Ganosamhati unveils electoral manifesto
Ganosamhati Andolon yesterday unveiled its election manifesto, pledging to build the country free from fear, through establishment of an effective democracy and ensuring people's freedom of expression.
The left-leaning political party also assured to build Bangladesh as a prosperous country through ensuring development of all citizens, and providing more emphasis on education, health and banking sectors, if it is voted to power.
The manifesto was unveiled at a press conference organised by the party at its office in Dhaka.
Speaking on the occasion, the party's chief coordinator Zonayed Saki said they portrayed their vision and outline in the manifesto which is very necessary to be implemented considering the country's current situation.
“The manifesto is implementable although our party doesn't have the opportunity to do so as we are participating in the election from three constituencies. In future, we will compete in all 300 constituencies,” he added.
Ganosamhati is a component of Left Democratic Alliance (LDA), a coalition of eight left-leaning parties.
As the party is not registered with the Election Commission (EC), its candidates are participating in the parliamentary election in Dhaka-12, Chattogram-10 and Pabna-1 constituencies with the symbol of “spade”, which belongs to LDA's component Revolutionary Workers Party of Bangladesh.
About campaigning, Saki said the upcoming polls is going to be one-sided, considering the campaign and attack on oppositions.
“The ruling party men didn't allow our party activists to campaign in the constituency [Dhaka-12] from where I am competing. Even police barred us from opening a polling office there,” Saki alleged.
