Bangladesh has turned around in last 14 years and emerged as a development role model: HPM Sheikh Hasina

Prime Minister and Awami League President Sheikh Hasina said, "Bangladesh has turned around in the last 14 years and achieved dignity by transforming into a developing nation. Bangladesh has emerged as a development role model. Bangladesh is advancing and will march ahead."

She has reiterated her appeal to the countrymen to vote for her party's electoral symbol, boat, to allow the current government to continue its endeavours to ensure the country's overall development.

"I urge you to vote for boat again and bring the Awami League to power, giving us another scope to serve you," the premier said as the chief guest at a grand rally held at Kishoreganj's Helipad Ground on Tuesday.

The prime minister asked all to raise their hands in support of boat and thus for the development, as the Awami League government has made a massive change by making Bangladesh a model of development on the world stage in the last 14 years.

In reply, the people who thronged in thousands at the venue to see and hear Sheikh Hasina waved their hands in support of boat.

The prime minister said whenever the BNP-Jamaat clique assumed power, they brought untold suffering to the countrymen, and on the contrary, whenever the Awami League was voted into power, the fate of the people changed.

“The BNP was formed illegally by a military dictator who seized power in violation of the country's constitution. BNP can give nothing to the people but torture and loot them," the PM also said.

Awami League General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader, MP, Organizing Secretary Mirza Azam, MP, and Office Secretary Biplab Barua, Kishoreganj-4 constituency lawmaker Rejwan Ahmed, Kishoreganj Awami League acting president Advocate Zillur Rahman, and General Secretary MA Afzal, among others, spoke at the rally, organized by the Mithamain upazila Awami League.

Mithamain Awami League President and General Secretary Principal Abdul Haque and Babu Samir Kumar Baishnob presided over and moderated, respectively, the meeting.
