Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Friday said the incumbent government implemented more development activities than it pledged.
“If BNP had assumed office, the country’s development would have been hindered,” she said.
The premier hoped that the countrymen would elect the Awami League in the next general elections for the sake of the country’s development and peace.
AL always brought fame for the country while the opposition tarnished the country’s image, added Hasina.
The ruling Awami League president was addressing a view-exchange meeting with the party leaders from Comilla (South and North), Chittagong (South and North) and Chittagong city unit, Pabna and Rangpur.
The meeting was a part of the series of meetings to be held with grass roots leaders to get their opinion about the party’s probable candidates for the upcoming national polls.
Describing all achievements of the incumbent government, the PM said Awami League was the only party that could do something for people.
She alleged that the main opposition BNP only knew how to thrive on corruption and loot. Criticising her political arch rival Khaleda Zia, Sheikh Hasina said the opposition leader wanted to confuse people through falsehood.
The AL chief expressed her optimism that people would give their mandate to rule the country again.
During the AL tenure, pass rate in education sector was increased, medicare and books were provided to the students free of cost and militancy subdued, she said.
If BNP assumed office, people would be deprived of these facilities, Hasina alleged.
AL senior leaders, including Abdul Latif Siddique, Kazi Zafarullah, Sheikh Fazlul Karim Selim, Satish Chandra Roy, engineer Mosharraf Hossain, Nuh-ul-Alam Lenin, Abul Hasnat Abdullah, Mahbub-ul Alam Hanif and Mrinal Kanti Das, among others, were present at the meeting.
After delivering her introductory speech, the AL president started a closed-door meeting with the district level leaders.
