Highlighting her government’s tremendous achievements in different sectors, the prime
minister said: “We’ve tried war criminals and the killers of Bangabandhu. Bangladesh is
moving ahead with the spirit of the liberation war and has stood on the global stage by
raising its head high.”
Pointing out that every work of her government is welfare-oriented, the Awami League
president said Bangladesh is now marching towards development and prosperity as the
government is adopting multifaceted plans.
“It has been proved that the fate of the people is changed, when Awami League came to
power,” she said.
Sheikh Hasina said there will be no poverty in Bangladesh and all villages will be
turned into towns if her party is reelected. The prime minister said Bangladesh is now
a role model of development in the world as the continuity of the government was
maintained.
She said the BNP-Jamaat nexus tried to foil the 2014 elections and overthrow the
government by unleashing fire terrorism and vandalism. “They committed heinous acts
like burning the people alive and they torched 582 schools and 3500 vehicles as well as
a number of land offices and power plants,” she said
Sheikh Hasina said the people didn’t respond to the BNP-Jamaat movement in 2014 and
2015. “Today Bangladesh is now a role model of development as the people reelected
Awami League through the 2014 elections,” she said.
The prime minister said Bangladesh will celebrate the birth centenary of Bangabandhu
in 2020 and hundred years of independence in 2071. “We’ll celebrate Mujib Borsho in
2020-2021 by establishing Bangladesh as a poverty-free country,” she said.
Sheikh Hasina also reaffirmed her vow to build Bangladesh as prosperous and developed
country by 2041. “We’ve adopted the Delta Plan-2100 to keep up development and make it
permanent,” she said.
The Awami League president said 93 percent people have been brought under electricity
coverage as her government has increased the country’s power generation to 20,000 MW in
the last 10 years.
“Our aim is to reach electricity to every house,” she said.
In the evening, the prime minister exchanged views with the leaders of Tungipara
Upazila Awami League and its front organization’s leaders at Bangabandhu Mausoleum
premises.
President of Tungipara AL Abdul Halim Sheikh presided over the meeting, followed by a
special munajat for victory of AL-led Grand Alliance in the upcoming general election.
In the meeting, the AL President Sheikh Hasina called upon the AL leaders and
workers at all levels to secure victory of the party candidates in the next election.
