AL deserves vote for posterity’s better future: PM
BHANGA, Faridpur, Dec 13, 2018 (BSS) – Awami League President and Prime
Minister Sheikh Hasina today sought everybody’s vote for her party to ensure
a beautiful future for the posterity, keeping up the country’s development
spree.
“Every vote and seat are valuable and your one vote will help us form
the government . . . shortage of a single seat could bar the reinstallation
of our party to the government,” she told a wayside rally at Bhanga
intersection in Faridpur this morning.
The premier added: “So cast your vote for ‘boat’ to ensure our victory
so we can keep up the continuity of the country’s development”.

Kazi Zafarrullah also addressed the rally, while Bangabandhu’s younger
daughter Sheikh Rehana was present.
Sheikh Hasina was on her way to Dhaka from Tungipara as part of the
party’s second day of election campaign.
“If Awami League doesn’t return to power, the construction work of the
Padma Bridge Project will be halted. So, a single vote is also valuable for
us to continue the uplift works,” she said.
In this connection, the AL president said, her government in 2001 laid
the foundation stone of the bridge. “But, after coming to power, the BNP-
Jamaat government stopped the work of the bridge,” she said.
“Many leaders will try to misguide you by speaking about different
issues. But, you will have to cast your vote by own and guard the polling
centres by creating public opinion,” the AL president told the people at the
rally.
Later, the prime minister addressed a rally on the Komarpur Abdul Aziz
Institute premises in Faridpur.
On her way to Dhaka, she will also address five more rallies at Rajbari
intersection, Manikganj bus stand, Rabeya Medical College and Hospital
premises in Dhamrai and Savar bus stand.
Earlier in the day, Sheikh Hasina started her journey around 9:04 am by
road from Tungipara.
Before starting her journey, she recited from the holy Quran and offered
munajat at the shrine of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur
Rahman.

campaign by placing wreaths at the shrine of Bangabandhu in Tungipara. She
