Prime Minister and Awami League (AL) President Sheikh Hasina has urged the people to vote for her party's electoral symbol "Boat" to save the country from the devastation of the BNP-Jamaat and give them another chance to serve the nation.
"I call upon you all to vote for the 'Boat' so that the Awami League can serve the people again. BNP-Jamaat will destroy the country and my party only can save the country from the devastation," she said.
She was addressing a grand rally at the newly constructed Dr Kazi Abu Yusuf Stadium here, organized by the Faridpur District AL marking the inauguration of the Dhaka-Mawa section of the Padma Bridge Rail Link Project. Earlier, the premier inaugurated the project at Mawa in Munshiganj.
"Today, I am giving you a gift, the Padma Rail Bridge after the Padma Bridge," she said.
The prime minister reached Bhanga from Mawa by crossing the mighty Padma River by a special train this afternoon after opening the Padma Rail Bridge in Mawa.
Describing the BNP as a party of looters, she said that the top leaders of the BNP had been engaged in embezzling the money of orphans, money laundering and firearms trading and they left the country giving a bond of not doing politics while the Jamaat was involved in war crimes.
Sheikh Hasina alerted the countrymen against the bad elements and stood beside the Awami League as this party has always been working to change the fate of the countrymen.
She said the 'Boat' has brought the country's independence, given the Padma Bridge, Padma Railway Bridge, built thousands of miles of roads, schools, colleges and infrastructures and thus carried out the overall development of the country.
The nation has achieved the status of a developing country as per the 'Vision 2021' and Bangladesh will start emerging as a developing country in 2026.
She said the world has now recognized Bangladesh as a role model of development.
"It had been possible as the people of the country voted the Awami League to power time and again," she said.
"Staying beside the people in their needs" is the politics for the Awami League, she said, mentioning that her party leaders and activists rendered every sort of assistance during the Covid-19 pandemic.
