 years and has achieved dignity by transforming into a developing nation. Bangladesh has appeared as the role model for the development. Bangladesh is advancing and will march ahead," she said.
Sheikh Hasina said whenever BNP or BNP-Jamaat alliance came to power, the public sufferings went up. On the other hand, when Awami League comes to power, the country witnesses an increase in the production of crops, fish, vegetables.
“The people are happy getting food and clothes. The fate of the people has changed,” she added.
Mentioning that BNP was formed illegally by a military dictator who grabbed power violating the county's constitution, the Prime Minister said, "They (BNP) can give nothing to the people rather can torture and loot them."
Noting that the government is now implementing different programmes for the overall development of the haor region, Sheikh Hasina said if Awami League returns to office again, the programmes will continue.
Awami League General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader, Organising Secretary Mirza Azam, Office Secretary Biplab Barua, Kishoreganj-4 constituency lawmaker Rejwan Ahmed, Kishoreganj district Awami League acting President Advocate Zillur Rahman and General Secretary MA Afzal, among others, spoke at the rally.
