Prime Minister and Awami League President Sheikh Hasina on Saturday (1 July) said, ‘The Awami League has brought the country's independence, given its economic emancipation, socio-economic development and arranged food, clothes and accommodation for its people (countrymen). So, vote for the Awami League's electoral symbol 'Boat' in the next general election,"
The Premier made the remarks while exchanging greetings with the leaders and activists of local Awami League and its associate bodies, local representatives and commoners at Kotalipara Upazila Awami League Office on the occasion of Eid-ul-Azha.
Sheikh Hasina said the fortune of the commoner is changed when the Awami League assumes power.
Briefly described her government's efforts to ensure the country's overall development in the last 14 and a half years, she, however, came down heavily on those who are blinded to the massive development.
‘But they're enjoying the benefits of the development,’ the premier said.
‘They who never want to see Awami League in power and don't see the country's development. I have nothing to say,’ she added.
The Prime Minister said she had no parents and brothers of her own, adding: "You (Kotalipara people) are my near and dear ones and you have always been working for me."
She came to Gopalganj to exchange Eid greetings with the people of Kotalipara and Tungipara without exchanging greetings with others including her relatives, she continued.
