PM-VOTE-REAX 2 DHAKA
Seeking vote again to the countrymen for boat, the AL’s electoral symbol,
the prime minister expressed her firm belief that they will reelect her party
to keep up Bangladesh’s development.
“Bangladesh has started its journey towards the highway of development and
I believe that the people will cast vote for boat to continue the uplift
spree and give another scope to serve them,” she said.
“We hope that we’ll be able to turn Bangladesh into a more developed and
prosperous country by implementing the projects that we undertook … I think
boat will be surely victorious,” she added.
Pointing out that her party wants a free, fair and peaceful election, the
AL president said: “We don’t want any violence, we want that the people will
cast their vote peacefully which is their fundamental right … they will
give vote and make victorious as per their wish.”
In this connection, the premier urged all voters, candidates and parties to
have patience. “If we can hold the elections peacefully, whatever party comes
to power, it will continue the pace of uplift,” she hoped.
Putting emphasis on maintaining development in the country, Sheikh Hasina
said Bangladesh Awami League liberated the country under the leadership of
Bangabandhu.
“The country is witnessing a massive development since Awami League was
voted to power. Now Bangladesh is a developing country and I’ve firm belief
that we’ll be able to transform Bangladesh into Sonar Bangla as dreamt by
Bangabandhu by bringing smiles on the faces of the distressed people,” she
said.
Blasting the BNP-Jamaat nexus for killing 10 AL leaders and workers across
the country ahead of the polls, the prime minister said it is very regretful
that four leaders of her party were brutally murdered by the BNP-Jamaat
yesterday.
“Our 10 leaders and workers including Patnitala AL president of Naogaon
were killed by the BNP-Jamaat cadres in the last couple of days,” she said.
