Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Saturday expressed her optimism that her party would be able to win people’s mandate and return to power once again.
“The government carried out massive development work and earned public trust and confidence. So Awami League will be able to win people’s mandate in the next election,” she said.
Hasina called upon her party men to work together to facilitate AL’s comeback to state power again for continuation of the ongoing development activities and finishing the unfinished tasks.
The ruling Awami League President Sheikh Hasina made the call at a view exchange meeting at her official residence Gana Bhaban with AL-backed upazila chairmen, vice-chairmen, municipality and city corporation mayors.
The premier expressed her hope just a day after her proposal to the opposition to form an all-party interim government to oversee the next parliamentary polls.
She also vowed to strengthen the local government tiers if voted to power again and introduce district budget focusing on welfare and development projects.
Hasina added that her party would create such an atmosphere that would ensure maximum services to people.
The premier urged people’s representatives to work for all in their respective areas with sacrificing attitude.
At the meeting, Narayanganj City Corporation mayor, some 384 upazila chairmen, 680 vice-chairmen and 179 municipality mayors participated.
AL leaders Amir Hossain Amu, Abdul Latif Siddiqui, Sheikh Fazlul Karim Selim, HT Imam, Syed Ashraful Islam, Mahbubul Alam Hanif, AFM Bahauddin Nasim were, among others, present at the view-exchange programme.
