The government aims to ensure fairness in the upcoming elections to strengthen the democracy and intensify the development process, says Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina
“It’s our motto to stage the upcoming polls in free, fair and neutral manner and I hope that other political parties will come to the elections,” she said as Bangladesh Awami Jubo League leaders and workers called on her at Ganabhaban on Sunday, reports BSS.
The Awami League president said “the reality is unless a political party takes part in elections it loses its strength” and expected all parties to join the general election through which she said “democracy would be strengthened further and the country would be more developed”.
The incumbent government has initiated several mega infrastructure projects and spearheaded a massive anti-poverty campaign reducing poverty rate to 21 percent from 41 percent and the development thrive should continue through Awami League’s reelection, she said. “If we don’t come to power none will implement these schemes.”
